Foamtec’s Cleanroom Foam Wipes & Wipers

In critical manufacturing, such as medical device production, particle contamination control is paramount. While the industry standard for measuring wiper cleanliness relies on liquid particle counting, this method must accurately assess the wiper’s performance under real-world conditions. Abrasion stresses experienced during typical wiping processes cause traditional wipers to shed fibers and particles, particularly those exceeding 10 microns, which are readily visible and often lead to product rejects, rework, and CAPA investigations.

Foamtec’s foam wipers address this critical challenge by combining exceptional particle capture capabilities with unmatched durability.

Foamtec Foam Wipers: The Superior Solution

Foamtec’s innovative cleanroom foam wipers are revolutionary in combating particle contamination > 20 microns. Unlike traditional nonwoven or knitted wipers that shed fibers, Foamtec’s wipes are constructed from a unique, cross-linked polyurethane material. This eliminates fiber shedding virtually altogether, significantly reducing particle contamination exceeding 20 microns during wiping.
