Cleanroom Supplies

Cleanroom Supplies is aimed at businesses working in controlled environments: semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, the optics industry and medical technology. The category is divided into three subcategories. Cleanroom Wipes contains a polyester cleanroom wipe, a sterile cleanroom wipe and a sterile disposable mop. For personnel there are two disposable hooded coveralls, in Tyvek and in microporous film. Sticky floor mats with 30 peel-off layers hold back particles at airlocks and entrances.

Unlike general cleaning, what matters here is not only whether something gets clean, but also what the consumable itself sheds in particles and fibres. That is why the product data states the cleanroom class each item is intended for – from ISO 5 for the wipes to ISO 5–8 for the microporous film coverall.

Typical applications

• Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing: wiping work surfaces and equipment in ISO 5 areas
• Pharmaceutical production: sterile wipes and mops for surfaces and floors
• Optics industry: low-particle cleaning of sensitive components
• Personnel airlocks: gowning up in coveralls and cleaning shoe soles on sticky mats
• ESD areas: antistatic clothing and mats

What to look for when buying

Start from your cleanroom class and check for each item whether the stated class matches it. The polyester wipes are specified for ISO 5 areas; the sterile mop is rated ISO 5–7 and the microporous film coverall ISO 5–8.

Next, establish whether you need sterile products. The gamma-sterilised cleanroom wipe and the disposable mop are sterile; the polyester wipe with laser-cut edges is double-bagged but not specified as sterile. For coveralls, material, size range and the protective documentation you need are decisive; for mats, it is the width of the airlock: 45 × 90 or 60 × 90 cm. It is best to request any documentation your quality system requires with your inquiry.
