Contec™ ReFIBE™ Wipes

Description

Contec™ ReFIBE™ Wipes are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, making them a sustainable single-use option for critical manufacturers in the Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Medical Device, and Semi-Conductor industries.

The revolutionary recycling process converts post-consumer plastic to 100% continuous filament polyester, the same substrate used in many of Contec™'s standard polyester wipes and mops.

As synthetic polyester, ReFIBE™ wipes are exceptionally clean and are compatible with a wide range of cleanroom solutions and disinfectants. Like Contec™'s standard polyester wipes, ReFIBE™ is laundered and packaged in an ISO 4 cleanroom. Low in releasable particles and fibers, ReFIBE™ wipes can be used in place of traditional polyester to incorporate sustainability without compromising quality or performance. Available in 9 x 9 in. and 12 x 12 in. sizes.

How is a wipe made from recycled materials?
