Texwipe TX8415 AlphaSat® with Vectra® Alpha® 10 - 9" x 9" Sealed-Border Polyester Cleanroom Wipers - Pre-Wetted 6% IPA / 94% DIW - 50/Bag - 600/Case
Texwipe TX8415 AlphaSat® with Vectra® Alpha® 10 is a premium non-sterile, pre-wetted cleanroom wiper manufactured from 100% polyester with sealed-border construction. Developed for critical cleaning applications, TX8415 combines Texwipe's automated Vectra® cleaning process with a factory-prepared 6% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 94% deionized water (DIW) solution to support consistent wiping while minimizing unwanted particle, fiber, ionic, and nonvolatile-residue contributions.
Each nominal 9" x 9" wiper uses a cleanroom-processed polyester substrate with sealed borders that help minimize fiber release along the perimeter. Texwipe's automated Vectra® cleaning technology reduces removable contamination from the substrate and supports applications where the cleanliness of the wiping material is an important part of the overall contamination-control program.
TX8415 is factory pre-wetted with 6% semiconductor-grade IPA and 94% DIW. The manufacturer identifies the solution as filtered to 0.2 µm before packaging. This ready-to-use presentation reduces the need for manually mixing alcohol solutions, wetting individual dry wipers, or applying free liquid directly to sensitive work surfaces.
The 6% IPA formulation is intended for qualified cleaning procedures that specify a predominantly water-based solution with a lower alcohol concentration than traditional 70% IPA wipes. It can be useful for collecting compatible particulate contamination, light handling residues, and water-compatible soils where the surface and cleaning procedure permit this formulation.
TX8415 is not interchangeable with 70% IPA products solely because both contain isopropyl alcohol. The different concentrations can affect evaporation, drying characteristics, residue removal, and process suitability. The 6% IPA formulation should not be represented as having the same validated antimicrobial activity or disinfection contact time as a separately qualified disinfectant.
Texwipe identifies TX8415 for ISO Classes 2 through 7 and EU GMP Grades A through D. These designations represent the manufacturer's intended wiper application range. They do not establish sterility, certify a cleanroom classification, or replace the facility's own material qualification and cleaning procedures.
TX8415 is supplied in reclosable slider bags containing 50 pre-wetted wipers each. A manufacturer case contains 12 bags, totaling 600 individual wipers. SOSCleanroom offers TX8415 by the individual bag or full manufacturer case. The reclosable package helps reduce solution evaporation and protect unused wipes between dispensing events when properly handled.
Critical Cleaning Advantage: TX8415 combines sealed-border 100% polyester, automated Vectra® cleaning, and factory-prepared 6% IPA / 94% DIW. Its low-linting construction, controlled pre-wetting, and 50-count reclosable bags support repeatable surface cleaning where substrate cleanliness, reduced manual solvent handling, and defined cleaning chemistry are important.

Sealed-Border Polyester and Vectra® Processing:
TX8415 uses Vectra® Alpha® 10, a sealed-border 100% polyester substrate cleaned through Texwipe's automated Vectra® process. This construction differs from general-purpose cut-edge polyester wipes and is designed for applications requiring tighter control of material-derived contamination.
- 100% Polyester: Provides mechanical durability and consistent wiping contact on compatible surfaces.
- Sealed Borders: Reduce exposed fiber ends along the wiper edges.
- Vectra® Cleaning: Helps remove particles, fibers, ions, and nonvolatile residues before packaging.
- Low Particle Design: Supports contamination-sensitive operations when qualified for the process.
- Mechanical Strength: Resists normal snagging and abrasion on compatible surfaces.
- Edge Containment: Sealed borders can be advantageous where cut-edge shedding is a concern.
- Surface Compatibility: Confirm the polyester substrate and cleaning chemistry are suitable for equipment finishes and materials.
- Process Qualification: Compare typical manufacturer cleanliness data with applicable particle, fiber, ionic, and residue acceptance criteria.
Material Selection Guidance: TX8415 uses sealed-border Vectra® polyester rather than ordinary cut-edge AlphaWipe®. The distinction can matter when controlling fiber release and removable contamination, but final suitability must be established under the actual cleaning procedure.
