In demanding automotive, industrial, food-processing and commercial environments, an ordinary cleaning cloth is often not enough. The right cloth can improve cleaning efficiency, reduce contamination, protect delicate surfaces and help businesses maintain consistently high production and hygiene standards.
APPT supplies a comprehensive range of high-performance cloths developed for specialised cleaning, wiping, surface preparation and polishing applications.
What Is a High-Performance Cloth?
A high-performance cloth is designed to deliver specific and consistent results in environments where cleanliness, durability and process control are essential. Depending on its intended application, it may provide superior absorbency, low-lint performance, solvent resistance, effective particle removal or exceptional strength.
Unlike conventional cloths, high-performance cloths are manufactured to minimise the risk of fibres, particles or other contaminants being left on a surface. This is particularly important in automotive paint shops, manufacturing facilities and other controlled production environments, where even a small amount of contamination can affect the quality of the finished product.
Automotive and Industrial Cloths
APPT is the sole African distributor of Chicopee and Contec Automotive wipes—two internationally respected brands known for their quality and performance.
The automotive and industrial range includes:
- Critical cleaning cloths for preparing surfaces before painting, coating or other finishing processes.
- Tack cloths designed to capture and remove fine dust and loose particles without damaging the surface.
- Solvent-resistant cloths for cleaning applications involving solvents and other chemicals.
- Polishing cloths that provide a soft, consistent finish without scratching sensitive surfaces.
- Low-lint and nonwoven wipes for controlled manufacturing and production environments.
- Presaturated Contec PROSAT® wipes containing isopropyl alcohol and deionised water for effective cleaning and greater process control.
These products are suitable for automotive manufacturing, panel beating, paint processing, aerospace production and a wide variety of industrial applications. APPT’s automotive ranges are specifically selected to meet the high standards required in modern production environments.
Microfibre Cloths
Microfibre cloths use extremely fine fibres to lift and retain dirt, grease, moisture and microscopic particles. They can clean many surfaces effectively with less water and fewer cleaning chemicals.
APPT offers soft, non-scratch microfibre cloths suitable for glass, stainless steel, mirrors, touchscreens, polished surfaces and general cleaning. Their strength, durability and ability to remove marks efficiently make them suitable for both specialised and everyday use.
Colour-Coded Hygiene Cloths
Through its Techniwipes range, APPT supplies high-quality, colour-coded nonwoven hygiene wipes for food manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, commercial cleaning and industrial facilities.
Colour coding allows different cloths to be allocated to specific rooms, surfaces or tasks. This helps prevent cross-contamination and makes it easier for businesses to implement and monitor their hygiene procedures.
The range includes:
- Techniroll Hygiene Wipes
- Techniwipe Hygiene Wipes
- Technilace and Technilace Wave Hygiene Wipes
- Technicloth Microfibre Wipes
These cloths offer different levels of strength, bulk, absorbency and wear resistance, allowing customers to select a product suited to their particular cleaning requirements. Many are low linting, easy to rinse and available in several colours. View APPT’s full product range.
Specialist Food-Service Cloths
APPT also supplies cloths designed for specialist food-service applications. These include coffee towels developed for cleaning professional coffee machines and steam wands. The towels are tested for direct food contact and heat resistance, helping cafés, restaurants and hospitality businesses maintain high standards of cleanliness and safety.

APPT combines a wide product range with the technical knowledge needed to recommend an effective solution. The company is trusted by major original equipment manufacturers and leading industrial businesses because of its extensive experience, specialist knowledge and commitment to consistent quality.
