Leviton Lint Free Dry Wipes (Pack of 100) 49886-DWP

Product Information

Specification

Lint-free dry wipes are cleaning cloths designed to not leave any residue, fibers, or lint when they are used. This feature is critical in various applications where cleanliness and precision are paramount.

About:

These wipes are engineered to have high absorbency for their weight and can be used with solvents, disinfectants, or water without falling apart or leaving residue.Often made from non-woven materials such as polyester, poly-cellulose blends, or microfiber, designed to minimize particle generation.

Common Applications:

• Cleanrooms: In environments where even a small amount of lint or dust can cause contamination or interfere with manufacturing processes, such as semiconductor fabrication or pharmaceutical production.

• Electronics Assembly: Used to clean circuit boards and other electronic components during manufacturing or repair to prevent contamination that could lead to short circuits or other failures.

• Laboratories: For cleaning and preparing surfaces that require sterility or absence of contaminants, such as in biological or chemical research labs.

• Medical Facilities: For cleaning and prepping surfaces for medical procedures or in manufacturing of medical devices where sterility and cleanliness are critical.

• Photography and Film: For cleaning camera lenses and other sensitive components.

Features:

• Material: IThey are usually made from synthetic polyester, cellulose, microfiber, or a blend of materials that do not break down easily or leave behind particles.

• Texture: Lint-free wipes may have a smooth texture for cleaning delicate surfaces without scratching, or they may have a slightly textured surface for better cleaning efficacy.

• Absorbency: Despite being lint-free, these wipes are generally highly absorbent, capable of cleaning up spills or absorbing solvents and other cleaning agents.

• Packaging: They are often packaged in sealed containers or bags to prevent contamination before use.

• Durability: They are strong and resistant to tearing or shredding, even when wet or used on rough surfaces.

Standards:

ISO Classifications: For cleanroom applications, wipes must comply with ISO 14644-1 standards, which classify cleanrooms based on the number of particles allowed per cubic meter of air. The wipes used in these environments are classified accordingly (e.g., ISO Class 3, ISO Class 4) to match the cleanroom's classification.

Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST): IEST provides recommended practices for cleanrooms, including the selection and use of wipes (IEST-RP-CC004 for evaluating wiping materials for cleanrooms and other controlled environments).

ASTM International: ASTM issues standards such as ASTM D7705/D7705M for lint contamination, and ASTM D6126 for evaluating the cleanability of wipes.

Specification:

• Packaging Type :100
• Type: Lint Free Dry Wipe

Construction:

Lint-free dry wipes are constructed to ensure that they do not leave any residue or particulate matter behind when used. This is critical in environments where cleanliness is paramount.A common material due to its strength, durability, and low linting properties. It does not break down or shed when saturated with cleaning agents.