6% IPA / 94% DIW Chemistry and Comparison with 70% IPA:
TX8415 uses semiconductor-grade 6% IPA and 94% DIW. Its predominantly water-based formulation provides different cleaning and evaporation characteristics from 70% IPA and 100% IPA products. Selection should follow the approved process rather than assuming alcohol-containing wipes are interchangeable.

- Controlled Chemistry: Manufacturer-prepared solution reduces manual dilution steps.
- Filtered Solution: The wetting solution is filtered to 0.2 µm.
- Low IPA Concentration: Suitable only where 6% IPA / 94% DIW meets the approved cleaning requirements.
- Water-Sensitive Surfaces: Evaluate possible water spotting, corrosion, and drying behavior.
- Residue Removal: Confirm cleaning effectiveness for the actual contaminant and surface.
- No Automatic Disinfection Claim: Do not assign a validated microbial contact time based solely on the nominal concentration.
- Non-Sterile Supply: Filtered wetting solution does not make the finished wiper sterile.
- Flammability: The lower IPA concentration does not eliminate the finished product's SDS flammable-solid classification.
Important Chemistry Distinction: TX8415 is a 6% IPA cleaning wiper, not a substitute for a qualified 70% IPA disinfection procedure, sterile alcohol wipe, or sporicidal treatment. Evaluate the specific cleaning objective, surface compatibility, drying requirements, and approved process before selecting a concentration.
Recommended Contamination-Control Wiping Procedure:
Consistent cleaning depends on more than the wiper's construction and chemistry. Operators should follow a documented wiping procedure appropriate for the environment, contamination burden, and required final surface condition.
- Confirm Product Qualification: Verify TX8415 is approved for the surface, procedure, and cleanroom application.
- Inspect the Package: Check the SKU, lot, expiration date, and package condition.
- Prepare the Work Area: Follow the site's contamination-control and material-introduction requirements.
- Use Appropriate PPE: Wear approved cleanroom gloves and task-specific protective equipment.
- Open the Bag Carefully: Open the slider only enough to dispense the required wiper.
- Protect Unused Wipers: Avoid touching the remaining contents with contaminated gloves.
- Reseal Immediately: Close the bag to help limit evaporation and environmental exposure.
- Fold for Control: Create manageable clean wiping faces where the approved SOP permits.
- Apply Controlled Strokes: Use straight, overlapping passes in the prescribed cleaning direction.
- Maintain Suitable Pressure: Avoid aggressive abrasion, unnecessary scrubbing, or damage to sensitive finishes.
- Change Wiping Faces: Avoid redepositing collected soils and particles on cleaned surfaces.
- Observe Drying Requirements: Follow the SOP's specified surface condition before resuming production.
- Replace When Necessary: Discard wipes that become soiled, damaged, or inadequately wetted.
- Do Not Reuse: Never return a used wiper to the original bag.
- Document Cleaning: Record the relevant activity, equipment, operator, and material information when required.
Wiping Guidance: Use a qualified cleaning pattern and replacement frequency rather than assuming a fixed number of passes or square feet per wipe. A lower-alcohol formula may dry differently, so the required surface condition and subsequent process steps should be established in the SOP.
Reclosable Packaging and Evaporation Control:
The TX8415 slider-bag package helps maintain the pre-wetted condition of the remaining wipes during dispensing. Poor closure, extended exposure to air, improper storage, and contamination of the opening can affect the condition of unused material.
- Minimize Open Time: Open only when a wipe is needed.
- Close the Slider Fully: Verify the complete closure after dispensing.
- Protect the Opening: Avoid contact with contaminated surfaces and tools.
- Limit Excessive Heat: Do not place packages near heat or ignition sources.
- Inspect Wetness: Do not continue using unexpectedly dry or compromised wipes.
- Avoid Unapproved Re-Wetting: Added liquid can change the manufacturer-prepared condition.
- Follow Open-Pack Limits: Apply the facility's approved in-use period.
- Preserve Identification: Maintain product and lot traceability when required.
