Tack Cloth Staubfix – Professional Cleaning Cloths for Painting & Powder Coating

The tack cloth (also known in the trade as a "honey cloth") is the essential tool for the final finish before coating. In professional powder coating or painting, compressed air alone is often not enough to fully remove micro-fine particles. Staubfix reliably binds these residues into the fabric, preventing inclusions in the finished coating.

The cloths are made from a high-quality cellulose gauze fabric impregnated with a special, silicone-free substance. This causes dust and dry dirt to be attracted almost magnetically, without leaving any residue on the workpiece.

Key benefits at a glance:

  • Maximum dust pickup: The tack cloth captures even the finest particles instead of just stirring them up.
  • Silicone-free & safe: No risk of craters or adhesion issues in powder or wet coatings.
  • Long-lasting & easy to handle: The high-quality impregnation doesn't dry out – the cloth stays usable right down to the last square centimetre.
  • Industrial quality: Completely lint-free and extremely tear-resistant for tough workshop use.

Technical data:

  • Material: Specially impregnated cellulose gauze fabric.
  • Contents: 5 cloths per pack (individually removable).
  • Colour: Yellowish (classic tack cloth appearance).
  • Application: Final cleaning before powder coating, painting or e-coating (KTL).

When is a tack cloth essential?

Especially with high-gloss finishes, even the smallest specks of dust can cause visible defects. A quick wipe with the tack cloth immediately before coating eliminates this risk. For chemical pre-cleaning, we also recommend our cleaning products.

FAQ – Practical know-how:

What is a tack cloth?
It's a specialised cleaning cloth. Its tacky impregnation is designed to permanently trap particles that are missed during normal cleaning.

Which tack cloth is best for painting work?
For professional use, Staubfix tack cloths made from gauze fabric are superior, as they have a higher pickup capacity and don't generate static charge.

Which cloths are suitable for dusting before powder coating?
Only silicone-free tack cloths. Regular household cloths can leave residues that cause serious coating defects.

How to use:

Fully unfold the cloth and loosely scrunch it together. Wipe it over the already degreased surface without applying pressure. Important: Do not press firmly, as this could transfer the impregnation onto the metal. Once the cloth is saturated, replace it with a new one from the pack.
