Wypall Products

L10

The Wypall L10 is used as a single use paper towel and can be discarded after the first and only use in an ordinary trash receptacle. It is a utility wipe to clean various spills ranging from an oil spill to water or juice.

L20

The Wypall L20 is more durable and made for more heavy duty jobs than the L10 while still remaining in the ‘Single Use’ category of paper towels. It comes in more widely varying containers than does the L10 because it is suited for a much wider variety of jobs. The L20 is double ply with one side textured for cleaning power. It has no binder or glues which allow for a wide range of cleanup capability without having to worry about reactions or stains coming from the Wypall itself. The L20 lends itself for easy multi layering to allow for even the heaviest of spills to be cleaned both excellently and quickly. One feature found in the L20 are absorbency pockets for absorbing water faster.

L30

The L30 is a light weight General Purpose wiper that boasts of a cloth-like feel while still being disposable. It is strong enough to clean messes commonly found in auto shops and garages. It is useful in scrubbing and will not easily tear under stress.

L40

The KC Company claims the L40 has set the standard for general wiping for 25 years. It is highly absorbent and tough enough for scrubbing, yet soft enough to use to wipe the hands and face.

X50

The X50 is the lowest number product to use the Hydroknit technology produced by Kimberly-Clark. These heavy duty wipers are made to out perform rags. There are no glues or bonding materials used to bind the polypropylene and pulp layers to create the soft, yet tough, wiper. The lack of glues allow for no residue when wiping and does not interfere with any solvents used in conjunction with the wiper. According to the KC Company, the wipers can handle tough jobs and still provide soft wiping for the hands and face. It is commonly used as a patient washcloth in hospitals.

X60

The X60, very similar to the X50, also uses Hydroknit technology and therefore has the same lack of residue and uninterfering capabilities with standard sovents. This line, both soft and tough, is made for general wiping and cleaning, and is designed to replace lightweight rags. The X60 is available in a wider variety of packaging.

X70

The X70 moves the Wypall line into "Rag Replacement System" and is known as manufactured rags as opposed to wipers. The X70 is said to clean oil, solvent, and with ease and that it is capable of handling heavy duty jobs normally taken care of with cloth rags. The X70 is made to reduce consumption in the work space and to provide an economic alternative to scrap rags and shop towels.

X80

Containing the "Supercharged" technology gives the X80 the power to handle the toughest job. The X80 line are known as towels as their absorbancy is so great. It utilizes the Hydroknit technology as the entire X line and shares the lack of glues enabling use with all solvents and leaving no residue. KCP claims that the X80 Towel is excellent for prepping surfaces with solvents and cleaning metal shavings and rough surfaces, and that it can be used to replace heavy rags or laundered shop towels.
