Cleanroom wipers generally come in two patterns on the market: cross knitted and single knitted, both produced through knitting processes. Although these two types of cleanroom wipers appear visually similar, their applications and effectiveness differ significantly in practical use.


Cross Knitted Cleanroom Wipers

  • The texture of cross knitted wipers is slightly rougher compared to single knitted wipers.

  • The pattern appears grid-like.

  • Cross knitted wipers demonstrate better stain removal performance.

  • Due to their focus on stain removal, cross knitted wipers outperform single knitted wipers when wiping machinery, removing residual adhesives, or cleaning patch adhesives.

Single Knitted Cleanroom Wipers

  • Feel softer and smoother to the touch.

  • Feature a straight-line pattern with identical structures on both sides, making them more wear-resistant.

  • The orderly arrangement of fibers reduces abrasion on products and precision instruments.

  • Exhibit superior liquid absorption capacity compared to cross knitted wipers.

  • This explains why high-performance wipers (e.g., polyester, sub-microfiber, and microfiber wipers) typically adopt single knitted patterns, while standard polyester wipers use cross knitted patterns.

How to Choose Between Single Knitted and Cross Knitted?

For routine tasks like wiping machinery or removing adhesives, opt for cross knitted polyester wipers focused on stain removal.

When cleaning precision instruments or sensitive products where abrasion must be minimized, choose single knitted wipers (sub-microfiber or microfiber) for their softness, smoothness, and low abrasion properties. This ensures no damage to critical components.
