Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is a cleanroom?
A: A cleanroom is a controlled environment where the level of airborne particles, contaminants, and microbes is kept to a minimum. They are commonly used in electronics, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. So, These Lint Free Wipes are designed to help maintain this controlled environment by reducing lint, dust, and static discharge.
Q: What does ROHS compliant mean?
A: ROHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. If a product is ROHS compliant, it means it does not contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, or cadmium. Greenwipes® Lint Free are ROHS certified, making them safer for both users and the environment.
Q: What is an ISO Class 6 cleanroom?
A: An ISO Class 6 cleanroom (equivalent to Class 1000) allows a maximum of 35,200 particles per cubic metre of air. It is commonly used in electronics manufacturing and pharmaceutical labs. GW-5100 Lint Free Wipes are tested against international standards and safe for use in ISO Class 6 environments and higher.
Q: What is lint, and why are lint free wipes important?
A: Lint refers to small fibers or particles that can shed from fabric-based materials. In cleanroom environments, lint can compromise product quality and contaminate sensitive equipment. GW-5100 wipes are completely lint free, making them ideal for contamination control.
Q: Can GW-5100 wipes be used as lens cleaning wipes or lens cleansing wipes?
A: Yes. Their lint free, soft polyester construction makes them safe and effective for lens cleaning wipes, ensuring delicate optical surfaces remain scratch-free and uncontaminated.
Q: Are GW-5100 wipes sterile?
A: GW-5100 wipes are not pre-sterilized but are autoclave safe, meaning they can be sterilized for use as sterile wipes in controlled environments.
Q: Are these wipes compatible with cleaning chemicals?
A: Yes. GW-5100 wipes are chemical compatible, allowing safe use with a wide range of cleanroom cleaning solutions.
Q: What cleanroom classes are GW-5100 wipes suitable for?
A: GW-5100 wipes are approved for cleanroom class 1000–100,000 (ISO 6–8), making them suitable for electronics, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries.
Q: What makes GW-5100 different from other lint free cleanroom wipes?
A: Unlike standard wipes, GW-5100 combines 100% polyester knit, diamond knit technology, laser sealed edges, and autoclave compatibility, providing superior performance and reliability.
