Absorbent Nonwoven Wipers for Controlled Cleaning
Cellulose and polyester cleanroom wipes are hydroentangled nonwoven wipes engineered to combine the absorbency of cellulose fibers with the strength and durability of polyester. This combination creates a wipe that provides high liquid uptake while maintaining structural integrity during cleaning tasks.
Hydroentanglement is a manufacturing process that uses high-pressure water jets to interlock fibers without chemical binders. This process creates a strong, low-lint wipe suitable for controlled environments where absorbency and wipe strength are required.
Cellulose/polyester wipes are commonly used in ISO Class 6–8 environments and controlled manufacturing areas where higher absorbency is needed for cleaning equipment surfaces, removing solvents, or general wipe-down tasks.
Hydroentangled Nonwoven Construction
Cellulose Component:
Cellulose fibers provide strong absorbency and rapid liquid uptake, making these wipes effective for cleaning solutions and spill absorption.

Polyester Component:
Polyester fibers provide strength and abrasion resistance, allowing the wipe to maintain integrity during aggressive cleaning tasks.
Polyester fibers provide strength and abrasion resistance, allowing the wipe to maintain integrity during aggressive cleaning tasks.
Hydroentanglement Process:
The fibers are bonded using high-pressure water jets rather than chemical binders, reducing contamination risk and improving wipe strength.
