Which cleanroom wiper should your factory in Vietnam use? Cleanroom wipers are textiles used to remove foreign matter from products and inside the cleanroom: high purity, free of ionic content, non-linting. PRIMEAG supplies three types by material — polyester 1009 (surface wiping, chemical resistant), microfiber 8009 (scratch-sensitive surfaces, optics) and nonwoven wiper 0609 (equipment cleaning, most economical). This page helps you choose the right type for each job.
What is a cleanroom wiper and how does it differ from an ordinary cloth?
In practice every cloth or rag sheds lint — even face towels and bath towels at home. The micro-fibers are so fine that the eye rarely notices them, but when static is present they cling to components, displays and lenses and become a source of product defects. Cleanroom wipers address exactly this: continuous filaments shed little, laser-cut edges seal every loose fiber end, and washing and double-bagging in a cleanroom keep particles, ions and extractables very low.
Cleanroom wipers are classified by material into three groups: polyester, microfiber and nonwoven. The three magnified images below show their different fiber structures — which is why each type suits a different job.
Quick comparison of the three types
| Criterion | Polyester 1009 | Microfiber 8009 | Nonwoven 0609 / 0606 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | 100% continuous-filament polyester, double knit | 100% ultra-fine microfiber | Nonwoven, 55% cellulose – 45% polyester |
| Edge | Laser-cut, sealed | Laser-cut, sealed | Standard cut (single use) |
| Strengths | Very good removal of fine surface dust; resistant to chemicals and solvents | High absorbency; does not scratch; wipes dry without solution | Good absorbency, leaves no residue when wiping liquids; lowest cost |
| Limitations | Lower absorbency | Highest price | More lint than the other two; not for optics |
| Cleanroom class | Class 10–1,000 | Class 10–100 | Class 100–1,000 |
| Size | 9×9 inch (6×6 available) | 6×6 / 9×9 inch | 6×6 / 9×9 inch |
| Packing | 150 sheets/bag, 10 bags/carton | 100 sheets/bag, 10 bags/carton | 300 sheets/bag, 10 bags/carton |

Class 10 / 100 / 1,000 (FED-STD-209E) correspond to ISO 4 / 5 / 6 per ISO 14644-1. Prices are per bag and vary with quantity and wiper size.
1. 100% polyester wiper — code 1009 (1009SLE)
- Made with a laser-cutting process that burns off every excess fiber at the edge, so the wiper is extremely clean and does not shed fibers when wiping.
- A special double-knit construction gives excellent wiping performance and chemical resistance; withstands IPA, acetone and flux-cleaning solvents.
- Minimizes particles and removes fine surface dust very well — the “standard” wiper of electronics cleanrooms.
- Absorbency is lower than microfiber and nonwoven wipers, so it is better for dry wiping or wiping with fast-evaporating solvents than for soaking up large amounts of liquid.
- Double-bagged in a cleanroom before reaching the user. For Class 10 to 1,000 cleanrooms.
Use for: wiping ESD workbenches, fixtures and the underside of stencils with IPA, wiping PCBs after rework, cleaning machine chambers in the SMT area.
2. Ultra-fine microfiber wiper — code 8009 (8009D)
- For products made of scratch-sensitive materials: optics, glass, high-precision machined parts, injector nozzles, small parts.
- Small, soft, fine fibers leave no micro-scratches; the wiper is durable and can clean surfaces without any solution.
- Very effective at removing fine dust and oil film, leaving no residue thanks to its high dust and water absorbency.
- Laser-cut, washed twice in a cleanroom, double-bagged and vacuum-sealed.
- For Class 10–100 cleanrooms. Size 6×6 inch / 9×9 inch; 100 sheets/bag, 10 bags/carton.
Use for: wiping camera module lenses, displays, touch glass, optical molds, glossy painted or plated surfaces.
3. Nonwoven wiper — code 0609 (6×6 inch: 0606)
- Nonwoven fabric of 45% polyester – 55% cellulose with good absorbency, so no residue remains even when wiping liquids.
- A special surface treatment prevents linting in normal wiping.
- Mainly used for cleaning and wiping equipment in the cleanroom; also the same material family as SMT stencil wiping rolls.
- Class 100 to 1,000 cleanrooms. The lowest-cost wiper type, extremely economical for high-volume wiping.
- Size 6×6 inch / 9×9 inch; 300 sheets/bag, 10 bags/carton. SGS RoHS 10-substance and halogen reports are available for the polycellulose wiper — see the certificate files.
Use for: wiping machine tables, trays and conveyor belts, soaking up solvent spills, wiping flux after hand soldering, lining component trays.
Choosing a wiper by task
| Task | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wiping ESD benches, fixtures, stencils with IPA | Polyester 1009 | Solvent resistant, low linting, durable when scrubbing |
| Lenses, displays, glass, glossy painted parts | Microfiber 8009 | Soft fibers do not scratch, absorb finger oil without streaks |
| Equipment cleaning, wiping liquids, single use | Nonwoven 0609 / 0606 | Absorbs fast, low cost, discard after use |
| Automatic solder paste stencil wiping | Polycellulose roll to machine width | Same material as 0609, rolled to fit DEK/MPM/Yamaha machines |
| Bare PCBs and components in an EPA | Polyester 1009 + ionizer if needed | Microfiber generates more static when rubbed |
Correct use for the best results
- Open the bag inside the clean area, take only what you need, then fold the bag closed; do not leave wipers exposed on the bench.
- Fold the wiper in four and wipe in one direction with parallel, overlapping strokes; turn to a clean face after each stroke and discard the wiper when no clean face is left — do not wipe in circles.
- Dampen with solvent, do not soak; do not pour directly from a large can onto the wiper.
- Keep separate wipers for optical surfaces and do not share them with machine-wiping cloths (a wiper that has picked up hard particles will scratch).
- Cleanroom wipers are single use or laundered by a cleanroom laundry service; do not hand-wash and do not use fabric softener.

Frequently asked questions
- If I can only stock one cleanroom wiper, which should I buy? — Electronics cleanrooms usually choose polyester 1009 as the main wiper (benches, fixtures, solvents), adding 0609 for rough cleaning and microfiber 8009 only at optics and display stations.
- Apart from size, how do 9×9 and 6×6 wipers differ? — Same material and cleanliness class; 6×6 suits small parts and saves cost; 9×9 is folded in four for benches and equipment. Prices are per bag, so 6×6 is cheaper.
- Can the 0609 nonwoven wiper be used in a Class 100 cleanroom? — Yes, for cleaning equipment, floors and benches in Class 100–1,000; for particle-sensitive product surfaces use laser-edged polyester or microfiber.
- Which certificates come with the wipers? — The polycellulose wiper has SGS RoHS and halogen reports; polyester and microfiber wipers carry the manufacturer’s RoHS label; a CoA per lot is provided on customer request.
Price: from 80,000 VND (excl. 8% VAT).
