Our rags and cotton yarn waste are 100% metal‑detected and contain no synthetic fibers that could generate static sparks. They are designed to support ATEX/IECEx guidelines for Zone 2 hazardous areas. For specific compliance requirements, please consult your safety officer.
Our hand‑sorted white cotton yarn waste (IMPA 232901) typically absorbs 2.8–3.2 times its own weight in motor oil (30‑weight, room temperature). For heavier crude or diesel, the ratio is around 2.0–2.5x. These figures are based on internal laboratory tests.
We supply IMPA 232901 (white hand‑sorted cotton waste) and 232902 (colored machine‑sorted). For rags, IMPA 232907 (white T‑shirt), 232908 (light color), and 232909 (dark color) are also available. These codes follow IMPA specifications. A full spec sheet is available on request.
