High-quality sterile wipes free of lint that comply with cGMP standards are necessary for pharmaceutical manufacturing. These cleanroom wipes are sterilized through gamma irradiation and come in different sizes and materials, including polyester, microfiber, and nonwoven fabrics with polyester-cellulose blends. The choice of materials depends on the cleanliness class or grade of your clean room, as certain materials offer better cleanliness and particle shedding.
- Sterile nonwoven cleanroom wipes are the most popular for cleaning surfaces in your clean room. These wipes are always available and are processed to ensure the proper level of cleanliness. They are suitable for less strict clean room environments of ISO6 Class 1000+ Grade C or Grade D.
- Sterile polyester cleanroom wipes are ultra-clean and suited for more strict critical environments. These sterile wipes are laundered, sterilized, inspected, certified, and double or triple-cleanroom-bagged. They are safe for use in ISO4-5 Class 10-100 Grade A, Grade B critical areas.
- Sterile microfiber cleanroom wipes are a special polyester knit that offers a unique surface allowing great scrubbing and easier removal of extra-small particles. The micro-fibers trap even the smallest particles and will not scratch delicate surfaces.
Sterile wipes are also known as aseptic, pharma, compounding, gamma irradiated, and USP-compliant wipes, depending on your industry and application. Our sterile lint-free wipes are designed to meet many applications across most regulated industries.
