Highly absorbent abrasion resistant wipes
WIPES

MiraWIPE® MiraWIPE® is constructed from a continuous filament micro denier, super soft polyester textile resulting in enhanced absorbency and contamination pickup versus traditional polyester wipers. They are woven from an abrasion resistant fabric designed to minimize In-Use Particles from the face of the wiper. The sealed edge construction and proprietary washing process ensure compatibility with ISO Class 1 clean rooms. Some outstanding features of MiraWIPES® are detailed below.

Extraordinary Lifting Ability “MiraWIPES® have a very porous surface and do an amazing job at ‘lifting’ the particles from surfaces vs. pushing particles around like our other fab wipers.” -consulting engineer

Where does MiraWIPE®’s extreme lifting power come from? Star shaped MiraWIPE® fibers trap and remove particles, whereas standard polyester round fibers simply push particles around. In addition, a tighter bundle lends MiraWIPES® better pick up, greater absorbency and superior abrasion resistance.

Exceptional Strength Another outstanding feature of MiraWIPES® is the weave tightness (seen on the right side), which contributes to the overall structural stability. This leaves MiraWIPES® stronger and more durable than other more loosely woven wipes. This is evident below in the results of a strain test comparing MiraWIPE® with a competing brand.

The Choice Is Clear The advantages of MiraWIPES® are obvious:

  • MiraWIPES® Eliminate wafer scratching caused by fiber excursions.
  • The MiraWIPE® micro fiber design allows it to pull more contamination off of the chamber surface, even to sub .2μm particle levels.
  • MiraWIPES® are engineered to resist abrasion damage resulting in cleaner process tools.
