Sontara® MicroPure LP is a high-performance, absorbent product engineered for cleanrooms. Because Sontara® is made using the unique hydroentangling process, where needle-like water jets form a strong, nonwoven fabric without any binders.
It has millions fewer invisible particles than typical sealed-edge, double-knit polyester wipers, yet is far more absorbent. This absorbency is inherent to the fabric itself – unlike knits – and not the result of chemical additives. Sontara® MicroPure LP is the cleanest high-absorbency nonwoven fabric available.
How the wipes are made High-Pressure hydroentanglement is a process invented.
When using dust-free wipes, the wipe material itself may create polluting particles (These pollutants are almost invisible)
Dust particles created by the material itself
Ions
Fibers
Crystals
Foreign pollutants on the material
Sontara® MicroPure Cleanroom Wipes can minimize these pollutants Sontara® MicroPure Cleanroom Wipes has excellent dry wiping and dust picking performance (because wiping dry = wiping clean)
Excellent moisture absorption Sontara® MicroPure Cleanroom Wipes itself is made of high liquid absorption material.
