I have these lying around in my office. It's Uvex S-462 Lens Cleaning Tissue.
It is formulated to clean safety goggles (industrial grade)
Can I use this to clean my lenses and/or camera bodies?
Here's the link:

Nothing chemically nasty, just butoxyethanol which is very common in lens cleaners. But the actual tissue may be slightly abrasive - not something that's going to worry goggle-wearers (because, in my experience, they get abused quite a bit anyhow) but it might not play nicely with the lens coatings. Personally, I'd stick with micro-fibre or specifically-designed tissues.

Thanks a lot, Frank.
What if I 'pass it on' the lens surface, just to get the cleaning fluid to the lens, then I'll wipe it with micro fiber or lenspen?

I don't know how fast it evaporates, but a portion of the butoxyethanol may get transferred to the microfiber cloth in this fashion. This could be a non issue - but just something to be aware of.
