Cleaning wipes are critical in maintaining particle-free, ESD-safe environments in Class 100 (ISO 5) cleanrooms. Proper usage ensures equipment protection and regulatory compliance.
Key Features:
-
Lint-Free and Non-Abrasive: Prevents fiber contamination and surface scratches.
-
Antistatic Properties: Minimizes electrostatic discharge (ESD) risks on sensitive electronics.
-
High Absorbency: Efficiently removes dust, oils, and residues.
-
Chemical Compatibility: Safe for use with IPA, deionized water, and approved disinfectants.
Usage Case Examples:
-
Electronics Assembly: Wipes used to clean PCBs, sensors, and microchips, preventing particle contamination.
-
Optical Instruments: Lenses and microscopes wiped to maintain clarity and accuracy.
-
Laboratory Equipment: Benches, glassware, and analytical devices cleaned to avoid cross-contamination.
-
Cleanroom Surfaces: Floors, counters, and instruments maintained in ISO Class 100 conditions.
Best Practices:
-
Unidirectional Wiping: Clean to dirty strokes to avoid particle redistribution.
-
Pre-Wetted Option: Use IPA or deionized water for faster, residue-free cleaning.
-
Single-Use Handling: Discard wipes after each task to maintain sterility.
-
Inspection: Ensure surfaces are residue-free and particle-free post-cleaning.
Benefits:
-
Maintains Cleanroom Standards: Keeps Class 100 environments particle-free.
-
Protects Sensitive Equipment: ESD-safe, lint-free wipes reduce contamination and damage.
-
Improves Cleaning Efficiency: High absorbency reduces time and effort.
-
Supports Regulatory Compliance: Aligns with ISO and GMP standards.
