The number of cleanroom wipe layers used during alcohol abrasion testing is crucial for obtaining accurate results and protecting the tested surface. The right number of layers simulates real-world wiping friction while preventing damage.
Why Use Cleanroom Wipes for Alcohol Abrasion Testing?
Cleanroom wipes are low-lint, fiber-free, and soft, making them ideal for abrasion testing with alcohol to avoid contamination during the process.
How Many Layers of Cleanroom Wipes Are Recommended?
-
Typically, 2 to 3 layers of cleanroom wipes are used stacked together.
-
Multiple layers increase friction area and uniformity, improving test consistency.
-
Too many layers may distort friction force; too few may cause excessive wear.
Testing Tips
-
Use high-density, low-lint cleanroom wipes that meet standards.
-
Stack layers evenly without wrinkles.
-
Ensure consistent alcohol concentration and saturation.
-
Control wiping pressure and speed to maintain test accuracy.
