Contec Sat Wipes - An Ideal Replacement for Toxic Cleaning Wipes

The supplies necessary for maintaining a clean work area and equipment can vary widely according to a company's industry and work situation. But almost every company has a need for hand wipes that contain degreaser. In some cases, over the counter wipes purchased from department stores work fine. But for companies that experience heavier residues, such as machine grease and fuel oil, on a daily basis, wipes that contain industrial cleaner are the optimal choice. Finding heavy-duty wipes that contain industrial cleaning power isn't difficult. But, until recently, finding industrial wipes whose cleaner was safe for employees and the environment was challenging.

Like traditional industrial solvents, traditional industrial hand wipes typically contain chemicals that are harmful for work environments and the natural environment alike, particularly concerning hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), which damage air quality and, over the course of time, can lead to chronic illness in workers. Until recently, purchasing non-toxic wipes often meant purchasing wipes that didn't offer the necessary cleaning power, leaving companies with no choice but to purchase wipes that emitted HAPs. Today, however, eco friendly cleaning suppliers offer environmentally preferred wipes, as Contec Sat wipes are an example.

Contec Sat wipes can be saturated with virtually any eco friendly solvent, cleaner, or degreaser, and dispense from center pull rolls in a self-closing, reusable container. Offering up to a 40 percent reduction of both hazardous waste and solvent emissions, Contec wipes are ideal for the following applications: paint preparation, sealant and adhesive preparation, composite surface wiping, field service and repair, and dirt, grease and oil removal. Often found in the aerospace and automotive industries, Contec wipes are also used in commercial room cleaning and general industry.

While the impact of switching from wipes that contain toxic chemicals to eco friendly wipes seems negligible, it's an measure toward developing a work environment that's safe for workers and the environment, as well a work environment that protects and positively impacts a companies finances. By reducing hazardous waste, companies can reduce their waste disposal fees, and by purging work areas of HAPs, they can help to prevent the development of chronic illnesses that typically result in lawsuits that damage both a company's finances and public reputation.

Yet another reason to make eco friendly wipes a part of your company's cleaning arsenal is to avoid the hassle of EPA regulations, which continue to prohibit toxic chemicals in commercial and industrial settings, and therefore the products that contain them. By switching to eco friendly cleaning products, companies reduce their emissions, which can lead to tradable emissions credits under cap and trade legislation.
