ReFIBE Wipes, 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 standard polyester wipes and mops.

• Made from recycled plastic bottles, diverting waste from landfills
• 100% synthetic polyester construction is low in extractables and compatible with a wide variety of solvents

• Laser cut edge to be suitable for use in ISO 3 and higher environments

As synthetic polyester, they are exceptionally clean and are compatible with a wide range of cleanroom solutions and disinfectants. Low in releasable particles and fibers, they can be used in place of traditional polyester to incorporate sustainability without compromising quality or performance. Available in 9×9" and 12×12" sizes.
