A fabric for forming a storage media disk texturing member is formed from a non-woven polymeric material formed from fibers and having substantially no titanium dioxide. A method for texturing a surface of a metal storage media disk is also disclosed.

Clean room cleaning articles such as PVA sponge brushes and pre-saturated wipers are packaged in a sealed container with a de-ionized water containing around 0.05 to 1% hydrogen peroxide.

Peroxide preservation

A cleaning solution kit includes a liquid that is disposed within a first compartment and that is isolated from a cleaning solid disposed in a second compartment by a first openable barrier. When the first openable barrier is opened, the liquid and cleaning solid are exposed to one another, forming the cleaning solution. A cleaning kit includes the first and second compartments of the cleaning solution kit and also includes wipes. The wipes are disposed within a third compartment and are isolated from the cleaning solid and the liquid by a second openable barrier and the first openable barrier. When wipes are needed to clean an area, after the cleaning solution is formed by opening the first openable barrier, the second barrier is opened and the cleaning solution wets the wipes. The wipes are then ready for cleaning surfaces within an area.

Point of use cleaning solution

A cleaning tape is edge-stabilized using an adhesive that is solvent resistant. The edge-stabilizing adhesive is a one-step cross-linkable formulation of polyvinyl alcohol, ammonium zirconium carbonate, an acetylinic surfactant and a non-silicone defoaming agent. The formulation is applied to the sides of a woven cotton cleaning tape roll and then is allowed to dry and cure. The resulting cleaning tape can be used in a surface buffing operation in which a solvent is applied to the cleaning tape, without contamination of the surface to be buffed by fibers from the tape or by the edge-stabilizing adhesive.
