The Benefits of Using Tube Wipes in Automotive Paint Sealer Preparation

Achieving a flawless paint job in the automotive industry starts with proper surface preparation. Even the smallest amount of dust, debris, or residue can affect the quality of the finish. Contec’s CleanTube™ tubular wipes offer an innovative solution, bringing the cleanliness of cleanroom laundering to the demanding environments of automotive surface prep applications. All tube wipers are not created equal. Tube wipes have been a standard tool in the automotive industry for the past 30 years. As the leader in surface preparation products, Contec has designed a product that doesn’t cut corners for superior performance, improved paint quality, and a reduction in total process cost.

Here’s why CleanTube wipes are a must-have tool for automotive professionals:

1. Superior Cleaning Performance

Constructed from 100% traceably sourced polyester yarn, CleanTube™ wipes are designed to provide superior cleaning and pickup performance. Originally designed for removing excess sealant, these wipes excel for use in cleaning paint automation equipment.

2. Durability and Low-Lint Design

The durable polyester material and heat-cauterized edges of CleanTube wipes offer several benefits. Heat cauterized rolled edges reduce the risk of shedding fibers that could otherwise contaminate the surface. This low-lint design ensures that the surface remains free of debris, an essential factor in achieving a high-quality paint finish without imperfections.
