Cleaning Chemical Compatibility

Cleaning is important and so are the tools you use. Find out which chemicals are compatible with WypAll® and Kimtech base sheet materials.



Cleaning vs. Chemical vs. Wipe

Spray & Wipe

Surface is sprayed with chemical and wiped using WypAll® and Kimtech WetTask dry wipes.

Chemicals

  • Quats (quaternary ammonium compounds)
  • Bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • Peracetic Acid

Full Saturation

WypAll® and Kimtech WetTask dry wipes are saturated in bucket of chemical disinfectant.

Chemicals

  • Soap/Detergent

  • Bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • Peracetic Acid
  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone
  • Isopropanol
  • Acetone

Compatible vs. Not Compatible

Compatible - Soaking the wiper in the chemical prior to use will not diminish the efficacy of the chemical. The wiper is chosen based on suitability for use with the specific type of chemistry.

Not Compatible - Soaking the wiper in the chemical could result in reduction of the active ingredient and diminish the efficacy of the chemical. The chemical could have an adverse effect on the structure of the wipe causing it to breakdown prematurely in use; diminishing the wiping performance.
