Product Description
Micronova SilSat™ Silicone Lubricant Wipes (Irradiated) — 6" x 4" Knit Polyester, 8 Wipes/Resealable Pack
SSW6-01IR is an irradiated knit polyester wipe pre-saturated with a 50% medical-grade silicone / 50% IPA blend to support controlled lubrication in aseptic processing and support areas. It is commonly used to lubricate gaskets and seals in isolators, refrigerators, and cabinets where aerosol sprays create overspray, variability, and cleanup risk.
SOSCleanroom (SOS) has been a proud distributor of Micronova for over 15 years supporting critical environments. That relationship matters when you standardize pre-saturated lubricating wipes: it supports continuity of supply and faster access to the manufacturer documentation and lot traceability signals your QA/QC team expects.

Low-linting intent — and the reality check
Knit polyester wipes are typically selected for low-linting handling in controlled environments. Even so, no wipe is truly “lint-free.” Treat lubricating wipes like process tools: control when packs are opened, keep the reseal tight between uses, and prevent silicone/IPA carryover onto surfaces where lubricant contamination is unacceptable.
Practical cleanroom use guidance (technicians and engineers)
- Segregate silicone-use tools: Store and stage SilSat wipes separately from silicone-sensitive processes (e.g., certain coatings/adhesives) to avoid accidental transfer.
- Control the dose: Use light, deliberate passes on gaskets, seals, and O-rings. Over-lubrication is a common root cause of streaking, slip risk, and unintended migration.
- Allow IPA flash-off before closure: After application, allow the surface to equilibrate before closing doors or reassembling components to reduce wet transfer and smearing.
- Keep packs closed between tasks: Leaving the resealable pack open drives uneven saturation over time and can create variable lubrication from wipe to wipe.
- Glove discipline: Avoid contacting critical product surfaces with gloves that have handled silicone/IPA wipes. Change gloves per your SOP if there is any chance of carryover.
- Ignition control: Because IPA is flammable, keep wipes away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Follow site ESD controls and avoid creating static discharge during use.
Compatibility and wipe-down notes
- Chemical compatibility (as published): Good compatibility with common disinfectants and cleaning solutions. If your workflow introduces additional chemistries, qualify for streaking and residue under your actual contact conditions before standardizing.
- Autoclave: Not autoclavable. If you require autoclave cycles, use documentation or wipe products that are explicitly rated for your sterilization method.
- Ventilation and handling: Use only in a well-ventilated area; avoid breathing vapors; keep away from ignition sources and take precautionary measures against static discharge.
- Storage (as published in safety guidance): Keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, protect from sunlight, and keep away from oxidizers, acids, and alkalis.

Common failure modes
- Streaking / wet transfer: Usually from over-application or closing/assembling before IPA flash-off. Prevent with light passes and dry-time discipline.
- Silicone carryover into silicone-sensitive steps: Uncontrolled transfer can create downstream defects in some coating/adhesive processes. Prevent with segregation, glove-change rules, and clear SOP boundaries.
- Uneven lubrication from pack left open: IPA loss and saturation drift can cause wipe-to-wipe variability. Prevent by keeping the reseal closed between uses and retiring packs that have dried out.
- Cross-contamination by reuse beyond capacity: Once a wipe is loaded with soil, it becomes a transfer mechanism. Prevent with one-task usage and early discard.
- Ignition / static risk: IPA vapors can ignite near sparks or static discharge. Prevent by following site ignition controls, grounding/bonding practices where required, and using only in well-ventilated areas.
Storage and handling best practices
- Keep packs double-bagged and sealed until point-of-use; open in the intended work zone to reduce incidental contamination.
- Store cool, in a well-ventilated area, protected from sunlight; keep containers tightly closed between uses.
- Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources; follow your facility ESD controls and avoid creating static.
- Segregate from oxidizers, acids, alkalis, and incompatible chemicals per your chemical hygiene program.
