Texwipe TX5831 TexWrite Medium-Weight 8.5" x 11" Green Cleanroom Paper

Shown: Texwipe TX5831 TexWrite® 22 green loose sheets (8.5" x 11").

In controlled environments, ordinary office paper can quietly become a contamination source: torn edges release fibers, mineral fillers can contribute ionic background, and powdery surfaces can shed when rubbed against gloves, carts, or stainless workstations. TX5831 (TexWrite® 22, green) is designed for documentation where legibility and traceability matter, but the paperwork itself cannot be allowed to become the problem. It is reinforced with a synthetic copolymer and cleanroom packaged, with the manufacturer specifically positioning it to reduce particle generation compared with standard papers.

• Cleanroom manuals, work instructions, and controlled copies stored near the point of use.
• Batch records, travelers, log sheets, and maintenance checklists where pages are handled repeatedly.
• High-speed laser printers and photocopiers for controlled document sets and shift packets.
• Color-based visual management (green) to support line clearance, shift segregation, or area/project differentiation.

• Cleanroom paper system intent: reduced particle-generation risk versus ordinary paper, reinforced with a synthetic copolymer.
• Color control: green sheets help distinguish cleanroom documentation and reduce mix-ups during line clearance and room transitions.
• Printer/photocopier compatibility: manufacturer lists strong heat resistance and excellent toner adhesion for laser/photocopy workflows.
• Lower ionic background approach: formulated without inorganic fillers that can contribute to ionic contamination, per manufacturer documentation.
• Cleanroom packaged for controlled introduction into critical areas and for better receiving/inspection discipline.

Manufacturer documentation describes TexWrite® 22 as cellulose paper with a polymer reinforcement (synthetic copolymer saturant). The reinforcement is intended to reduce particle generation associated with standard papers, while maintaining strength and heat resistance for laser printers and photocopiers.

A key contamination-control point is the formulation approach: the manufacturer states TexWrite® is made without inorganic fillers such as calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, or aluminum silicate that can be a source of ionic contamination. Precision-cut edges are called out as a feature to reduce edge shedding and help maintain dimensional stability for clear reproductions.

Stationery failures in critical environments rarely announce themselves as “paper issues.” They show up as unexplained particles on an adjacent work surface, toner dust on gloves, fibers on stainless, or a slow drift in ionic background that complicates troubleshooting. TexWrite® is positioned specifically to address those mechanisms: polymer reinforcement to reduce shedding, precision-cut edges to reduce edge fiber release, and a formulation approach that avoids inorganic fillers that can contribute to ionic contamination.

For programs that track contamination quantitatively, Texwipe publishes typical cleanliness metrics for TexWrite® 22 (including particles >0.5 µm and ion extractables such as sodium and chloride). Treat those values as typical analyses (not specifications) and align them to your internal acceptance limits, inspection methods, and investigation triggers.

• Packaging: 250 sheets per pack; 10 packs per case (2,500 sheets total), as published by the manufacturer and SOSCleanroom.
• Sterility: Not published as sterile for TX5831 in the cited source basis. Manufacturer states TexWrite® loose leaf sheets are cleanroom packaged and notes “autoclavable” in published documentation; confirm your sterility intent and qualification pathway internally.
• Traceability: Cleanroom stationery is often treated as “minor” material until a documentation discrepancy or contamination event requires lot-level reconstruction. At receiving, capture case labels/identifiers, store packs intact until use, and keep a sample label/pack information with your batch record when paper is used for controlled documentation sets.
• Country of origin: Made in USA (manufacturer-published in the cited Technical Data Sheet).
• Program continuity 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. For documentation-control consumables, that relationship matters: continuity of supply and consistent manufacturer documentation reduce churn in validated or audit-sensitive programs.

• Introduce it like a cleanroom material: Bring sealed packs into the room per your gowning/material transfer practice. Open packs only in the intended area, not in a corridor where airflow and traffic can load the paper surface.
• Control where paper lives: Store paper in a closed cabinet or labeled bin (not on an open cart). Paper left uncovered becomes a passive collector for particles, then becomes an active shedder when handled.
• Printer discipline: If you print controlled sets in-room, keep the printer area “dry” (no spray-and-wipe cleaning adjacent to open trays). If prints must be handled after wipe-downs, allow surfaces to dry first to reduce toner smear transfer.
• Line clearance: Use the green color intentionally. Many teams stage “cleanroom-only” paper in green to prevent mix-ups with office paper during shift change and room transitions. Pair the color cue with a simple receiving check: correct color, correct part number, correct packaging count.
• Autoclave claims require discipline: Manufacturer literature lists TexWrite® as autoclavable and references additional guidance. If you autoclave documentation paper, qualify the process for your autoclave cycle, ink/toner behavior, legibility, and any page deformation that could affect copying/scanning.
• Solvent exposure: The source basis does not publish solvent-resistance performance for writing media on TX5831. If documentation may be exposed to IPA/ethanol/quats, validate your pen/marker/toner choice and dry time under your actual wipe-down conditions before deploying broadly.

• Edge shedding from rough handling: tearing stacks, sliding sheets across textured gloves, or storing packs partly open can increase fiber/particle release.
• Toner or graphite transfer: stacking freshly printed sheets or rubbing against garments/gloves can move toner dust onto gloves and then onto stainless or tooling.
• Smear/legibility loss after wipe-down events: moisture and cleaning chemistry can smear many inks and can also disturb toner if the sheet is abraded while damp. The source basis does not publish chemical-resistance guarantees for markings on TX5831.
• Color-control drift: green paper used inconsistently (or swapped with office paper) breaks line-clearance intent. Treat color as a controlled attribute and train teams on what green indicates in your program.
• Unqualified autoclave use: paper distortion, curl, or post-cycle legibility changes can create documentation risk unless the method is qualified for your cycle and chosen writing media.

In cleanroom stationery, “equivalent” should be evaluated with published contamination data, packaging discipline, and environmental guidance—not just sheet size and color. The most useful comparison points are: (1) published particle and ion extractables data, (2) cleanroom environment recommendations, (3) packaging configuration and receiving traceability, and (4) performance in laser/photocopy workflows (toner adhesion and heat resistance).

• Berkshire cleanroom documentation paper (compare on published cleanliness metrics, packaging, and ISO guidance).
• Valutek cleanroom paper sheets (compare on published ion/particle data and packaging/traceability approach).
• Contec/Ansell cleanroom documentation paper options (compare on environmental guidance and published contamination performance).

Manufacturer guidance places TexWrite® loose leaf sheets in ISO Class 3–8 environments (and legacy Class 1–100,000) and EU Grade A–D. That range maps well to common documentation touchpoints in pharmaceutical/biologics operations, medical device assembly, microelectronics, aerospace/optics, and controlled maintenance areas where paperwork and printouts must be present without becoming an uncontrolled contamination source.

Selection caution: TX5831 is a cellulose-based paper with polymer reinforcement. For processes that explicitly prohibit cellulose in the most ultraclean zones, align the paper choice to your facility’s material restrictions and risk assessment. If your paper is used at the point of exposure (open product, open critical surfaces), treat the document pathway like any other material pathway: specify where it may enter, how it is staged, and how it is removed during line clearance.
