  • Publication number: 20220234808
    Abstract: A wipe container that includes a cover member that has a cavity, at least one wipe received in the cavity of the cover member, a base member that has a fluid reservoir, and a partition that is disposed between the cover and base members. The cover member, the base member, and the partition are sealed together to create a perimeter seal. The partition creates a barrier between the wipe on one side and cleaner on the other side. The container can be introduced into a clean room. Just prior to use, the partition is split open so that the cleaner mixes with water on the wipes.

  • Publication number: 20210284424
    Abstract: A wipe pouch has a first compartment containing a first chemical, a second compartment containing a second chemical, and a third compartment containing a dry wipe. A first coupling assembly (a first frangible seal) couples the first compartment to the second compartment and has a closed configuration in which the first compartment does not communicate with the second compartment, and an opened configuration in which the first compartment communicates with the second compartment. A second coupling assembly (a second frangible seal) couples the second compartment to the third compartment and has a closed configuration in which the second compartment does not communicate with the third compartment, and an opened configuration in which the second compartment communicates with the third compartment. When ready for use, the first frangible seal is broken to mix bleach in the first compartment with WFI in the second compartment.
