Industrial Cleaning Cloths & Cotton Rags Saudi Arabia – RAFCO Brand by RAF Safety
RAFCO is RAF Safety’s own brand of industrial cleaning cloths and cotton rags, manufactured in Pakistan from 100% cotton and supplied to industrial facilities, oil and gas plants, printing companies, automotive workshops, and manufacturing operations across Saudi Arabia. RAFCO industrial rags are a high-volume consumable for any facility that uses oils, solvents, paints, or industrial lubricants – and RAF Safety’s direct manufacturing relationship ensures consistent quality, competitive wholesale pricing, and deep stock availability across our branches in Riyadh, Al Jubail, Jeddah, Dammam, and Abha.
RAFCO Cotton Rag Grades – White A+, Colour A, and Colour B
RAFCO industrial cleaning cloths are available in three quality grades to match different application requirements and budget parameters:
- White A+ Grade: Premium bleached white cotton rags made from new or near-new cotton fabric. Highest absorbency of the three grades, with no coloured threads that could contaminate surfaces or leave fibre residue. Used in precision cleaning applications, pharmaceutical environments, electronics manufacturing, and anywhere surface contamination from coloured fibres is unacceptable. Also preferred for food-adjacent industrial cleaning where regulators require documentation of rag composition.
- Colour A Grade: Mixed colour cotton rags made from first-quality cut-off fabric and reclaimed cotton materials. Excellent absorbency for general industrial cleaning – oil spill cleanup, machinery wiping, floor cleaning, and general maintenance. The standard RAFCO product for oil and gas plants, fabrication workshops, and construction sites across Saudi Arabia.
- Colour B Grade: Mixed colour rags from secondary-quality fabric sources. Suitable for heavy-duty cleaning where absorbency requirements are less demanding – bulk floor absorption, external machinery cleaning, and high-volume disposable applications where cost-per-unit is the primary factor.
Weight Specifications and Carton Packaging
RAFCO industrial cleaning cloths are sold by weight, not piece count – consistent with international industrial rag trading practice:
- Standard cartons: 10 kg, 25 kg, and 50 kg depending on grade and customer requirements
- Rags are compressed and baled within cartons for efficient storage and handling
- Average piece size: 30cm × 30cm to 50cm × 50cm (varies by grade due to fabric composition)
- Minimum order: 1 carton; bulk wholesale from 10 cartons with volume pricing
Uses of RAFCO Industrial Rags in Saudi Arabian Industry
- Oil and Gas: Equipment wiping, valve cleaning, spill absorption, flange face cleaning before bolt-up, and general maintenance in refineries, petrochemical plants, and upstream facilities across Al Jubail, Dammam, and Dhahran
- Manufacturing: Machine cleaning, die wiping, coolant absorption, part cleaning before inspection or painting
- Printing Industry: Ink cleanup, roller wiping, press cleaning – where absorbency and non-linting properties of RAFCO White A+ rags are particularly valued
- Automotive and Heavy Equipment: Engine cleaning, oil wiping, workshop floor maintenance
- Construction: Formwork cleaning, concrete surface preparation, adhesive application, and general site maintenance
Eco-Friendly vs Synthetic Alternatives
RAFCO 100% cotton rags offer advantages over synthetic cleaning alternatives (non-woven polypropylene wipes and similar products):
- Absorbency: Cotton is naturally more absorbent than most synthetic materials – absorbing up to 27 times its own weight in water. For oil and solvent cleanup, cotton outperforms polypropylene wipes in most applications.
- Biodegradability: 100% cotton rags decompose naturally. Synthetic cleaning wipes contribute to microplastic contamination and have longer environmental persistence – a growing concern for environmental compliance on Saudi Aramco and SABIC contractor sites.
- Cost: RAFCO cotton rags are significantly cheaper per kilogram than premium non-woven synthetic wipes for equivalent cleaning tasks, particularly in high-volume applications.
