When a cleanroom team needs a consistent, audit-friendly way to remove light residues and reduce day-to-day film buildup on compatible hard surfaces, a ready-to-use 70% isopropyl alcohol trigger spray is often the “workhorse” format. Texwipe TX167 is built for repeatability: fixed chemistry (70% IPA / 30% purified water), submicron filtration, cleaned containers, double-bag packaging, and lot coding with an expiration date for traceable use in controlled environments.

SOSCleanroom supports these programs with continuity of supply and practical selection guidance—especially when sites are balancing wipe-down consistency, documentation discipline, and ground-shipping constraints for flammables.

• Routine wipe-down of compatible, non-porous benches, carts, pass-through trays, and fixtures.
• Residue lifting and removal where low-residue evaporation is preferred (confirm with your acceptance criteria and surface compatibility).
• Pre-wetting low-linting cleanroom wipers to standardize wetting volume and reduce open-container pouring.
• Non-sterile controlled-environment programs where sterile packaging and irradiation documentation are not required.

• Point-of-use control: Trigger spray reduces “free-pour” variability and helps standardize wipe wetting.
• Cleanliness design intent: 0.2 µm filtration and packaging into cleaned containers supports controlled-environment handling expectations.
• Audit-friendly traceability: Lot coding and expiration marking simplify logs, receiving checks, and investigations.
• Reduced handling: Fully assembled, ready-to-use sprayer eliminates assembly steps at the point of use.
• Right-fit economics for non-sterile programs: Customers often select TX167 when sterile documentation is not required, while still wanting controlled packaging and documented product characteristics.

TX167 is a ready-to-use blend of 70% by volume USP-grade isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) and 30% USP-purified water. The solution is 0.2 µm filtered and packaged into cleaned containers. The 16 fl oz (473 mL) format is supplied as a fully assembled trigger-spray bottle designed to deliver either a more controlled stream or a broader coarse spray pattern.

Packaging is double-bagged in solvent-safe bags and labeled for lot traceability, including an expiration date. (Non-sterile: sterile assurance level and irradiation documentation are not part of this SKU’s intent.)

In practical wipe-down workflows, 70% IPA is commonly selected because it wets and lifts many light residues while evaporating quickly, supporting low visible streaking when paired with compatible surfaces and disciplined wipe technique. The manufacturer’s typical NVR limit (≤ 0.01%) and submicron filtration are intended to support low-residue expectations in controlled environments.

Important operational reality: IPA is frequently used as a routine cleaner and as part of broader disinfection strategies, but it is not a “one-bottle answer” for every contamination risk. Your facility should define where TX167 fits in the rotation (cleaning vs. disinfection), what “wet contact” expectations apply, and what acceptance criteria must be met for the specific surface and process.

• Packaging: Filled into cleaned containers; double-bagged in solvent-safe bags; fully assembled trigger sprayer.
• Sterility: Non-sterile (use sterile alternatives when your program requires sterile packaging/irradiation documentation).
• Traceability: Lot coded; expiration date marked; CoC/CoA available per lot (per manufacturer documentation).
• Receiving/QA cues: Verify intact outer/inner bags, legible lot/expiry, and that the sprayer is seated and not leaking. Quarantine any case with solvent odor, bag tears, or missing traceability marks.
• Country of origin: Not stated in the source basis for this SKU.

Below is a practical technique module for point-of-use trigger sprays in controlled environments. Adapt it to your material compatibility list, surface types, and documented acceptance criteria.

1. Control overspray in sensitive areas: For critical work, spray onto a compatible low-linting cleanroom wiper first rather than spraying directly at the surface. This reduces airborne droplets and helps keep “wetting volume” consistent.
2. Use wipe-pattern discipline: Wipe in straight-line, overlapping passes from clean-to-less-clean. Rotate to a fresh wipe face frequently to avoid re-depositing what you just lifted.
3. Choose stream vs. coarse spray intentionally: Stream delivery is typically preferred for precise wetting (labels, tight fixtures, small panels). Coarse spray can be used to pre-wet larger areas, followed by immediate controlled wiping.
4. Avoid uncontrolled transfers: Do not decant into unqualified secondary bottles. If your site uses secondary containers, ensure they are validated, labeled, and tied to the original lot/expiry per your quality system.
5. Keep it closed and staged correctly: Close the sprayer between uses, store per flammable/solvent rules, and keep away from hot surfaces and ignition sources.
6. Document what matters: For audits and investigations, record lot number, expiry, area-of-use, and any deviations (leak, bag damage, odor, visible residue) so corrective actions can be tied to traceability.

• Overspray and aerosol management: Spraying into airflow or at a distance can create droplets that drift and land where you do not want them.
• Re-deposition from poor wipe discipline: Re-using the same wipe face spreads residues instead of removing them.
• Material incompatibility: Some plastics, coatings, inks, elastomers, and adhesives can haze, swell, or delaminate—confirm compatibility before broad deployment.
• Using an expired or untraceable bottle: Missing lot/expiry breaks audit trails and can undermine program control even if the bottle “looks fine.”
• Treating IPA as the entire contamination-control program: IPA may not address every bioburden and residue risk; align use with your validated cleaning/disinfection strategy.

• Decon Labs CiDehol® 70 (16 oz trigger spray): Another commonly used 70% IPA trigger format for controlled-environment and lab wipe-downs; often selected where teams want a ready-to-use spray with documented characteristics and common refill-size options.
• Ecolab Klercide™ 70/30 IPA (sterile program alternative): A sterile-oriented 70/30 IPA spray family often positioned for critical-area disinfection workflows where sterile assurance and packaging systems are key decision drivers (not a direct “non-sterile like-for-like,” but frequently compared during program selection).

TX167 is typically best suited for non-sterile controlled-environment cleaning steps—benches, carts, pass-through prep, and routine wipe-downs—where teams want repeatable wetting and traceability without sterile documentation requirements. Manufacturer documentation for the IPA solutions family references use across common cleanroom classifications (including ISO Class 5–8 contexts), but your site’s sterility and area-entry rules should dictate whether a non-sterile alcohol is permissible in any given room or zone.

If your process requires sterile assurance, sterile packaging, or documented irradiation/sterility validation, select a sterile alternative and align it with your gowning, transfer, and disinfection procedures.
