Contec Vertiklean Mop Head Frame 12 in. QuickConnect Stainless Steel

Contec® VertiKlean® MAX™ Mop Head Frame, 12-inch, QuickConnect™ Stainless Steel (2652SS)

The Contec® VertiKlean® 2652SS is a heavy-duty, cleanroom-grade hardware component engineered to support critical sanitization and disinfection protocols within ultra-controlled environments. Fabricated from premium, electropolished high-grade stainless steel, this 12-inch mop frame provides structural rigidity and unmatched chemical durability when subjected to aggressive cleanroom biocides, sporicides, and routine autoclaving cycles. Featuring Contec’s proprietary QuickConnect™ mechanism, the frame snaps securely onto matching cleanroom handles with a simple mechanical click, allowing hands-free detachment of contaminated assemblies and ensuring uniform fluid application across floors, walls, and containment ceilings.

Technical Performance & Design

• High-Grade Electropolished Stainless Steel: Constructing the frame from high-purity stainless steel eliminates the risk of particulate shedding or surface oxidation, ensuring complete structural compatibility with aggressive phenols, quaternary ammonium compounds, and hydrogen peroxide vapors.
• Low-Profile Pivot Joints: Designed with an ultra-flat, smoothly pivoting joint manifold that permits 360-degree rotation. This geometric agility allows operators to slide beneath processing lines, steer around biological instrumentation, and clean tight architectural corners with minimal mechanical friction.
• QuickConnect™ Toolless Mechanism: Eliminates threaded collar designs or locking pins that trap biological contaminants. The integrated QuickConnect tab permits immediate, one-handed attachment and detachment from matching cleanroom mop handles, accelerating shift changeovers and containment cleaning routines.
• Autoclave Sterilization Resilience: The fully metallic composition is built to withstand repeated thermal processing loops up to $121^\circ\text{C}$ ($250^\circ\text{F}$) for 30 minutes under pressure, fitting flawlessly into sterile pharma production and aseptic compounding facility protocols.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Pharmaceutical & Biotech Disinfection: An essential tool for applying sterile disinfectants or sporicides across high-grade filling suites, biological safety hoods, and isolation barriers without risk of chemical corrosion.
• Vertical Wall and Ceiling Sanitization: The uniform 12-inch width provides stable mechanical leverage for wiping down vertical panels, cleanroom panels, and ceiling tiles with consistent, streak-free surface coverage.
• USP <800> Hazardous Contamination Mopping: Highly recommended for neutralising chemo drugs or hazardous drug spills, where the non-porous stainless steel surface can be rapidly wiped clean and decontaminated with sodium hypochlorite solutions.
• Zero-Plastic Infrastructure Lifespan: Unlike standard plastic or composite alternatives that warp under intensive chemical exposure or thermal cracking, the 2652SS provides an enduring operational lifecycle across multi-year production schedules.
