Wipes designed for precision, consistency and critical cleaning tasks    

Surface prep usually calls for wipes that lint very little, absorb well and stand up to the solvents used during cleaning and preparation. Our Sontara® Aerospace Grade Wipe is engineered for exactly these demands: a high-strength fibre blend and snag resistance make light work of hard-to-reach crevices and metal parts, while its high absorbency and solvent resistance clear up spillages quickly, with fewer wipes. Tell us about your process and we’ll help you find the right fit.

Yes. Plenty of aerospace tasks need a wipe that holds up to solvents and cleaning chemicals while keeping its strength and performance throughout, and we can point you to the products built for exactly that. If there’s a specific chemical or solvent you’re working with, get in touch and we’ll advise on the best option.

It comes down to a few things working together: using purpose-designed low-lint wipes, making sure cleaning is done the same way every time, and matching the right product to each application. We’re happy to help you get all three right.

Without question. As a business that manufactured rags back in the 20th century, we know full well that nonwoven wipes are a significant upgrade, and plenty of aerospace businesses have made the switch to improve consistency, reduce contamination concerns and tidy up the workshop. Rags shed lint and snag on intricate parts, and they can hide zips, buttons or stray metal that scratch sensitive surfaces, the last thing you want around high-value equipment. There’s a clear waste benefit too: 200 rags weigh around 14.5kg, against about 2.5kg for the same number of wipes. And because wipes come on a roll or in dispenser boxes, they store and dispense neatly without cluttering the workshop.

We do, and we’d always encourage one. We’ll even come out and carry out a site survey first, so we understand your process properly before providing samples. From there, a trial lets your teams put the wipes to work in your own process before any purchasing decision, so you can see for yourselves how they perform. There’s no obligation to switch.

We supply through distributor partners and hold up to 12 weeks of stockholding alongside a 5 working day delivery guarantee on core products, so you can count on steady supply.

Of course. We regularly help aerospace manufacturers and MRO providers review what they’re using, and we’ll come to site to see how it’s being used in practice, spotting where you could improve performance, cut waste and lower cost-in-use.

Yes, both, along with repair facilities and aerospace supply chain businesses, across a wide range of cleaning and wiping applications.

Yes. We’ve helped aerospace businesses simplify their wiping, improve efficiency and bring down overall costs through product reviews and controlled trials. We recently saved one aerospace manufacturer £53,000 a year, for example.
