Cleanroom Manufacturing for Wet Wipes and Diapers

Why Cleanroom Manufacturing Matters in Wet Wipes and Diaper Production

22 Jul 2025

Cleanroom environments have become essential in the manufacturing of hygiene products. In categories like wet wipes and diapers, where consumer contact is direct and frequent, ensuring product safety through contamination control is no longer optional, it’s expected.

At AHC, one of Asia’s largest OEM manufacturers of wet wipes and diapers, cleanroom manufacturing is a cornerstone of our production process. Here's why it matters.

Understanding Cleanroom Standards in Hygiene Manufacturing

A cleanroom is a controlled environment where the concentration of airborne particles is tightly regulated. This is crucial for products that contact sensitive skin or are used in personal areas.

In hygiene manufacturing, cleanrooms must comply with international standards such as ISO 14644-1. At AHC, we operate cleanrooms certified to Class 100K (ISO 8) and above, which ensures controlled airflow, filtered air exchange, and reduced risk of cross-contamination.

All operators follow strict gowning procedures, and machinery is routinely sanitized. These practices are critical for producing microbiologically clean, skin-safe products, especially for baby care, cosmetic, and dermaceutical wipes.

Product Integrity, From Raw Materials to Final Sealing

Cleanroom environments do more than prevent contamination. They protect material integrity across the entire production line. From nonwoven unwinding to liquid saturation, folding, and sealing, every step is monitored under controlled conditions.

This is especially relevant when working with biodegradable materials, natural actives, or OTC-approved formulations, where exposure to external contaminants could compromise efficacy or shelf life.

With increasing demand for gentle and high-performance hygiene products, cleanroom production has become a quality differentiator in private label manufacturing.

“Cleanroom production is not just about compliance—it’s about brand protection,” says Frank Wang, AHC’s Quality Control Director. “It ensures consistent product safety from the first batch to the millionth.”

Cleanroom vs. Standard Production: What Buyers Should Know

While non-cleanroom environments may be acceptable for general use products, brands targeting sensitive applications such as baby wipes, feminine care or face care should prioritize cleanroom manufacturing.

Here’s what buyers should ask their OEM partner:

What cleanroom certifications do you operate under?
Are materials handled entirely in controlled environments?
What microbial testing protocols are in place?

AHC provides documentation and third-party validation for clients entering markets with strict import standards, including the EU, US, and Japan.

OEM with Cleanroom Manufacturing: A Competitive Advantage

Cleanroom-certified manufacturing supports stronger claims on product safety, purity, and microbiological control. For OEM partners, it offers peace of mind and better regulatory alignment.

According to Nonwovens Industry Magazine, brands are increasingly favoring contract manufacturers that offer value-added services like cleanroom production, in-house microbiological labs, and compliance support.

At AHC, we integrate all of the above into our OEM process. Whether you are launching a sensitive skin product or entering a new market segment, our cleanroom capabilities ensure your product meets the highest standards.

Build With Confidence

With over two decades of experience, AHC helps brands turn hygiene concepts into compliant, globally competitive products. Our cleanroom production is part of a wider commitment to safe, sustainable, and high-performance private label manufacturing.

If your product requires more than just production—if it requires trust, protection, and precision—our team is ready to support you.
