Medipal Disinfectant Wipes use a high specification combination chemistry, effectively blending two disinfectant compounds, DDAC and Triamine, to produce a highly efficacious, broad spectrum, alcohol free disinfectant.
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.
