7th Sep 2015

Texwipe products are designed to help you and your cleanroom workers maintain a contamination- free workspace. Any contamination can cause a shutdown of the whole room resulting in wasted time and money. Texwipe swabs, wipes, and mops are some of the best tools you can have for contamination control. SOS Cleanroom offers many Texwipe products and can help you select the appropriate product for your cleanroom needs.

No matter how hard you try to keep your clean room contaminant free, accidents happen. People drop things, knock vials over or simply forget to tuck a piece of hair into their gown.

Dealing With a Spill

  • Depending on the size and nature of the spill, some or all of the following steps should be taken.
  • Get help. You need to have someone watch over the spill while you check the MSDS and get cleaning supplies.
  • Inform the correct person or people about the spill.
  • When dealing with a spill, your first priority should be to know what material has been spilled.
  • When you have identified the material, check it’s Material Safety Data Sheet for precautionary information.
  • Place a chemical spill sign and block off the area with chemical spill tape.
  • Spills should be cleaned up using gloves and wipers that will not degrade and leave behind particulates. This is especially important when dealing with volatile materials.
  • Blot up as much of the spill as you can using dry wipers.
  • Wipe slowly, about one foot per second and wipes, as always from the cleanest to the least clean area of the surface.
  • Dispose of used wipers as your industry dictates.
