Micro Pure Sontara datasheet

1. DuPont TM Sontara ® MicroPure DuPont Sontara ® MicroPure helps you to keep your cleanroom clean DuPont Personal Protection Examples of application s: þ General cleanroom maintenance, where absorbency is needed þ Polishing and cleaning relays, contacts and switches þ Cleaning lab appartus and sensitive equipment þ Picking up spills þ Others Trust, confidence and peace of mind These are the feelings you get when choosing Sontara ® MicroPure. Product quality is controlled f rom the manufacturing of the fabric to the cutting and packaging of the final wipes. Every detail is thought through and managed at high standards. Sontara ® MicroPure nonwoven styles (woodpulp/polyester) are engineered for cleanroom use and combine absorbency of a natural fibre with the cleanliness and strength of a synthetic fibre in the same fabric. No binders or chemical treatments are used to manufacture them. þ Sontara ® MicroPure – first choice for many endusers Increasing productivity in cleanroom manufacturing is a challenge. This is especially true when it comes to reducing potential contamination that can cause product defects and associated yield losses. Therefore, choosing an appropriate wipe is critical to product quality and not putting your image at risk. þ Sontara ® MicroPure helps you to keep your cleanroom clean Sontara ® Micropur e is a woodpulp/polyester nonwoven fabric. Made by DuPont hydroentangling technology , using jets of filtered, high-pressure water, Sontara ® fabric is continually “washed” during manufacture. Ideally for cleanroom use since it doesn’t contain binders or requir e chemical treatment. The high cleanliness and purity are ensured by low extractable level and ion content as well as extremely low particle generation b y the material itself. þ Sontara ® MicroPure offers you absorbency and cleanliness in a single fabric The fabric styles offer high particle and liquid absorbency due to their cellulose content. Unlike many other nonwoven fabrics, Sontara ® MicroPure fabrics do offer an ideal combination of cleanliness, absorbency and purity in a single fabric without binders, chemicals or adhesives. Many nonwoven wipe fabrics include binders or additives or are chemically treated on the surface to reduce the particle debris. However, these additives very often reduce absorbency – an important functional property – and, in addition, can cause contamination from the wipes. þ Sontara ® MicroPure – Quality you can rely on – Quality control from the manufacturing of the fabric to the cutting and packaging of the final wipe. – Adv anced packaging design eliminates the need to cut or tear bag in the cleanr oom. – P roduct traceability. 201-5054 Sontara® MicroPure.qxd 27/03/06 17:34 Page 1
