In sterile and controlled suites, alcohol failures are usually handling failures: over-spraying into seams, inconsistent wetting that leaves streaks, or introducing a “clean” bottle with compromised bag integrity. TX3267 is built to reduce those day-to-day variables by pairing a sterile, 0.2 µm filtered 70% denatured ethanol solution with disciplined packaging (individual double-bagging) and a ready-to-use trigger sprayer that supports repeatable dispensing patterns.

This is also where documentation becomes operational. TX3267 is designed around lot traceability and sterile processing records (Certificates of Irradiation/Processing, Compliance, and Analysis) that support investigation timelines when a facility needs to answer, “Which lot was used on this pass-through cart, glove wipe step, or staging surface?”

Relationship note: For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. That partnership is reflected in continuity of supply, consistent packout, and documentation discipline for audit-facing programs.

• Surface cleaning and residue removal where a sterile alcohol solution is required for the task and the area.
• Wipe-down for pass-through transfer into controlled environments (bins, carts, tool cases, packages, small equipment).
• Glove wipe or gloved-hand wipe-down steps used in sterile suites (on gloves only; not intended as a skin antiseptic).
• Controlled dispensing onto sterile cleanroom wipers to standardize wetting and reduce overspray.

• Sterile, ready-to-use 70% denatured ethanol designed for cleanroom use, packaged in an ISO Class 5 cleanroom.
• 0.2 µm filtration and gamma irradiation to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6.
• Individual double-bagging supports cleaner transfer into sterile areas and reduces handling contamination.
• Trigger sprayer supports stream delivery or coarse spray, enabling controlled wetting patterns.
• Fully lot traceable; each lot tested for endotoxins; COA provided with every lot.
• Each shipment supported by documentation (Certificates of Irradiation/Processing, Compliance, and Analysis).

TX3267 is a sterile 70% denatured ethanol solution supplied in fully assembled 16 oz (473 mL) trigger spray bottles. The solution is filtered through a 0.2 µm filter, filled/packaged in an ISO Class 5 cleanroom, individually double-bagged, and gamma irradiated for sterility assurance.

Denatured ethanol composition detail: Texwipe states that USP-grade ethanol is denatured with USP-grade isopropyl alcohol per U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 27 CFR 21.37 (Formula No. 3-C), and that methanol is not used to make the denatured ethanol. The SDS identifies the mixture as primarily ethanol with a small isopropyl alcohol component, consistent with denaturing intent.

Practical implication: teams that standardize alcohols across a sterile program often select TX3267 when they want ethanol-based cleaning behavior (wetting, evaporation profile, residue performance) in a package format that supports sterility, lot control, and disciplined transfer.

This table focuses on the attributes that drive repeatable outcomes at the bench: format, sterility controls, packout, and traceability.

Ethanol solutions are commonly selected for their cleaning behavior and evaporation profile, especially where a fast-drying alcohol is preferred for wipe-down workflows and transfer steps. TX3267 is positioned for sterile programs that want the alcohol step to be controlled, documented, and repeatable.

Operational note: alcohol wipe-down success depends on technique, not just chemistry. If the surface flashes dry before residues are lifted, you can get “clean-looking” streaks that fail inspection later. Standardizing how you wet the wiper, how you manage wipe-face rotation, and how you finish edges/corners is typically more impactful than changing brands.

• Packaging discipline: Individually double-bagged; 12 bottles per case (16 oz trigger spray bottles).
• Sterility: Gamma irradiated to SAL 10^-6; sterile validation documentation available upon request.
• Traceability: Individually lot coded; each lot tested for endotoxins; Certificate of Analysis provided with every lot.
• Documentation package: Certificates of Compliance, Analysis, and Processing/Irradiation are available (and commonly used as receiving evidence in regulated programs).
• Country of origin: Made in USA (published on the TDS).
• Shipping: Consumer Commodity ORM-D on SOSCleanroom listing; plan ground-only transit and replenishment accordingly.

The goal with sterile alcohol use is controlled coverage without driving contaminants into seams or spreading them across a wider area. The most repeatable approach is to treat TX3267 as a dispensing control, then let your wipe technique do the cleaning.

Validation note: The “right” wipe-down method is the one that matches your surfaces, residues, and inspection method. If you rely on visual inspection, TOC, NVR, or particle counts, qualify the wipe sequence and define acceptance criteria in your quality system.

• Streaking and “clean haze”: Often caused by using an overloaded wipe face, wiping too large an area with one face, or allowing dissolved residue to dry at wipe boundaries.
• Overspray into seams/threads: Spraying directly onto complex assemblies can drive alcohol (and dissolved soils) into crevices where they reappear later.
• Nozzle cross-contact: Touching the nozzle to a surface transfers contamination to the dispenser path and spreads it to future wipe-downs.
• Incorrect transfer practice: Bringing a bottle in with compromised bagging or skipping receiving checks defeats the purpose of sterile packaging controls.
• Safety drift: Using alcohol near ignition sources, without ventilation, or without eye protection is a common, preventable incident pathway (and a frequent audit observation).

In sterile ethanol trigger sprays, meaningful differences are typically in sterile processing controls (validation records, SAL claim support), packaging discipline (double-bagging), and traceability/lot documentation—more than the headline “70% ethanol” label. Compare receiving documentation completeness and whether each unit is lot coded and supported by processing certificates.

• Decon Labs Sanihol ST 8116 Sterile 70% Ethanol (denatured) 16 oz: Similar use category and bottle format; verify sterile processing method, packout, and lot-documentation package to match your QA expectations.
• Other sterile 70% ethanol cleanroom trigger sprays from contamination-control suppliers: Often comparable on chemistry; confirm ISO cleanroom filling, filtration claim, packaging configuration, and certificate availability.
• Bulk sterile alcohols with in-house decanting: Can increase handling and variability risk; most facilities see higher deviation rates when bottles are refilled or sprayers are assembled in-house without controlled packaging.

TX3267 is recommended for ISO Class 3–8 environments (Class 1–100,000; EU Grade A–D) and is presented as meeting USP <797> and USP <800> requirements in Texwipe’s technical data sheet. It is commonly positioned for sterile suites, compounding pharmacy workflows, and controlled transfer steps where sterile-packaged alcohol supports disciplined surface wipe-down.

Important boundary: a sterile alcohol solution supports cleaning and controlled wipe-down steps, but facilities should not treat a general alcohol wipe as a stand-in for a validated disinfectant or sporicidal rotation plan. Align usage to your contamination-control strategy, environmental monitoring trends, and cleaning validation logic.
