Professional Wiping Squares for Everyday Hygiene

Octolin Wiping Squares by HARTMANN are designed to meet cleaning and wiping needs in professional environments.

They provide a practical solution for professionals looking for absorbent, strong and skin-friendly wiping consumables.

In piercing and tattoo studios, using single-use wiping materials helps reduce the risks associated with reusing soiled textiles.

Octolin squares can be used for:

• Wiping the skin.

• Cleaning small, compatible surfaces.

• Wiping hands.

• Routine personal hygiene care.

• Absorbing moisture.

• Removing certain residues during cleaning procedures.

• Wiping during tattoo sessions, according to applicable protocols.

Their individual format makes them easy to handle and allows professionals to take only the quantity needed.

Made from Virgin Cellulose Fibres

Octolin wiping squares are manufactured using virgin cellulose fibres, known for their absorbent properties.

The HARTMANN technical data sheet for the 20 × 18 cm format specifies:

• Fibres: Virgin cellulose.

• Binder: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA).

• Structure: Non-woven.

• Presentation: S-folded squares.

• Basis weight: 55 g/m².

Cellulose contributes to liquid absorption, while the binder helps maintain the material's structural integrity.

This composition provides a flexible, resistant wiping material suitable for everyday handling.

High Absorbency

Octolin squares offer high absorbency, making them particularly useful for wiping procedures.

According to HARTMANN's technical documentation, their absorption capacity is approximately 7.8 g of liquid per gram of material.

This property facilitates:

• Water absorption.

• Liquid wiping.

• Drying intact skin.

• Removing moisture from certain surfaces.

• Wiping during routine hygiene procedures.

Thanks to their absorbency, Octolin squares provide a versatile consumable for professionals.

A Soft Texture for Greater Comfort

Octolin wiping squares are valued for their excellent softness.

Their non-woven structure provides comfortable contact with the skin and facilitates wiping procedures.

This characteristic is particularly useful in activities requiring repeated wiping.

They offer:

• Gentle wiping.

• Comfortable handling.

• Soft contact with intact skin.

• Suitability for routine hygiene care.

• Reduced excessive friction when used correctly.

During tattoo sessions, their softness can help improve client comfort during wiping procedures carried out according to the professional's hygiene protocol.

A Low-Lint Structure

Octolin squares feature a low-lint structure.

This characteristic helps minimise fibre deposits during wiping.

It offers several advantages:

• Reduces visible residues after use.

• Facilitates cleaning of small surfaces.

• Provides cleaner wiping.

• Limits lint deposits on treated areas.

• Improves comfort during hygiene procedures.

This property is particularly useful in professional environments requiring suitable wiping consumables.

Good Dry and Wet Strength

Octolin wiping squares are designed to maintain good strength during use.

Their structure allows handling both dry and after moistening.

According to the HARTMANN technical data sheet, their approximate tensile strength is:

Dry strength:

• Machine direction: 17 N/5 cm.

• Cross direction: 14 N/5 cm.

Wet strength:

• Machine direction: 10 N/5 cm.

• Cross direction: 7.5 N/5 cm.

This strength facilitates cleaning and wiping procedures, particularly when the squares are used with water or a compatible cleansing solution.

Despite their strength, these squares are intended for single use only.

Good Compatibility with Cleansing Solutions

Octolin squares maintain good structural integrity when used with certain liquid soaps.

They can therefore support cleaning procedures requiring a moistened wiping material.

Depending on the intended application and applicable protocols, they may be used with:

• Water.

• An appropriate cleansing solution.

• A compatible liquid soap.

• A cleaning solution suitable for the intended use.

In tattoo studios, they may also be used with an appropriate Green Soap, in accordance with the cleansing product manufacturer's recommendations and professional hygiene protocols.

Octolin squares do not contain any pre-applied cleaning, antiseptic or disinfectant solution.

A Convenient 20 × 18 cm Format

Each Octolin square measures 20 × 18 cm when unfolded.

This format is particularly suitable for precise wiping procedures.

It offers several advantages:

• Compact size: Easy to handle.

• Absorbent surface: Suitable for everyday needs.

• Precise wiping: Allows targeted application.

• Easy handling: Fits comfortably in the hand.

• Versatility: Suitable for different professional applications.

The dimensions specified by HARTMANN are:

• Unfolded dimensions: Approximately 200 × 180 mm.

• Folded dimensions: Approximately 100 × 90 mm.

The S-folded presentation facilitates storage and dispensing.

Suitable Thickness for Wiping

Octolin squares have a thickness of approximately 0.9 mm, according to the manufacturer's technical data sheet.

This characteristic contributes to their durability and absorbency.

Combined with their 55 g/m² basis weight, it provides a material that is:

• Flexible.

• Absorbent.

• Resistant.

• Easy to handle.

• Suitable for routine wiping procedures.

A Practical Solution for Tattoo Studios

In tattoo studios, wiping is a frequent part of tattoo sessions.

Octolin squares can be used to support certain wiping procedures.

They are particularly convenient for:

• Wiping away excess ink.

• Using a compatible cleansing solution.

• Absorbing liquids.

• Performing precise wiping.

• Minimising lint deposits.

• Facilitating cleaning procedures.

Their softness provides more comfortable wiping, particularly when repeated passes are required.

Use on freshly tattooed skin must comply with the applicable hygiene protocol and requirements for consumables used during the procedure.

A Suitable Solution for Piercing Studios

Octolin squares can also be used for various wiping needs in piercing studios.

They are particularly convenient for:

• Wiping hands.

• Drying intact skin.

• Cleaning small, compatible surfaces.

• Absorbing moisture.

• Routine hygiene procedures.

• General maintenance of workspaces.

Their compact format makes them easy to use near workstations.

For invasive procedures and care requiring sterile consumables, use products specifically designed for those applications.

Suitable for Cleaning Small Surfaces

In addition to personal hygiene wiping, Octolin squares can be used to clean small surfaces and certain furniture components.

They are particularly suitable for:

• Compatible washable surfaces.

• Small furniture areas.

• Certain routine cleaning procedures.

• Wiping away residues.

• Absorbing moisture.

They may be used with an appropriate cleaning product when necessary.

They have no inherent disinfectant activity and do not replace the disinfectant products required by the establishment's hygiene protocol.

A Latex-Free Composition

Octolin squares are manufactured without latex.

HARTMANN's technical documentation also specifies that they are free from:

• Latex.

• Phthalates.

• Rosin.

• Bisphenol A.

These characteristics are part of the product's specifications.

However, they do not eliminate the need to follow standard precautions or consider individual sensitivities.

Non-Sterile, Single-Use Wiping Squares

Octolin squares are supplied non-sterile.

They are intended for single use and must be discarded after use.

It is essential to distinguish their wiping function from that of sterile medical devices.

They must not be used as substitutes for:

• Sterile gauze pads.

• Wound care products requiring sterility.

• Sterile consumables intended for invasive procedures.

• Antiseptic products.

• Disinfectant products.

Each square must be used in accordance with applicable professional protocols.

A Pack of 100 Squares

Octolin squares are supplied in a pack containing 100 units.

This packaging is particularly convenient for professional environments requiring regular access to wiping consumables.

It allows professionals to:

• Keep 100 squares ready for use.

• Organise stock efficiently.

• Limit unnecessary handling.

• Take squares as needed.

• Simplify restocking.

• Keep unused squares in their packaging until use.

Packaging: 1 pack of 100 squares.
