Wipes Impermeable to Strong Solvents

Bio-Hazard wipes from Current Technologies feature a white absorbent side and bright orange plastic backing to prevent leakage of blood, fluids and chemicals to hands, gloves and countertops. Since the liquids are trapped inside the absorbent side with no leakage, the wipes prevent the subsequent transmission of microbes or chemicals from gloves to phones, keyboards and pens. The orange polyethylene backing is impermeable to strong solvents, including xylene and xylene substitutes, acetone, ketones, alcohols and formalin. Cost effective, only one wipe is used instead of several pieces of gauze or tissues, and thus gloves are changed less frequently. Wipes are suggested for use in NCCLS guidelines as an adjunct to gloves in protecting employees and limiting cross-contamination. The white absorbent side is available in three thicknesses: standard, heavy, and super and in multiple sizes: 3'' x 3'', 4'' x 4'', and 8'' x 9''. Pre-cut benchliners are also manufactured in 11'' x 16'' or 16'' x 16'' and in 100' rolls.
