For heavy oil and grease wiping in engine rooms, Dark Color T‑Shirt Knit Rags are most commonly used – they hide stains, are economical, and have high oil affinity. When a cleaner appearance or stain visibility is required (e.g., for inspections or sanitary areas), White T‑Shirt Knit Rags (IMPA 232907) are preferred. For bilge cleaning and bulk oil absorption, Cotton Yarn Waste (white IMPA 232901 / color IMPA 232902) is the go‑to choice due to its loose fibrous structure that demonstrated up to 3× its weight in oil absorption during internal tests (results may vary). Many vessel operators stock both rags and yarn waste to cover routine maintenance and spill response.
Cotton yarn waste (IMPA 232901 white, IMPA 232902 color) is primarily used for bilge cleaning, oil absorption, heavy machinery maintenance, and spill response support in marine environments. Its loose, fibrous form can be stuffed into tight spaces (e.g., bilge wells, drip trays, under machinery) where sheet‑type rags cannot reach. Typical consumption on a bulk carrier or tanker is 300‑500 kg per year. Many shipyards and vessel maintenance teams in Singapore, Rotterdam, and Fujairah rely on cotton yarn waste for cost‑effective spill control.

Yes. EcoWipePro offers 100% metal‑detected batches for marine and industrial buyers, with each bale certified to have passed industrial metal detectors (sensitivity: Fe 0.5mm, non‑Fe 1.0mm). Our production line removes buttons, zippers, needles, and other metal fragments. While no product can be guaranteed completely safe under all conditions, metal‑detected rags and cotton waste reduce the risk of metal contamination in engine rooms. Follow standard shipboard safety procedures when using any wiping material.
We offer packaging tailored to different marine buyer profiles:
Custom packaging sizes and private labeling are available. Contact us for a quote.
Recycled cotton rags and yarn waste offer effective oil absorption (internal tests show up to 3× weight) and are reusable, reducing long‑term cost. Unlike polypropylene sorbents, cotton is biodegradable and made from post‑consumer textile waste – supporting ESG goals and reducing landfill. Many vessel operators in Europe and North America prefer cotton‑based wipers to align with MARPOL Annex V waste management guidelines. While upfront cost may be comparable to disposables, the cost per use is often lower because cotton rags can be laundered multiple times.
