Selecting the Correct Cleanroom Wipe

Cleanroom wipes are a low lint cloth used in a cleanroom or controlled environment to wipe away surface contamination and spills. Common cleanroom contaminates would be solid particles, bio-contaminants, and liquids. Different types of cleanroom wipe materials have been developed to offer absorbency, cleanliness, abrasion resistance, and resistance to chemicals. Texas Technologies has multiple options including, but not limited to: poly heatseal enhanced sorbency wipes, polywipe-c heatseal, quiltec, anticon wipes, and sterile knitted polyester wipes.

Poly Heatseal Enhanced Sorbency Wipes

The Polynit Heatseal Wipe is constructed of 100% textured knitted polyester. The wipe is laser-cut, which seals the edges of the fabric. The result is a very clean wipe, with a nonabrasive edge that allows complete utilization of the wipe’s surface. Suitable for all ultra-critical applications, the fabric has also been specially processed to provide excellent sorbency while maintaining extremely low levels of particles, fibers, and residue.

Features and Benefits:

  • 100% Textured polyester knit wipe
  • An ISO Class 4 compatible wipe with sealed edges.
  • Abrasion and chemical resistant
  • Good sorbency with solvents
  • Extremely low in particles and fibers.
  • Available in bulk or stacked packaging.

*Use MicroGenesis(tm) Floor Pads with MicroGenesis(tm) Hygienic Backer Plate and appropriate hardware

Applications: Ideal for general purpose cleaning
