In short: Dry wipes and swabsticks carry no solution at all — the deliverable is a clean, consistent nonwoven. They are used to dry skin after wet prep, to apply a solution you dose yourself, and for lint-controlled wiping. Available as dry wipes and dry swabsticks in substrate weights tuned from soft to firm.

Why a dry format

Not every job needs a liquid. A dry wipe or swab dries skin after an alcohol or saline step, applies a solution you meter yourself, or wipes a surface without adding chemistry. With no liquid, the whole value is in the substrate: fibre blend, weight, softness and low lint. That makes substrate selection the spec — see our guide on nonwoven substrate selection.

Where dry pairs with wet

Dry formats often complete a two-step routine: prep with an alcohol wipe, then dry with a dry wipe; or clean with a purified-water wipe and dry after. A wet-plus-dry twin pack combines both steps in one sachet for convenience and dosing control.

OEM and consistency

Because there is no formulation to mask variation, batch-to-batch nonwoven consistency matters most. We run in-house lines with ISO 13485 batch control; size, weight, fold and packaging are made to your specification.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dry wipe used for?

Drying skin after wet prep, applying a solution you dose yourself, and lint-controlled wiping where an impregnated wipe is not wanted.

Is there any active or solution on it?

No — dry wipes and swabsticks are unimpregnated. The specification is the nonwoven itself: fibre, weight, softness and lint level.

Can you supply wet and dry together?

Yes — a wet-plus-dry twin pack pairs a saturated wipe with a dry wipe in one sachet for a clean-then-dry routine.

What substrate options are available?

From soft spunlace to firmer nonwovens, in a range of weights. We tune fibre and gsm to your comfort and strength targets.
