Vectra® Quantex Sealed Border Dry Wipers Ultra-Clean Polyester Wipers with Advanced Sealed Edge Technology for Critical Environments Vectra® Quantex wipers are engineered with continuous filament polyester and advanced sealed edge processing to deliver ultra-low particle generation, exceptional durability, and superior contamination control for critical cleanroom applications. ▼ EXPAND TECHNICAL REFERENCE
Advanced Sealed Edge Technology for Maximum Contamination Control
Vectra® Quantex wipers are manufactured using continuous filament polyester fibers combined with proprietary sealed edge processing to eliminate exposed fiber ends. This significantly reduces particle shedding and ensures consistent performance in high-purity environments.
The sealed border construction enhances structural integrity during aggressive wiping, while maintaining ultra-low lint characteristics. These wipers are processed and laundered in cleanroom environments to ensure minimal extractables and consistent cleanliness.
Vectra® Quantex is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, microelectronics, and other critical processes where even trace contamination can impact yield and product quality.
