Are you already buying WYPALL X60, X70, or X80 for your shop floor or plant? Then you know they work well – but you also know they’re not cheap.

Here’s the thing: our spunlace nonwoven wipes (WIPEXPERT) do the same jobs, with the same feel and durability. We’ve run the numbers on GSM, water and oil pickup, wet/dry tensile strength, and thickness and we match up to each X-series grade, point for point.

This isn’t a “me too” product. We designed WIPEXPERT Series as a direct drop-in replacement, so you don’t have to change your workflow or retrain your team. Just change your supplier.

Below is a no-nonsense comparison of the key metrics. No fluff, just data – You can make your own judgment as to whether it is worth paying an extra fee for the Kimberly-Clark brand.



Understanding the WYPALL X-Series

WYPALL X60, X70, and X80 wipes are all manufactured with Kimberly-Clark’s patented HYDROKNIT® technology, which combines soft, absorbent paper fibers with durable polypropylene nonwoven fibers. The three products are designed for different duty levels-:

Product

Duty Level

Primary Applications

WYPALL X60

Light to medium duty

General cleaning, surface wiping, light spills

WYPALL X70

Medium duty

Fluid and oil absorption, general industrial wiping

WYPALL X80

Heavy duty

Grease, swarf removal, rough surface cleaning

WIPEX spunlace nonwoven wipes (WIPEXPERT) are engineered to deliver comparable performance across all three categories, making them a cost-effective alternative without compromising quality.

Technical Specifications Comparison

1. GSM (Basis Weight / Fabric Thickness)

GSM (grams per square meter) is a fundamental measure of fabric density and directly impacts durability, absorbency, and overall feel.

Product

GSM

Product

GSM

WYPALL X60

68 g/m²

WIPEXPERT 60

~65 g/m²

WYPALL X70

77 g/m²

WIPEXPERT 70

~75 g/m²

WYPALL X80

125 g/m²

WIPEXPERT 80

~120 g/m²

Analysis: The GSM values vary significantly across the WYPALL range—X80 is nearly twice as heavy as X60. WIPEXPERT offers spunlace nonwoven wipes with GSM options that match each of these tiers, ensuring you get the right fabric weight for your specific application without overpaying.

2. Absorbency

Absorbency is critical for cleaning efficiency. Here is how WYPALL products perform:

Product

Water Absorbency Capacity (g/g)

Product

Water Absorbency Capacity (g/g)

WYPALL X60

5.7

WIPEXPERT 60

6.23

WYPALL X70

5.1

WIPEXPERT 70

6.1

WYPALL X80

4.1

WIPEXPERT 80

6.07

Analysis: WYPALL X60 absorbs 5.7 g/g of water, with a water absorption rate of under 1 second. WIPEX spunlace nonwoven wipes are engineered with advanced hydro-entanglement technology that delivers higher absorbency rates, ensuring that spills are picked up quickly and efficiently—whether water, oil, or solvents.

3. Strength (Tensile Strength)

Tensile strength determines how well a wipe holds up during rigorous wiping tasks without tearing or falling apart.

WYPALL X70

44.9

WIPEXPERT 70

64.2

WYPALL X80

93.4

WIPEXPERT 80

132

Analysis: WYPALL X60 demonstrates impressive tensile strength—42.5N dry. The WYPALL X80 is specially designed for demanding heavy-duty cleaning requirements, featuring excellent strength and durability. The WIPEXPERT wipes have better tensile strength to them, ensuring consistent performance even under the most rigorous wiping conditions (whether wet or dry).

4. Thickness

Thickness affects the bulk, hand-feel, and overall cleaning performance of a wipe.

WYPALL X80

0.52

WIPEXPERT 80

0.533

Analysis: WYPALL X60 has a thickness of 0.35 mm per sheet. WIPEX spunlace nonwoven wipes are available with thickness specifications that directly match these benchmarks, giving you the same bulk and hand-feel you are accustomed to.



Material Composition Comparison

All WYPALL X-series wipes are made from HYDROKNIT® material—a blend of cellulose fibers and synthetic polypropylene fibers:

Product

Content

Product

Content

WYPALL X60

83% Cellulose + 17% Polypropylene

WIPEXPERT 60

80% Cellulose + 20% Polypropylene

WYPALL X70

87% Cellulose + 13% Polypropylene

WIPEXPERT 70

79% Cellulose + 21% Polypropylene

WYPALL X80

81% Cellulose + 19% Polypropylene

WIPEXPERT 80

82% Cellulose + 18% Polypropylene

 

WIPEX spunlace nonwoven wipes utilize a similar hydro-entangled fiber blend, combining the absorbency of natural cellulose fibers with the strength and durability of synthetic fibers. This ensures:

*Fast water absorption from the cellulose component

*Excellent oil and grease pickup from the synthetic fibers

*Tear resistance in both wet and dry conditions

*Low-lint performance for clean surface results



Why Choose WIPEX as Your WYPALL Alternative?
