The Chicopee 0413 Masslinn Stretch'n Dust Cloth is made of a disposable, stretchable, nonwoven polyester/rayon blend, treated with mineral oil to increase dust retention, and used for removal of dust from smooth surfaces. This material is low in lint, making it suitable for use on smooth, shiny surfaces. This dusting wipe is UL certified, in the floor-treatment materials category, sweeping compounds (FTM-6) class, to not create a slippery surface or heat spontaneously. This yellow and orange dusting wipe measures 12.6" x 17", and comes in a case of 10 boxes containing 40 wipes each.
Dust cloths have traditionally been made of cotton, and used with an oil- or water-based treatment to improve dust retention. Microfiber dust cloths are made from extremely thin synthetic fibers that are more absorbent than cotton, non-abrasive, lint-free, and generate an electrostatic charge that attracts and retains dust to reduce the need for treatment. Dust cloths are sometimes attached to the frame of a dust mop or hand tool to extend their reach.
Polymer Group manufactures engineered nonwoven materials under the brands Chicopee and MediSoft, among others. The company, founded in 1992, is headquartered in Charlotte, NC.
