UltraSOLV Hand w/wiper


UltraSOLV®
Wipers and Sponges

Description

UltraSOLV® is a highly absorbent, Class 10 Wiper constructed from a naturally reticulated, hydrophilic, polyurethane foam. Using Foamtec's patented cleaning process and foam technology, UltraSOLV® Wipers are ideal for cleaning critical tools and assemblies. Available as a sponge for use with UltraSOLV® ScrubPADs on wet cleans.

Advantages
foamtec The unique abrasion resistance and conformable characteristics of UltraSOLV® allow it to clean rough, coarse and bead blasted surfaces that will snag traditional polyester wipers.
foamtec Low levels of particle generation, ionics, organics, lot-to-lot consistency and fiber free construction combined with unsurpassed contamination removal properties make it the ideal tool for the cleaning of critical process equipment.
foamtec Sponge-like absorbency and rinsing characteristics offer the opportunity to significantly reduce wiper usage and hazardous waste generation in equipment PM's.
foamtec Excellent static dissipative and tribocharging properties allow for safe cleaning of static sensitive assemblies, such as wafer transfer chambers in vacuum tools.

Applications

Performing wet cleans and PMs on vacuum based process equipment in the Semiconductor, Disk Drive and Flat Panel Display industries.

Methods of Use
To maximize usage of Wiper:
a) Use with IPA Solvent: Apply a thin stripe of IPA, using a needle-nosed squeeze bottle, to the area just behind the rounded fold. Do not over wet Wiper.
b) Use with DI Water: Fully saturate by applying a quarter-sized amount of DI Water to the center of an unfolded Wiper, wring to ensure proper absorption, repeat until completely wetted.

UltraSOLV wiper wet down w/DI Water folded by hand UltraSOLV wipe w/hand cleaning surface
Step 1: Quarter-fold Wiper after wetting with DI Water. For use with IPA, quarter-fold prior to wetting.
Step 2: With all four fingers on top and the thumb on the underside of the Wiper, pull it across the surface of the tool using very light pressure.
