Why must cleanrooms use “wood pulp polyester spunlace fabric” instead of “viscose polyester spunlace fabric”?

In cleanroom environments, controlling fiber shedding, dust shedding, and ion release are the most critical requirements.
Specialized Wood Pulp Polyester Spunlace Fabric for Precision Equipment Cleaning

I. Wood pulp polyester spunlace fabric offers the following key advantages over viscose polyester:

1. Zero linting and fiber shedding for superior cleanliness

The wood pulp + polyester structure is more stable, preventing linting during wiping. Viscose breaks easily when wet or under pressure, causing significant linting and potential secondary contamination.

2. Lower ion content prevents equipment contamination

Wood pulp polyester exhibits significantly lower ion leaching than viscose, avoiding corrosion or interference in precision manufacturing like chips, optics, and medical devices.

3. Superior wet strength resists tearing and powdering

Wood pulp polyester maintains strength during wet wiping; viscose shows marked wet strength decline and powdering during use.

4. Superior dust absorption for thorough cleaning

Wood pulp fibers effectively trap fine particles; viscose fibers absorb excessive moisture, leaving residue.
In a nutshell:
Wood pulp polyester = Low linting, low ions, high strength—the standard for cleanroom fabrics.
Viscose polyester = High linting, high ion content, poor wet strength; unsuitable for cleanroom environments.

II. Where can viscose polyester spunlace fabric be used?

Viscose polyester isn't inherently inferior—it's simply unsuitable for cleanrooms.
It excels in general household and industrial wiping applications, such as:
• Household cleaning, kitchen wiping
•Table and glass wiping in hotels and restaurants
•Medical care and sanitary wipes
•General area wiping
•Routine cleaning in supermarkets and convenience stores
•Disposable items in beauty salons and spas

In a nutshell:

Viscose polyester is suitable for everyday cleaning but unsuitable for cleanroom environments requiring lint and ion control.
