Description

TexWipe Absorbond 4" x 4" Hydro Entangled Polyester Wipers (TX404) are dry cleanroom wipers made from 100% polyester nonwoven material with a cut edge. These wipers are manufactured in a cleanroom environment, ensuring ultra-low levels of ions and non-volatile residues (NVRs), making them ideal for critical environments. The soft, non-abrasive construction of the wipers is perfect for cleaning scratch-sensitive surfaces such as optical devices and lenses.

Absorbond wipers offer high absorbency, making them effective for cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and other solvents. They are compatible with Quaternary Ammonium Compound disinfectants (QUATs) and are autoclave safe (dry wipe), providing additional versatility for high-compliance applications. With their consistent wetness and VOC levels, these wipers are perfect for ensuring repeatable and optimized cleaning performance in sensitive environments.

Key Features

  • 100% Polyester Nonwoven Material: Soft, non-abrasive material ideal for scratch-sensitive surfaces.
  • Cleanroom Compatibility: Designed for use in ISO Class 5 - 8 cleanrooms, ensuring high-performance cleaning.
  • High Absorbency: Excellent at absorbing isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and other solvents, ensuring effective cleaning.
  • Chemical Resistance: Compatible with a wide range of cleaning solutions, including Quaternary Ammonium Compound disinfectants (QUATs).
  • Autoclave Safe: Can be sterilized (dry wipe), making them suitable for high-compliance applications.
  • Low Particle & Residue Levels: Manufactured to ensure minimal particle release and low levels of NVRs for contamination-sensitive environments.
  • Packaging for Convenience: Packaged in reclosable bags to preserve the wiper’s effectiveness and reduce evaporation.

Applications

  • Wiping & Cleaning: Ideal for cleaning optical devices and other scratch-sensitive surfaces.
  • Residue Removal: Suitable for removing lubricants, adhesives, residues, and disinfectants.
  • Solvent Cleaning: Can be used with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), acetone, and other solvents for cleaning.
  • Device Handling: Can be used to clean gloves, notebooks, phones, and other items entering the cleanroom.
  • Tray Lining: Perfect for lining trays used to hold, protect, dry, and store parts, equipment, and devices.
  • Temperature Compatibility: Suitable for use in environments up to 400°F (205°C).

Benefits

  • Pre-Wetted for Convenience: Wipers are pre-wetted for immediate use, saving time and improving cleaning efficiency.
  • Low Contamination: Manufactured and packaged in cleanroom conditions to ensure ultra-low levels of ions and non-volatile residues (NVRs).
  • Reliable & Consistent Performance: Provides consistent, optimized cleaning efficiency with repeatable wetness and VOC levels.
  • Sustainable Wiper Solution: Offers a sustainable cleaning solution for environmentally-conscious facilities.
  • Packaging that Preserves Wetness: Packaged in reclosable bags to minimize evaporation and ensure consistent wetness for each use.

FAQs

What does hydro-entanglement mean for these wipers?

The fibers are bonded by water jets, creating a nonwoven material that is soft, non-abrasive, and highly absorbent.

Why are these produced in a 4" x 4" format?

The smaller size is ideal for precision tasks such as wiping optical devices, instrument tips, seals, and small components.

Are these compatible with quaternary ammonium disinfectants?

Yes, they are compatible with QUATs as well as IPA and acetone. Always follow recommended dwell times for disinfectants.

How do they compare to knit polyester wipes in terms of particles?

They meet ISO 5–8 standards with low particle and residue levels. Knit sealed-border wipes may provide lower edge shedding but are less soft for delicate surfaces.

How can streaking be avoided when cleaning lenses?

Use a moistened wiper for initial cleaning, followed by a fresh dry wiper for polishing. Replace frequently to avoid reapplying contaminants.
