Quick Answer: How to Select a Cleanroom Wiper
Quick answercleanroom wipers are divided into non-woven fabrics and knitted polyester fabrics according to their materials: non-woven fabrics are generally used for wiping production lines; for cleanrooms with higher cleanliness levels, knitted fabrics and edge-sealing treatments are selected to produce lower dust emissions. There are three key things to look at: cleanliness level, liquid absorption requirements, and dust generation amount.

The difference between a cleanroom wiper and a regular wiper is that it cannot shed lint on its own: a regular cotton cloth will drop a large amount of fibers and particles when wiping, which in a cleanroom means contamination while wiping. The cleanroom wiper is made of low-dust-generating materials, cut and packaged in a clean environment, and is disposable.
Material and grade comparison
| Material | Features | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Nonwoven fabric (cellulose/polyester blend) | Fast liquid absorption, low cost, medium dust generation | General production line wiping, equipment cleaning, solvent wiping |
| Knitted polyester fabric | High strength, low dust generation; laser edge-sealing version does not lose thread on the edge | Cleanroom with higher cleanliness level |
| microfiber cloth | The strongest wiping power, capable of taking away tiny particles | Optics, precision surfaces |
| Cleanroom paper | Paper base with low dust emission, suitable for writing and matting materials | Cleanroom records, padding |
How to read "grade": Supplier labels are mostly presented with the applicable cleanroom grade (such as ISO 14644 classification) and dust emission test data; for the same material,Edge sealing method(Laser edge sealing is better than trimming edge) and packaging cleanliness are the keys to distinguishing cloth. Directly indicate the cleanliness level of the area of use when purchasing, so that suppliers can quickly understand the specifications.
Key Specifications and Usage
- Size: 9"×9" is the most common specification (HOLY-AN HA22 cleanroom wiper is this size), and there are larger sizes for large area wiping.
- Dry wipe vs solvent: When wiping with solvents such as IPA, choose materials with good liquid absorption and solvent resistance; finish wiping in one direction and do not wipe back and forth.
- Can it be reused?The cleanroom wiper is designed to be disposable - repeated use will bring the last adsorbed particles back to the surface, so it is not recommended for high-clean areas.
- M3 cleanroom paper/cleanroom wiper: Standing standard product, suitable for monthly procurement of fixed-volume production lines.

How Are Cleanroom Wipers Classified?
Match the wiper to the required cleanliness class using its material, edge-sealing method and particle-generation test data. Nonwoven wipers suit general production use; laser-sealed knitted-polyester wipers are preferred for higher-grade cleanrooms. State the cleanroom class and application when requesting a recommendation.
Where Can I Buy Cleanroom Wipers in Taichung?
HOLY-AN is located in Fengyuan, Taichung and regularly supplies M3 cleanroom paper, M3 cleanroom wipers and HA22 cleanroom wipers in production quantities, with shipping throughout Taiwan. Send the required quantity and specification by LINE for a quote.
Can Cleanroom Wipers Be Reused?
No. Cleanroom wipers are designed for single use. Reuse can transfer previously captured particles and solvent residue back to the surface, creating contamination in high-cleanliness areas.
How Does M3 Cleanroom Paper Differ from a Cleanroom Wiper?
Cleanroom paper is a low-particle-shedding paper material used for records, writing and interleaving. Cleanroom wipers are fibrous materials with better absorbency and wiping performance. They serve different functions in controlled environments.
What Is the English Term for Wuchen Bu?
A cleanroom wiper is a low-lint wiping material for controlled environments. Common types include nonwoven wipers and knitted-polyester wipers.
