The  TX1009 AlphaWipe Polyester Cleanroom Wiper lay peacefully in its package, where no one would ever suspect it to have super powers or designs for world domination. After all, it was only 9 inches square, a simple, unassuming white cloth that no one would have ever dreamed would have ambitions of being a superhero.

But this was not just any napkin or handkerchief lying there. This 100% polyester fiber wiper was made of continuous-filament, double-knit construction. It had not just been made in any factory. It was cleanroom laundered and packaged, and it was encased neatly in solvent-safe packaging. The dry wiper knew that it was special. Just like Peter Parker in the newsroom, underneath its ordinary appearance lay extraordinary abilities, from ultra low levels of particles to excellent chemical resistance.

The moment of glory was coming. An accident was about to happen. The cleanroom wiper heard the call. An employee was rushing to wipe up a spill. It was hardening fast, meaning that the wiper would require great abrasion resistance. But the TX1009 cleanroom wiper didn’t hesitate. It knew that its continuous-filament fiber would prevent shedding, even with rigorous use or rough surfaces.

The cleanroom employee looked up, startled, almost hearing the faint strains of the TX1009’s theme song playing as it flew out of the package. It almost looked like a superhero’s cape as it dressed the worker’s expert hand. The worker paused for just an instant to admire the incredible wonder he had just witnessed. But then the two of them together sprang into action.

“Evil chemical spill, begone!” the TX1009 exclaimed. “I am AlphaWipe, and you are no match for the likes of me.”

“AlphaWipe, I will never surrender!” the chemical spill retorted.

“Challenge accepted,” replied the TX1009. “You’re going down to the incinerator, never to return.”

Just then, the TX1009 noticed that there were hostages. Some innocent bystanders nearby in the cleanroom were at risk of contamination if our superhero were to shed even a few tiny fragments in the fight. Suddenly our hero felt himself under the watchful gaze of two laser particle counters, who turned their attention to the outcome. They took bets with each other to see how many particles and fibers bigger than 0.5 μm the TX1009 would shed. Would it be more than 8.4 x 10⁶ particles/m²? The suspense wouldn’t last much longer.

The cape-clothed hand descended upon the spill and the last dying breaths of the evil chemical spill were barely audible as the wiper did its job. Combining speed of attack (a sorptive rate of 0.5 seconds) with its ample capacity (530 mL/m²), the cleanroom wiper practically drank up the last few drops of the stain. The evil chemical spill was gone, and the TX1009 even managed to protect all the innocent bystanders in the process.

The cleanroom environment was back to normal, and the next TX1009 readied itself in the package for its moment of glory.
