PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wet wiper, which is free of problems of skin troubles when used for wiping a body, particularly for wiping a face or infants bottom, hardly leaves a residue after wiping on a hard surface such as a metal, plastics and coating films, and shows good wiping properties.SOLUTION: The wet wiper contains a compound expressed by a general formula (1) (for example, Pellicer(R)). In the formula: R1 represents a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 23C R2 represents hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 3C Y represents a carboxyl group, sulfonic acid group, sulfuric acid ester group, phosphoric acid ester group or their salts Z represents -NR- (R represents hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10C), -O- or -S- each of j and k represents any one of 0, 1 and 2, and j and k are not simultaneously 0 n represents an integer of 2 to 20 and X represents a hydrocarbon chain having a molecular weight of 1,000,000 or less.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】身体清拭、特に顔や乳幼児のお尻の清拭に用いた場合の肌荒れの問題がなく、且つ金属、プラスチックス、塗膜等の硬質表面の清拭後に拭き残りが生じにくく清拭性良好な湿潤ワイパーを提供すること。【解決手段】下記一般式(1)で示される化合物(例えば旭化成ケミカルズ社製ペリセア(登録商標))を含有することを特徴とする湿潤ワイパー。【化1】(上記一般式(1)において、R1は炭素数1~23の炭化水素基を示し、R2は水素又は炭素数1~3の炭化水素基を示し、Yはカルボキシル基、スルホン酸基、硫酸エステル基、リン酸エステル基又はそれらの塩を示し、Zは-NR-(Rは水素又は炭素数1~10の炭化水素基)、-O-、又は-S-を示し、j、kは0、1、2のいずれかであり、かつj、kは同時に0ではなく、nは2~20の整数を示す。Xは分子量100万以下の炭化水素鎖を示す。)【選択図】なし
