Cleanroom Wipes

What are cleanroom wipes?

Cleanroom wipes, also known as cleanroom wipers, are a unique type of low-lint or lint-free wipes, specifically designed for use in ISO 3+ certified cleanrooms. Their primary function is to facilitate general cleaning while ensuring the least possible particle contamination. These wipes are predominantly made from materials like polyester and cellulose, or sometimes from specially formulated blends of synthetic materials.

Notably, some cleanroom wipes also possess ESD-safe properties, making them an ideal choice for electronic and semiconductor manufacturing. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical, and biotechnology frequently utilize these wipes, particularly the sterile and pre-saturated varieties, due to their ability to maintain stringent cleanliness standards.

Regardless of the application, lint-free and low-linting wipes are suitable for general cleaning. Pre-saturated isopropyl alcohol wipes can make cleaning more convenient, but wipers may be compatible with other solvents, chemicals, or contaminants.

Common brands of cleanroom wipers include UniTek, TekniPure, Chemtronics, TexWipe, Kimberly Clark, Contec, and Berkshire.

What cleanroom wipe material is best?

The best material for cleanroom wipes largely depends on the specific requirements of your cleanroom environment, including its ISO classification (the level of cleanliness it must maintain), the tasks you'll be performing, and the cleaning or disinfecting agents you'll be using. Here's a brief overview of some commonly used cleanroom wipe materials:

Polyester is an ideal cleanroom wipe material because of its inherent low-linting qualities. Many cleanroom wipers with ultra-low NVR are made with polyester. Polyester offers durable resistance to harsh solvents and is suitable for cleaning tight spots and smooth surfaces.
Polyester/Cellulose Blends combine the strength and cleanliness of polyester with the absorbency of cellulose. They're generally more cost-effective than 100% polyester wipes and feature a hot-knife edge seal that minimizes the amount of lint released from the wipes during use.
Microfiber: Microfiber wipes are highly absorbent and offer excellent versatility for cleanrooms. These wipes can be used on various surfaces and are compatible with oily residue. Microfiber wipers can be found in border and ultrasonic edge seals.

What is a laser edge seal?

Laser-sealed edges are cut and sealed using a laser, which creates a sealed-border that prevents particle and fiber release. These wipers are generally suitable for Cleanroom Class 100-10,000 (ISO 5-7).

Ultrasonic Edge Seals use ultrasonic waves to melt and seal the wipe's edges. Ultrasonic edge seals also provide low particle release, similar to laser sealing. These wipers are often found in Cleanroom Class 10-100 (ISO 4-5).

Sealed border wipers offer the best performance and can be found in Cleanroom Class 1-10 (ISO 3-4).

What are lint-free cleanroom wipes?

Lint-free cleanroom wipes are specialized cleaning materials designed for use in controlled environments, requiring stringent regulation of fibrous materials to protect sensitive machinery and lab testing processes from potential harm. Unlike regular wipes, these wipes are made to minimize the shedding of lint during use.

Households generally are familiar with lint-free microfiber wipes used for general cleaning, but lint-free cleanroom wipes meet the strictest standards. Sealed border edge wipes are designed for optimum fiber and particle retention and undergo a rigorous washing process. The result is a wiper for applications requiring maximum particle and fiber retention.
