Teknipure TC1PS2-99 TekniLight Polyester Knit Wiper, Sealed Edge, 9 in x 9 in, Case of 1200
Teknipure TC1PS2-99 TekniLight Polyester Knit Wiper, Sealed Edge, 9 in x 9 in, Case of 1,200
The Teknipure TC1PS2-99 TekniLight™ is a dry, sealed-edge, laundered polyester knit cleanroom wiper rated for ISO Class 2–7 environments — a significantly higher cleanliness specification than polycell nonwoven wipers. The sealed edge construction minimizes fiber release at the wiper perimeter, while the knit polyester construction delivers superior particle pickup, abrasion resistance, and chemical compatibility compared to nonwoven alternatives. Ideal for semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, optical component cleaning, and medical device assembly where low particle generation and consistent wiping performance are critical.
Sold in cases of 1,200 wipers (150 wipers/bag, 8 bags/case).
Industries and Applications
- Semiconductor and Disk Drive Manufacturing — critical surface cleaning and particle control in ISO 2–5 fabs
- Pharmaceutical and Biotech Production — USP <797>/<800> compliant cleanroom wiping and disinfectant residue removal
- Medical Device Assembly — low-particle wiping for sterile and semi-sterile controlled environments
- Optical Component Manufacturing — lens, optic, and precision surface cleaning requiring minimal fiber contamination
- Aerospace and Defense Electronics — controlled environment surface prep and cleaning
- Conformal Coating and Adhesive Bonding — final surface wipe-down before coating or bonding operations
Key Features
- ISO Class 2–7 Rated: Laundered to meet critical cleanroom classification requirements

Frequently Asked Questions
How does TekniLight polyester knit compare to TekniZorb polycellulose nonwoven?
TekniLight™ polyester knit wipers are rated for ISO 2–7 environments, while TekniZorb® polycell nonwoven wipers are rated for ISO 5–8. The polyester knit construction generates fewer particles and fibers, making TekniLight the correct choice for more critical cleanroom classifications. TekniZorb offers higher absorbency for general cleaning tasks; TekniLight is preferred where particle control is the primary requirement.
What does "sealed edge" mean and why does it matter?
Sealed edge construction bonds the perimeter of the wiper to prevent fiber shedding from the cut edges — the most common source of particle contamination from knit wipers. In critical ISO 2–7 environments, unsealed edges can introduce fibers that contaminate surfaces or products. The TC1PS2-99's sealed edge ensures the wiper maintains its low-particle performance throughout use.
Is the TC1PS2-99 compatible with IPA and other cleanroom solvents?
Yes. TekniLight™ polyester knit wipers have excellent chemical compatibility with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), sterile water, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium disinfectants, and most common cleanroom cleaning and disinfecting solutions. The polyester construction is more chemically resistant than cellulose-blend wipers, making it suitable for aggressive solvent applications.
Is a presaturated version of the TC1PS2-99 available?
Yes. Teknipure offers TekniLight™ Presat versions of this wiper pre-wetted with IPA for ready-to-use cleanroom cleaning. Contact us for presaturated TekniLight options if you prefer a pre-wetted format over dry wipers with separate solvent application.
How does this wiper compare to High-Tech Conversions or Berkshire polyester wipers?
All three brands offer ISO-rated sealed-edge polyester knit wipers for critical cleanroom use. Teknipure TekniLight™ is a well-regarded option for ISO 2–7 applications with consistent laundering quality and long shelf life. Selection often comes down to pricing, availability, and facility qualification — if your quality program has already validated one brand, switching requires requalification. We carry all three brands to support your existing program or help you evaluate alternatives.
What is the correct wiper for my ISO class?
The TC1PS2-99 is rated for ISO Class 2–7 (Federal Standard Class <1 to 10,000). For ISO 7–8 environments, a polycell nonwoven wiper like TekniZorb is typically sufficient and more cost-effective. For ISO 1–4 critical environments, a higher-specification wiper such as a double-knit polyester or microdenier construction may be required — contact us if you need guidance for ultra-critical classifications.
Can I use these wipers with hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) or VHP disinfection programs?
Polyester knit wipers like the TC1PS2-99 are generally compatible with hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectants for surface wiping applications. However, for VHP (vaporized hydrogen peroxide) sterilization cycles in isolators or RABS, the wiper itself is not used during the cycle — it is used for pre- and post-cycle surface cleaning. Always verify compatibility with your disinfection program SOP and validate with your quality team for GMP environments.
