The textile Light-Tech SW is mainly used for the production of so-called cleanroom-suitable intermediate garments (undergarments).
The low mass per unit area combined with an extremely pleasant feel (silk-like) are the special features of this fabric. Due to the use of conductive fibres in the warp direction, the Light-Tech SW fabric also has antistatic properties.
The antimicrobial finish reduces possible germ growth as well as the often associated odour formation already under the cleanroom outerwear.

The evaluation of the textile properties listed here is primarily based on empirical values and only partly on real measured values.
Product recommendation based on cleanroom classes
Cleanroom suitable undergarments made of Light-Tech SW can be worn in any cleanroom class area.
Various studies have shown that the use of a suitable cleanroom-suitable intermediate garment can reduce both the microbiological contamination and the number of possible particulate impurities by 50% and more.

(1) Manufacturer information
The above information is the result of tests carried out by the supplier to the best of his knowledge.
They are not specifications but typical values at the time of publication.
All information is without guarantee and changes are also possible without prior notice.
Due to different testing methods depending on the respective manufacturers and testing institutes, most of the values indicated cannot be compared one-to-one with those of other cleanroom fabrics.
Synthetic fabrics can shrink up to 3% during the decontamination process.
