TX3042P Sterile Vertex 12" x 12" Polyester Sealed Edge Wiper Pre-Wetted 70% IPA

TX3042P Sterile Vertex is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), high-sorption polyester knit wiper designed for sterile wipe-downs, spill control, and controlled solvent application where edge integrity and wet-step consistency matter. It is produced from 100% continuous-filament polyester knit fabric made in the USA from virgin stock and processed on Texwipe’s Vertex manufacturing system, then supplied pre-wetted with 70% IPA in a controlled, triple-bagged sterile presentation.

Best-seller note: TX3042P is commonly specified when teams want a sterile, validated wipe with predictable wetness, a sealed edge for perimeter control, and high sorption for wipe-downs that double as spill pickup or residue removal.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in contamination-control wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. Its manufacturing approach starts with material selection (including continuous-filament polyester for reduced shedding), then controls conversion and packaging in tightly managed process steps aligned to cleanroom application tiers.

 

For the Vertex platform specifically, Texwipe describes an integrated, hands-free micro-environment process that cleans and converts the wiper with a small physical footprint, supporting lot-to-lot consistency. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing discipline with continuity of supply, clean documentation handoff (certs, lot traceability), and practical application support—so customers can standardize wiping materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

TX3042P Features:
  • High sorption capacity
  • Unique fabric structure for soft feel and high uptake
  • Gamma irradiated in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137
  • Certificates of Processing and Compliance attached to each case
  • Quarterly microbial testing by Agarose Overlay and Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) endotoxin testing
TX3042P Benefits:
  • Fewer wipes for spill control: High sorption can reduce the number of wipes needed for pickup steps (process-dependent)
  • Soft feel for delicate work: Suitable for applications where surface feel and controlled contact matter
  • Sterile assurance: Meets Sterility Assurance Level of 10-6
  • Documentation support: Confirms radiation dose met specified dose at time of receiving (per case documentation)
  • Endotoxin control: Meets FDA guideline for medical device bacterial endotoxin limit of not more than 20 EU/device
Common Applications:
  • Sterile wipe-downs of benches, carts, tools, equipment exteriors, and fixtures
  • Spill control and pickup of process fluids where sterility is required
  • Wet cleaning steps using IPA where consistent saturation improves repeatability
  • Final wipe of parts/trays before staging, transfer, or packaging (per your SOP)
  • Controlled solvent application/removal on stainless steel and other compatible surfaces
Best-Practice Use:
  • Open/close discipline: Reseal the bag immediately after withdrawal to help reduce evaporation and maintain consistent wetness across the pack.
  • Fold for control: Fold into quarters to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to avoid re-depositing contamination.
  • Wet-step control: Let the wiper do the work; avoid over-working one area until the face is loaded or streaking begins.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, leaves streaks/residue, or wetness becomes inconsistent.
  • Safety note: IPA is flammable—follow site EHS controls and store/dispense per your facility requirements.
Selection Notes (TX3042P vs. Other Options)
  • TX3042P vs. TX3049P: Same sterile Vertex family and formulation; choose TX3042P (12" x 12") for broader coverage per wipe, or TX3049P (9" x 9") for tighter work zones and finer control.
  • Pre-wetted vs. dry sterile: If your SOP prefers in-house wetting (or you need different chemistry), consider the sterile Vertex dry options (TX3042 or TX3049) and wet per validated procedure.
  • 12" x 12" pre-wet chemistry variants: If your process specifies ethanol rather than IPA, consider TX3044P (sterile Vertex 12" x 12" pre-wetted 70% ethanol).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe Vertex® (Sterile, Pre-Wetted) Polyester / Sealed Edge / 70% IPA Saturated Sterile Disinfection Prep & Wipe-Down 12" x 12" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3042P Sterile Vertex® 12" x 12" Polyester Sealed-Edge Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA) — controlled wetness for repeatable sterile wipe-downs without field mixing

Texwipe TX3042P Sterile Vertex® is a sterile, 12" x 12" sealed-edge polyester cleanroom wiper supplied pre-wetted with 70% IPA to support standardized cleaning methods where wetness control and repeatability are priorities. Pre-wetted sterile wipes are commonly selected to reduce variability introduced by field wetting, including over-application, inconsistent saturation, and untracked solvent handling. The sealed edge provides an additional perimeter control at the wipe boundary, which can be relevant when cleaning near critical interfaces or when preventing edge fray is a method requirement. The larger 12" x 12" format supports broad coverage while still enabling repeatable fold patterns and one-face-per-pass technique. As with all sterile wipes, outcomes depend on controlled introduction, maintaining package integrity, zone-based cleaning flow, and defined discard triggers tied to residue and surface-quality risk. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal requirements for residues, compatibility, and surface finish sensitivity.

