Description
This silicone free, biodegradable, purified, crimped wiping cloth is manufactured from 100% woven cotton. It has a unique crimped finish and firmly twisted yarns that provides more surface area for collecting and trapping dirt particles. The soft texture and crimped stretch-like construction provides excellent surface conformity and memory. Our factory controlled purification process produces a highly absorbent wiping cloth which is compatible with cleaning solvents and will result in worry-free wiping and polishing.
Hermitex is used extensively by Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Thikol, United Technologies, etc.
Composition: 100% Purified Cotton
Width (inches): 9-10
Application: Use in cleaning smooth or textured, metallic and non-metallic surfaces where residual surface contamination levels are exceptionally critical. Excellent for applying release agents
