Series 410-AF, a 100% polyester double-layer knit wipe, is one of the most efficient cleanroom cleaning wipes for critical areas in both microbiological controlled and particulate controlled zones. The wipes are ultrasonically cut, which seals the edges of the wipes. After cutting, the wipes are professionally decontaminated and packaged in a cleanroom laundry. Even though they are made of polyester, the double-layered wipes have a very good absorption capacity. On the other hand, the liquid stored in the wipe can be evenly released back onto a surface when needed, which is why the series 410-AF is particularly popular in pharmaceutical areas (in conjunction with disinfectants). The robust polyester knitted fabric shows its strength on rougher surfaces or with sharp-edged objects and/or surfaces. Due to the cleanroom-compatible decontamination, the wipes have relatively low levels of ionic and metallic contamination.
The series 410-AF is also avaible in a gamma-irradiated version.
Facts
Polyester
Knit, 100% PES filaments, double layer, ultrasonic-sealed edges
Properties
- 100% polyester
- two-ply interlock fabric made of filaments, ultrasonically welded and quilted
- ultrasonically cut and sealed edges
- very low particle and fibre emission
- decontaminated in a cleanroom laundry
- double bag packed in a cleanroom (air cleanliness class ISO 4)
Advantages
- particularly absorbent due to the double knit construction
- reduced particle and fibre emission due to sealed edges
- wide range of applications, especially in the field of surface disinfection
- properties like series 410 and besides slightly cheaper
Applications
- cleaning wipe especially for critical areas
- cleaning wipe for areas where high absorbency and purity are required
- well suited for angular, rough surfaces and objects which might prematurely damage a non-woven fabric wipe
Product recommendation based on cleanroom classes
Of course, cleanroom wipes used in ISO 5 can also be used in ISO 9, but in this case the economic efficiency and usefulness should be considered.
A 1 to 1 allocation of cleanroom wipes to an air cleanliness class according to ISO 14644-1 is not possible. Recommendations can only be made on the basis of special properties relevant from a cleanroom technical point of view, such as "abrasion resistance" or "particle emission". Users can find further information on this in VDI Guideline 2083 Part 9.2.