Operations takeaway: TX3042P supports ISO-aligned operations control by fixing a key variable—wetness—at the point of use. In the SOP, define wipe contact pattern, stroke count, dwell expectations (if applicable to your process), and discard triggers so IPA does not become a “smear-and-spread” mechanism.

ISO-first context: where wipers fit in cleanroom operations control

ISO 14644-5:2025 frames cleanroom performance around a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP) that governs personnel practices, material transfer, cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring. Wipers belong in that system because the wipe itself, the chemistry, and the technique directly affect residues, particles, and recontamination risk. If you clean parts, fixtures, tools, or work surfaces inside an ISO-class controlled environment, the method should be written, trained, and repeatable.

Control point: Most “wiper failures” are technique failures—over-wetting, re-wiping with a loaded face, backtracking into clean areas, or using a wiper beyond its change-out point.

Specifications (SKU controls for RFQs, SOPs, and receiving)
  • Product: Texwipe TX3042P Sterile Vertex® 12" x 12" Polyester Sealed-Edge Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA)
  • Size: 12" x 12" (approx. 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm)
  • Material / structure: Polyester cleanroom wiper (verify construction details per manufacturer documentation)
  • Edge construction: Sealed edge (verify current edge spec per manufacturer documentation)
  • Processing: Sterile, cleanroom processed and packaged; lot traceability
  • ISO environment positioning: Process dependent; commonly used for controlled environments (final suitability depends on your method)
  • Packaging: Verify current sterile packaging format and bag/case configuration per manufacturer documentation

Documentation rule: For controlled/validated programs, always base acceptance criteria on current manufacturer documentation and lot records (not web summaries).

What this wiper is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • Standardized sterile wipe-downs where controlled wetness is needed without field mixing or re-wetting.
  • Routine cleaning of benches, carts, equipment exteriors, and staging surfaces using repeatable fold patterns and one-face-per-pass technique.
  • Cleaning near interfaces where sealed-edge perimeter control is part of the method requirement (validate on delicate finishes as needed).
  • Intervention support in aseptic workflows when pre-wetted wipes reduce variability and simplify solvent handling controls.
  • Support cleaning steps where IPA is the approved chemistry and the SOP specifies stroke pattern and discard triggers to control smearing/film.

Method note: Pre-wetted wipes control saturation, but they do not eliminate technique risk. Keep strokes unidirectional, avoid backtracking, and discard promptly once the wipe face becomes loaded. For confined geometries, define the swab method separately (one swab, one area; no re-dipping).

Best-practice use (reduce residues, particles, and rework)
  1. Control introduction: bring wipes into the cleanroom per your OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, and storage).
  2. Use clean-to-less-clean flow: wipe from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest zone; do not backtrack.
  3. Fold for control: fold to create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass, then refold.
  4. Damp-film technique: use the pre-wetted wipe as supplied; do not “top off” unless your SOP allows it.
  5. Straight-line strokes: use consistent pressure and unidirectional strokes; avoid circular scrubbing.
  6. Change-out triggers: discard when loaded, smeary, tacky, or when surface-quality requirements are at risk.

Method standardization tip: If outcomes differ by operator, lock four variables in the SOP: wetness target (fixed here), stroke count, fold pattern, and change-out point.

Misuse controls & when not to use
  • If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe for sterile workflows.
  • If ultra-low residues/ions are gating: confirm requirements against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits.
  • If the surface is easily scratched: validate on delicate finishes; avoid excessive pressure.
  • If chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility and safety for IPA use; do not assume universal compatibility.
Recommended cleanroom glove pairing (ISO-aligned)

For ISO-controlled wiping applications, pair this cleanroom wipe with a cleanroom-processed, low-particle nitrile glove to reduce contamination transfer during handling and routine wipe-downs.

Glove discipline: Change gloves when contaminated, solvent-wet, torn, or after contacting non-controlled surfaces. Treat gloves as part of the wipe system.

Recommended sterile swab pairing (detail cleaning & confined geometries)

For ports, crevices, and recessed features where a wiper cannot maintain contact control, use a sterile cleanroom swab to keep the cleaning method consistent and to reduce accidental contact with critical surfaces.

Swab discipline: Use a strict “one swab, one area” approach for sterile workflows. Do not re-dip; discard immediately if the tip is overloaded or if the swab contacts non-sterile surfaces.
