|
| ||
| Material / Backing | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Cloth / Fabric | Products use a woven, knitted, terry, or nonwoven fabric or cloth. | ||
| Cotton | The material or backing is cotton or another natural fiber. | ||
| Foam / Sponge | The material or backing is a foam or porous elastomer. "Foam" typically refers to manmade materials. "Sponge" refers to natural porous materials from the ocean. | ||
| Microfiber / Chamois | The material or backing is a microfiber or chamois sheet. | ||
| Paper / Cellulosic | The material or backing is paper, crepe, tissue, cellulose, or another cellulosic-based product. | ||
| Sheet / Film | The material or backing is a plastic sheet or coated film with or without an additional coating. Tack sheets or films have a coating made of contact adhesive or pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Tack sheet or films may be converted into tape, mats, or other products. | ||
| Synthetic / Polyester | The material or backing is a synthetic polymer such as polyester, rayon, nylon, or polyvinylidene fluoride. | ||
| Terry Cloth | The material or backing is an absorbent terry cloth fabric. | ||
| Specialty / Other | The material or backing is proprietary, patented, unlisted or specialized. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Width / OD | The width or outer diameter (OD) of the cleaning product. On a wipe, this would be the overall width of the cleaning sheet. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Overall Length | The length of the cleaning product is typically its dimension. | ||

Features

|
| ||
| Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Abrasive / Polishing | The product contains an abrasive cleaner. Abrasive cleaners have abrasive particles that mechanically enhance the cleaning or metal polishing process. | ||
| Anti-static / ESD Safe | The product contains anti-static agents or conductive compounds to reduce or eliminate the generation of static electrical charges. Static electrical charges can damage or destroy electronic components or devices. Typically, static charges build-up on thin materials such as polyimide, Kapton® (DuPont), and PET sheets during web handling or converting operations. | ||
| Disinfecting / Sanitizing | The product contain biocides, germicides, sporicides, insecticides, pesticides, viricides, repellents, disinfectants, or sanitizers that can be effective against bacteria including TB (mycobacterium tuberculosis), viruses including HIV-1 (AIDS), fungi, spores, parasites, insects, and/or other organisms or micro-organisms. | ||
| Specialty / Other | Other unlisted, proprietary or specialty features. | ||

| |||
| Saturant / Compatibility | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aqueous / Water-based | Products can be saturated with an aqueous water-based or water-soluble cleaner, surface treatment, disinfectant, or coating. | ||
| Solvent / Solvent-based | Products are solvents or solvent-based cleaners or surface treatments. | ||
| Terpene / Oil-based | Surface treatments or cleaning agents are based on or contain terpenes (plant-derived hydrocarbons) or oil compositions. Oil or terpene-based cleaners are useful in removing grime, smoke, soot, carbon deposits, grease or oil smudge, diesel fuel, and cutting fluids. D-limolene (citrus derived) and pinene (pine or wood turpentine derived) compounds are examples of terpenes. Terpenes may be used as replacements for phased-out solvent cleaners such as CFCs and trichloroethane. | ||

Industry Applications

|
|
| ||
| Industry Applications | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Applicator (Stains, Coating, Lubricants) | Products are suitable for absorbing and applying stains, lubricants, varnishes, or other coatings. | ||
| Biotech (Pharmaceutical / Medical) | Products are suitable for pharmaceutical, medical, or other biotechnology applications. | ||
| Critical Cleaning / Cleanroom (Residue / Lint Free) | Products are suitable for critical cleaning applications that require a residue and lint-free surface. No residue remains on the surface after rinsing. Semiconductor, optics, pharmaceutical, and medical or biotech applications often require critical or residue-free cleaning agents. Critical cleaning products do not have exposed edges, which can release lint or fiber if snagged. Instead, these products have a wrapped, folded and sealed construction to eliminate edges of the cleaning cloth or foam. Corners should be avoided, too, since they can trap soils, particles, and dust. | ||
| Cleaning Validation | Swabs are designed to check a surface for particulates, dust, microbes, or other contaminants. | ||
| Degreasing (Oil, Tar, Waxes) | Degreasers or degreasing products are used to remove oils, petroleum compounds, cutting fluids, grease, wax, adhesives, asphalt, tar, waxes, pitches, and other oil or petroleum-based soils. Degreasing cleaning agents can be water, terpene or solvent-based. | ||
| Electrical / Electronics | Products are suitable for electrical or electronic applications such as patterning printed circuit boards (PCBs), removing dust from keyboards or other electronic devices, or cleaning the electrical contacts in circuit breakers or relays. | ||
| Fiber Optic / Optical Components | Wipes, swabs, aerosol cleaners, surface treatments or cleaning agents are suitable for fiber optic or optical component applications. Fiber optic splice or connector cleaners must be residue-free and quick-drying to avoid the entrapment of cleaning agents or solvents. | ||
| Hand Cleaning | Products are suitable for cleaning the hands. | ||
| Particle / Dust Removal | Products are designed to remove fine particles or dust from a surface. Tack cloths are commonly used to remove saw dust from a wood surface prior to staining, varnishing, or painting. High cleanliness products are used to remove particles from surfaces in semiconductor, optical, cleanroom, and other critical cleaning applications | ||
| Semiconductor Wafer | Surface treatments or cleaning agents are suitable for semiconductor wafer applications, which must meet very stringent cleanliness requirements to avoid contamination of critical wafer or optical substrate surfaces with particulates or residues. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, proprietary or specialty applications. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
