TPR Series (KO-GO™) LDPE backing Synthetic rubber adhesive 1" x 36 yds Blue Press-and-seal cleanroom bags 48 rolls / case Made in the USA

Product overview
Texwipe KO-GO™ TPR cleanroom tape uses a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) backing with a synthetic rubber adhesive to deliver quick tack with moderate adhesion for cleanroom marking, identification, surface protection, and sealing/packaging tasks. The construction is designed to be low in halogens, leachable chlorides, and heavy metals for customers who are controlling extractables and residues in critical environments.
Why cleanroom tape is different
Tape is often introduced repeatedly, touched frequently, and applied directly to carts, tools, containers, and packaging. In a controlled environment, that means the packaging method, lot control, and adhesive behavior matter as much as basic adhesion.

Why customers choose TPR1048BL
  • Quick tack, moderate adhesion: Bonds quickly for efficient workflow, while helping reduce the risk of over-aggressive adhesion when removal or repositioning is needed.
  • Conformable LDPE backing: Helps seal compound/irregular surfaces and packaging materials without fighting the tape during application.
  • Cleanroom bagging convenience: Packaged in reusable press-and-seal cleanroom bags to support cleaner introductions and point-of-use handling discipline.
  • Low-halogen / low-leachable intent: Designed to be low in halogens, leachable chlorides, and heavy metals for contamination-control programs that track residues and extractables.
  • Color coding and identification: Blue tape supports visual controls (tools, carts, work zones, status labeling) that reduce mix-ups in high-activity spaces.

Recommended applications
  • PVC/rubber tape replacement where cleaner packaging and controlled-environment handling are expected
  • Asset identification (carts, bins, racks, tools, fixtures)
  • Surface protection (temporary protection during transfer, staging, or setup)
  • Color coding and visual management (zone marking, status labeling, kit identification)
  • Cleanroom build and controlled construction activities (temporary sealing, protection, and labeling)
Practical handling note: For best contamination control, open the outer bag outside the clean area, introduce the inner press-and-seal bag per your material transfer process, and only remove rolls at point of use to minimize unnecessary handling.

Cleanroom program guidance (U.S. first, global context second)
In U.S.-based controlled environments, tape is often treated as a high-frequency “touch item” that can quietly drive residue transfer and particle redistribution if it is not managed like other consumables. Strong programs define: (1) where tape is allowed, (2) how rolls are introduced (outer bag removal, inner bag transfer), (3) where tape is staged, and (4) how adhesive-contact surfaces are cleaned after removal. ISO 14644 terminology is commonly used for classification language, while internal quality systems and risk-based controls drive day-to-day practice.
As a secondary/global benchmark, EU GMP Annex 1 reinforces contamination control strategy (CCS) thinking around material transfer, packaging integrity, and traceability. Even outside sterile manufacture, Annex 1 principles can be a useful lens: reduce unnecessary items in critical areas, standardize introductions, and maintain documentation discipline for investigations and continuous improvement—without treating Annex 1 as a U.S. legal requirement.

Build a best-in-class consumables set around clean labeling and clean cleanup
Tape is only half the story—the other half is what happens after tape use (adhesive contact, wipe-down, and residue control). Pair cleanroom tape with the right wiping and swabbing tools so the adhesive does not become an untracked contamination vector.
SOSCleanroom + Texwipe partnership advantage
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 relationship matters for customers who want consistent product identification, documentation support, and continuity of supply across tapes, wipers, swabs, and cleaning systems.
Common add-ons for tape workflows include low-linting polyester wipers for wipe-down after tape removal (note: no wiper is truly lint-free) and cleanroom swabs for tight areas where adhesive residue can hide around fasteners, crevices, and corners.

About Texwipe and SOSCleanroom supply confidence
ITW Texwipe is a worldwide leader in contamination control supplies and critical cleaning products across cleanroom wipers, swabs, stationery, adhesive mats, and tape systems. In controlled environments, the difference is rarely a single feature—it is consistency: packaging discipline, lot control, and predictable performance that supports qualification and long-term standardization.
SOSCleanroom supports customers who need dependable, best-in-class cleanroom consumables with fast shipping, excellent customer service, fair pricing, and continuity of supply backed by decades serving controlled environments.

Texwipe® KO-GO™ TPR Cleanroom Tape — LDPE Backing with Synthetic Rubber Adhesive (Quick Tack, Moderate Adhesion), Cleanroom Bagged & Lot-Control Friendly
LDPE backing Synthetic rubber adhesive Quick tack / moderate adhesion Cleanroom bagged Low halogens / low leachables intent Color coding Non-sterile

1. Practical solutions in a critical environment

Tape is introduced frequently, touched constantly, and applied directly to assets, packaging, and temporary barriers. In a controlled environment, that makes tape a contamination-control item and a documentation-control item. The practical objective is not just “stickiness” — it is predictable behavior: quick bond when you need it, controlled adhesion when you need to reposition or remove, and packaging that supports disciplined introduction.

Texwipe KO-GO™ TPR tape is positioned for programs that want quick tack with moderate adhesion and a construction described as low in halogens, leachable chlorides, and heavy metals — particularly useful where residues/extractables are tracked and where uncontrolled tapes are a recurring deviation driver.


