Cleanroom Wipes

Cleanroom wipes are intended for surfaces and floors in controlled environments where ordinary wipes would shed too many fibres and particles. There are three items to choose from: a wipe in 100 % polyester double-knit with laser-cut edges, a sterile, gamma-sterilised polyester cleanroom wipe, and a sterile disposable mop in polyester/cellulose for cleanroom floors.

Both wipes measure 23 × 23 cm and are specified for ISO class 5 environments. The mop is rated ISO 5–7 and, according to its description, fits common mop systems. Typical users are the semiconductor industry, pharmaceuticals and optics.

Typical applications

• Wiping benches and equipment in ISO 5 areas
• Cleaning critical components with solvents
• Sterile areas in pharmaceutical production
• Cleaning cleanroom floors with the sterile disposable mop

What to look for when buying

The key question is whether a sterile product is required. The polyester double-knit wipe is double-bagged and, according to the product data, offers low ionic contamination and excellent solvent resistance, but it is not specified as sterile. The sterile wipe is gamma-sterilised and also double-bagged.

Pay attention to pack sizes as well: 150 wipes per bag for the double-knit wipe with a minimum of 300 pieces, 100 wipes for the sterile wipe with a minimum of 100 pieces, and 10 mops per bag. With the mop, check in advance that it fits your handle, and request a sample if needed.
