Series 417

Polyester wipe

Back to our polyester wipes

Series 417, a 100% polyester wipe knitted from continuous filaments, is – like series 415 – one of the classic cleanroom cleaning wipes for more critical areas, both in microbiological controlled and in only particulate monitored zones. After cutting (laser-cut edges), the wipes are professionally decontaminated in a cleanroom laundry and packaged under ISO 4 conditions (EN ISO 14644-1). Even though they are made of 100% polyester, the wipes have a decent absorption capacity. The robust polyester knitted fabric shows its strength on rougher surfaces or with sharp-edged objects/surfaces. Due to the cleanroom-compatible decontamination, the wipes have relatively low levels of ionic and metallic contaminants. In addition, there is a low load of non-volatile residues (NVR) and good chemical resistance.

The wipes of the Series 417 are somewhat lighter and therefore cheaper than those of the Series 415.

Polyester

Series 417

Knit, 100% PES, 125 g/m², laser sealed edges

-

Properties

  • 100% polyester
  • knitted fabric made from microfibres
  • edges cut and sealed by laser
  • low particle and fibre emission
  • abrasion resistant
  • decontaminated in a cleanroom laundry
  • double bag packed in a cleanroom (air cleanliness class ISO 4)

Advantages

  • robust wipe, slightly lighter than series 415
  • reduced particle and fibre emission due to the sealed edges
  • very wide range of applications
  • low ionic and metallic impurities 
  • validated sterile available


Applications

  • cleaning wipe for critical and non-critical areas
  • well suited for angular, rough surfaces and objects that might prematurely damage a non-woven fabric wipe

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.

Note

The manufacturer's technical data listed above are typical values at the time of publication. They are not specifications. All data are without guarantee, changes are possible without prior notice.
Due to different test methods depending on the respective manufacturers and test laboratories, most of the given values cannot be compared one-to-one with those of other manufacturers/wipes.
Independent tests can be commissioned on request.
