Kimberly-Clark Professional Introduces New Color and Convenient New Format for WYPALL® X80 Shop Towels


ROSWELL, Ga. (June 21, 2002) - WYPALL® X80, Kimberly-Clark Professional's strongest, most durable wiper, is now available in a new steel blue color and new format designed to control dispensing: the BRAG® Box.

The BRAG® Box provides the equivalent of 25 pounds of rags in a consistent, tidy package that's easy to manage and store in tool cribs. And WYPALL® X80 Shop Towels give users a wiper engineered to feel like cloth and work even better. This combination creates an ideal replacement for laundered rental shop towels and scrap rags.

The new Shop Towels come in a denim-like steel blue color, which helps to hide dirt and stains for long-lasting performance. According to Kimberly-Clark Professional Wiper Business Category Manager Andy Clement, "The denim-like color immediately identifies these WypAll® X80 Shop Towels as sturdy and cloth-like, which are two characteristics users prefer."

WYPALL® X80 Shop Towels are made using Kimberly-Clark's patented
HYDROKNIT® Fast Absorbing Material, which is manufactured using jets of water to bond soft, absorbent paper to extra-strong, non-woven fabric. The result is fast absorption, outstanding tear-resistance, and exceptionally high performance on any tough task.

In fact, WYPALL® X80 Shop Towels absorb oil and water faster, pound for pound, than laundered shop towels. They also maintain their strength in solvents as well as laundered shop towels. Moreover, unlike laundered shop towels, they contain no holes, strings, metal chips or residues.

WYPALL® X80 Shop Towels in the BRAG® Box are ideal for heavy-duty machine and parts wiping, wiping metal shavings, prepping surfaces with solvents and cleaning rough surfaces.

There are 160 WYPALL® X80 Shop Towels measuring 12.5" x 16.8" packaged in every BRAG® Box.

As with all Kimberly-Clark Professional products, WYPALL® X80 Shop Towels in the BRAG® Box come with Kimberly-Clark's "No Questions Asked" guarantee, which reimburses customers for up to $1,000 worth of free product if the initial product purchased does not meet expectations.
