How To Use Wipes
Wet wipes are a fast and convenient way to keep surfaces clean and sanitised. The different chemistries in our wipes enable them to kill viruses, bacteria and spores on hands and surfaces.

Chemical Formulation
Medipal Alcohol Disinfectant Wipes use isopropyl alcohol. Isopropanol is commonly used as a disinfectant and as an antiseptic. It has limited residual activity due to evaporation, which results in brief contact times unless the surface is submerged, and have a limited activity in the presence of organic material.
Alcohols are most effective when combined with purified water to facilitate diffusion through the cell membrane. A mixture of 70% isopropanol diluted in water is effective against a wide spectrum of bacteria.
Materials
Tritex material is made by bonding layers of spunbond and meltblown polypropylene fibres together in a high heat process before a hydrophilic coating is applied. This material is 100% synthetic.
The material offers high strength in both directions – across and along the wipe.
Very low linting – low risk of leaving contaminating fibres on surfaces.
Excellent solution retention – ensuring even wetness throughout the wipe.
Efficient solution release – active wipe ingredients are transferred to the surface rather than being trapped in the wipe material fibres.
