Kimberly-Clark Professional : What floorutions for hygiene, wiping and contamination control?

Kimberly-Clark Professional supports laboratories and controlled environments with hygiene, wiping and contamination control solutions engineered for critical operations. Under the Kimtech, Kimwipes, WypAll, Kleenex and Scott brands, the brand provides low-lint wipes, paper hand towels, soaps and paper-towel dispensers. Renowned for reliability and consistency, it helps R&D, QC and production teams make everyday tasks safer, work more efficiently and meet regulatory requirements.

Pioneering since 1872

Founded in 1872, Kimberly-Clark built its reputation on innovation in speciality papers and hygiene, before creating its B2B division, Kimberly-Clark Professional, dedicated to demanding work environments. Over the decades, the company has developed iconic brands — Kleenex, Scott, WypAll and, above all, Kimtech for laboratories and cleanrooms — underpinned by continuous R&D and rigorous manufacturing. With a global footprint and a European organisation close to end users, the brand combines personal safety, process protection and environmental responsibility. Its ambition remains unchanged: to deliver consumables and systems that are reliable, easy to deploy, and consistent from batch to batch, to support science every day.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

At the heart of the life sciences, Kimberly-Clark Professional designs consumables that cut the risk of contamination while streamlining everyday lab routines.

The delicate Kimwipes wipes deliver lint-free wiping of slides, objectives, cuvettes and pipettes; the technical WypAll range covers maintenance tasks, surface preparation and spill pick-up in prep and quality-control areas. In controlled environments, Kimtech garments, masks and mob caps – with low lint and an effective barrier – help protect both the operator and the process, with cleanroom-appropriate versions available.

For hand hygiene and shared spaces, Kleenex/Scott systems with dispensers provide controlled dispensing, fewer touchpoints and reduced consumption – a true “system” approach that standardises practices and improves compliance. The brand stands out for consistent batch-to-batch quality, clear documentation (technical data sheets, declarations of conformity, regulatory information) and wide availability via Dutscher.

On the CSR front, the use of fibres from responsibly managed forests (FSC or equivalent) and, depending on the product, the EU Ecolabel on hygiene papers help reduce the environmental footprint. The result: reliable, consistent, easy-to-integrate solutions for R&D, quality control and production in pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food & drink.
