When you are in charge of cleanroom protocol you know that there will always be contamination. It happens, no matter what you do. One of the biggest sources of particle contamination in a cleanroom is the human workers. When you have contaminants, the best thing you can do is to turn to Texwipe products to help you contain and clean it so you can get back to work. We love Texwipe swabs and wipers for cleaning cleanrooms. Texwipe Wipers such as the TX3214 Sterile TechniSat 9” x 11” Polyester and Cellulose Wiper Pre-wetted 70% IPA.

The main types of contamination are

• Particulate: dust skin, hair, make up
• Chemical: oil, grease, metal ions, perfume
• Biological: bacterial, fungi
• Radiation: ultraviolet

Of these the the human contributions make up 75%.

• We know we all do our best to keep our clean room at its best, and this starts at home. Skin flakes, cosmetics, and perfumes are all potential contaminants in a clean room, and employees need to do their part to not bring these things into the controlled environment.
• The motions we take and the rate at which me move all play a part in keeping a clean room clean. If we move too fast we can make eddies of air and bring contaminants into the cleanest areas of the space. If we are careless and drop something or spill something, the entire clean room will be compromised and production will stop for the cleaning.

When we all do our part and use the best products - Texwipe products - the clean room can stay clean and productivity won’t be interrupted.
