The cleanroom environment in an electronic assembly setting is particularly vulnerable to contamination. Not only must we contend with all the usual contaminants that threaten the cleanroom environment, but also the sensitivity of the electronic products manufactured within means that particles a few microns across can wreak havoc.

Contaminants can cost a fortune in recall costs. Many a successful electronics company has already had to contend with the catastrophic costs of such an eventuality, which is why a great deal of time, money and training goes into ensuring an almost sterile electronic assembly cleanroom environment.

Electronics assembly cleanrooms boast particularly severe cleanroom protocols, designed to maintain an optimal level of quality and avoid contaminants at all costs. Aside from your run-of-the-mill contaminants such as biological agents and microfibers, the electronic assembly cleanroom is faced with the added challenge of the presence of static electricity and products which work like magnets for electrically charged contaminants. This is why further specialized material is needed in this cleanroom setting, and this is where ESD wipes come in.
