Corwipe® 300 & 500 Anti Static Wipes – revolutionary patented heavy duty cleaner degreaser wipes that are designed to clean, protect and maintain sensitive metal part surface
Corwipe® Anti Static Wipes are a revolutionary anti static design designed to remove oil & grease as well as light rust.
Corwipe® anti static wipes (US Patent ~5,854,145) are designed to give surfaces both a thin protective anti static and VpCI (vapour phase corrosion inhibitor) film layer. This static dissipative film drains the charge when grounded. Triboelectric voltage is reduced to less than 300 volts.
They are designed for use in both industrial and commercial environments being an effective cleaner when used on machinery, equipment, tools, productions lines and electronics. The Corwipe design is non-hazardous containing an ‘active’ water based solution that is non toxic and safe for skin.
These wipes show both cleaner degreaser and anti static properties. The thin film of VpCI corrosion inhibitors leaves treated metal surfaces with outstanding corrosion protection.
Corwipe 300 & Corwipe 500 Anti Static Wipes
These wipes are available in two sizes. Either the smaller Corwipe 300 (72 wipes per container) or the larger Corwipe 500 (25 wipes per container) .
Produced from an ultra robust non-woven fabric towel these wipes are hard wearing and difficult to rip even.

Frequently Asked Questions
• What are Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes and why are they a game-changer for cleaning and protection?
Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes are revolutionary, patented wipes that go far beyond just cleaning. They're heavy-duty cleaner-degreaser wipes engineered to clean, protect, and maintain sensitive metal surfaces by simultaneously removing light rust, grease, oil, and dust, while also leaving behind a protective anti-static and thin VpCI® (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) film. This multi-action capability truly sets them apart as a comprehensive solution for various industrial and commercial needs.
• How do Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes achieve both cleaning and anti-static properties?
These innovative wipes are infused with an "active" water-based solution that is specifically formulated to act as a powerful cleaner and degreaser. Simultaneously, their patented design incorporates anti-static elements that create a static dissipative film on the cleaned surface. This film effectively drains static charges when grounded, significantly reducing triboelectric voltage and preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which is incredibly important for sensitive electronics.
• What's the unique technology behind the corrosion inhibition provided by Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes?
The magic lies in Cortec's proprietary VpCI® (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) technology. As you wipe, a thin, indiscernible film of VpCI corrosion inhibitors is left on the metal surface. These inhibitors then vaporize and form a protective molecular layer on all exposed metal surfaces, even in hard-to-reach areas, actively preventing rust and other forms of corrosion.
• Are Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes safe for various materials, including sensitive electronics?
Yes, absolutely! Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes are designed to be non-hazardous and safe for skin contact, containing an active water-based material. Crucially, they are also safe for cleaning a wide array of materials including most metals, rubber, synthetic materials, vinyl, painted surfaces, plexiglass, and glass, making them particularly ideal for delicate electronics like PCBs, terminal blocks, communications equipment, and data storage devices.
• What sizes are Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes available in?
Valdamark Direct offers Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes in two convenient sizes: the smaller CorWipe® 300, which comes with 72 wipes per container, and the larger CorWipe® 500, containing 25 wipes per container. This allows users to choose the pack size that best suits their specific cleaning and protection needs.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
• What's the simplest way to use a Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipe effectively?
Using a Cortec CorWipe is incredibly straightforward. Simply lift the tab on the container, remove a single wipe, and then gently rub it over the part or area you need to clean. Continue wiping until the surface is clean and the desired anti-static and protective film is applied. Remember to reseal the container tightly after use to keep the remaining wipes fresh.
• Can one Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipe be used for multiple cleaning tasks?
Depending on the level of contamination, a single Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipe can often be effective for more than one use. For light cleaning or touch-ups, you might find one wipe goes a long way, but for heavier grime or rust, you may need a fresh wipe.
• Do I need to wear gloves when using Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes?
While Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes are classified as non-hazardous and are not harmful to skin, wearing gloves is always a good practice, especially in industrial settings or if you have sensitive skin, just to ensure general cleanliness and best practices.
• How long does the anti-corrosion protection from Cortec CorWipe Anti-Static Wipes last after application?