2. What this tape is for
  • Marking and identification (tools, carts, totes, bins, racks, work cells)
  • Sealing and packaging tasks (bag closure, overwrap, liner sealing, kitting)
  • Surface protection and temporary holds during assembly, inspection, and staging
  • Color coding programs to reduce mix-ups in high-activity areas
  • PVC/rubber tape replacement where LDPE conformability is preferred

3. Selection rationale
  • Quick tack, moderate adhesion: Bonds quickly for workflow efficiency while supporting repositioning/removal where required.
  • Conformable LDPE backing: Seals and protects irregular surfaces and flexible packaging materials without fighting the tape during application.
  • Chemistry control intent: Construction is described as low in halogens, leachable chlorides, and heavy metals for residue-sensitive programs.
  • Cleanroom bagging convenience: Packaged in reusable press-and-seal cleanroom bags to support cleaner introductions and point-of-use handling discipline.
  • Visual controls: Multiple colors enable color-coding systems that reduce misidentification and handling errors.
SOSCleanroom selection philosophy
The tape is only half the control. Standardize the tape station: approved tape, approved surface prep, approved writing tool, and a defined dwell-time/removal practice. That is how you prevent residue surprises and “random tape” workarounds.

4. Materials and construction
  • Backing: Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
  • Adhesive: Synthetic rubber
  • Core: 3" HDPE core (KO-GO datasheet basis)
  • Packaging: Reusable press-and-seal cleanroom bags (KO-GO datasheet basis)
  • Sterility: Non-sterile tape product

5. Specifications in context

Tape performance in cleanrooms is a system outcome: surface condition, pressure/burnish, dwell time, removal technique, and chemical exposure. KO-GO™ TPR tape is designed to bond quickly, but disciplined handling is what prevents edge lift and residue events.

Specification Value Operational meaning
Backing / adhesive LDPE / Synthetic rubber Conformable tape with quick bond behavior for marking, protection, and sealing tasks.
Adhesion profile Quick tack; moderate adhesion (program intent) Supports efficient workflow while reducing over-aggressive adhesion when repositioning/removal is needed.
Packaging method Press-and-seal cleanroom bags Supports cleaner introduction and the ability to reseal between uses (reduces exposure).
Chemistry positioning Low halogens / low leachable chlorides / low heavy metals (datasheet intent) Helpful where residues/extractables are monitored; validate vs. your requirements.
Sterility Non-sterile Control introduction and storage per facility SOP.

Practical note: If residue shows at removal, first evaluate dwell time + surface chemistry exposure + removal technique before changing tape families.


6. Cleanliness metrics

KO-GO™ TPR tape is designed for cleanrooms and critical environments and is uniquely packaged in reusable press-and-seal cleanroom bags (datasheet basis). In practice, cleanliness outcomes depend heavily on roll exposure control and operator touch points.

Practical note: Keep tape rolls covered between uses and avoid touching adhesive edges. Those two controls eliminate most tape-station contamination issues.


7. Packaging, sterility, and traceability
  • Sterility: Non-sterile tape product
  • Packaging discipline: Reusable press-and-seal cleanroom bags support reseal between uses (reduce exposure and handling contamination)
  • Traceability: Control part number/lot at receiving and at point-of-use per your quality system

8. Best-practice use
Customer SOP disclaimer
This guidance is provided as a suggested starting point for customer SOP development and operator training. Every facility and process is different. Customers must evaluate risk, validate procedures, and obtain appropriate QA approval before implementation.
  • Prep before tape: Apply to clean, dry surfaces. Films and moisture drive lift and poor bond-line performance.
  • Burnish edges: Use consistent pressure, especially on textured bags/liners and curved assets.
  • Control dwell time: Define time-in-place limits for temporary holds to reduce residue risk.
  • Reseal the bag: Return rolls to the press-and-seal cleanroom bag between uses to limit exposure.
Suggested pairings: station items that improve adhesion consistency and traceability
These pairings reduce the two most common causes of tape failures: poor surface condition and uncontrolled handling/writing tools at the tape station.
Use case Recommended item Why it pairs well
Surface prep before marking/sealing Texwipe TX1009 AlphaWipe® 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper Removes films and dust that drive edge lift and inconsistent adhesion at the bond line.
Detail cleaning on seams/edges where lift starts Texwipe TX761 Alpha Polyester Cleanroom Swab (Long Handle) Improves coverage in tight geometries (edges, corners, seams) where residues persist under tape edges.
Operator handling control at tape stations Ansell 93-311 Nitrilite™ Cleanroom Nitrile Gloves (ISO 5 / Class 100) Reduces oil transfer and uncontrolled touch points on adhesive and packaging surfaces.
Controlled writing for tape flags and status notes Cleanroom Pens (Black or Blue) Prevents office pens from entering controlled areas and supports consistent documentation practices.
Durable marking where a pen is not sufficient Cleanroom Irradiated Sharpie Markers Provides a controlled marker option for quick identification on tape and packaging.
When a tape mark should become a structured label Texwipe TX532 Cleanroom Labels (3" x 2") Improves traceability with defined fields and cleaner presentation vs. tape notes.
Guardrail: Validate tape behavior under your disinfectant chemistry and dwell-time requirements. Chemical exposure + time-in-place drives most residue and lift events.

9. Common failure modes
  • Edge lift on bags/liners: Usually surface moisture/films or insufficient burnish pressure.
  • Residue at removal: Often driven by long dwell time, chemistry exposure, or aggressive removal technique; define dwell limits and removal method.
  • Station contamination: Tape rolls left exposed or adhesive edges touched during use.
  • Program drift: Multiple uncontrolled tape types appear over time; control purchasing and point-of-use stocking.

10. Other tapes and labels to consider

Programs typically standardize multiple tape families: one for sealing/masking, one for facility marking, and labels for structured traceability.


11. Program fit for regulated cleanrooms
  • Contamination control: Cleanroom packaging and chemistry-control intent support residue-sensitive programs when combined with station discipline.
  • Operational consistency: Quick tack reduces rework time during sealing/marking tasks and helps standardize operator technique.
  • Audit readiness: Reduces “unknown tape” substitutions when the tape family is controlled, documented, and consistently stocked.
