Texwipe TX5815 TexWrite Medium-Weight 8.5" x 11" White Cleanroom Paper

Paper can be a quiet contamination source in controlled environments. Conventional bond paper can shed particles and fibers at the edges, generate paper dust during printer feeding, and carry higher ionic contributors from fillers. TX5815 is positioned for documentation work where you still need day-to-day usability (printing, copying, manual markups), but want a cleaner, more consistent sheet for controlled handling.

Practical reality: no paper is truly “lint-free.” The goal is reduced particle and fiber generation, controlled composition (no inorganic fillers called out by the manufacturer), and predictable behavior in printers and photocopiers so documentation does not become a contamination event.

• Printing and copying in controlled environments (standard-duty and high-speed laser printers and photocopiers).
• Cleanroom manuals, work instructions, travelers, batch documentation inserts, and controlled reference sheets.
• Offset printing workflows where a cleaner substrate is required (manufacturer-stated application).
• General note taking and data transfer inside controlled environments, including facilities and maintenance documentation.

• Formulated without inorganic fillers (e.g., calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, aluminum silicate), reducing a common driver of ionic contamination.
• Synthetic copolymer reinforcement intended to reduce particle generation versus standard bond paper.
• Heat resistance and toner adhesion intended for dependable print quality and fewer smudge-related handling failures.
• Precision-cut edges and dimensional stability supporting cleaner handling and clearer reproductions.
• Autoclavable (manufacturer states autoclavable guidance; qualification remains the customer’s responsibility).

TX5815 is a cellulose-based bond paper with a polymer reinforcement (TexWrite® 22). Texwipe describes the reinforcement as a synthetic copolymer saturant that helps reduce particle generation. The manufacturer also states the product is formulated without inorganic fillers that can contribute to ionic contamination and that it contains no natural latex binders.

Handling cue that matters in the cleanroom: edge quality drives fallout. Precision-cut edges reduce the “paper fuzz” you can see under bench lighting when stacks are repeatedly picked, shuffled, or loaded into trays. If you see feathering on edges after rough handling (drops, compression, aggressive fan-out), treat that stack as a higher-risk source.

This table consolidates published attributes for TX5815 from the SOSCleanroom listing and Texwipe technical data sheet. If a detail is not explicitly stated in the source basis, it is marked as not published.

With cleanroom paper, failures usually show up as particles and fibers at sheet edges, paper dust from feeding, smearing or offset of toner, and unexpected ionic contributions when sheets contact wet gloves, damp benches, or disinfected surfaces. Texwipe publishes typical contamination characteristics for TexWrite® 22 sheets as representative analyses (not specifications).

ESD handling note: the technical data sheet lists a typical surface resistivity value for TexWrite® papers under a defined humidity condition. This is a published measurement, not a blanket claim that the paper is “dissipative” or “conductive,” and it should not replace your facility’s ESD program criteria. If your documentation is used at an ESD-protected workstation, align paper selection to your internal ESD controls and qualification expectations.

• Packaging: 250 sheets per pack; 10 packs per case; 2,500 sheets total.
• Cleanroom packaged: manufacturer states cleanroom packaged (maintain packaging integrity until point of use).
• Sterility: not published (no sterile designation stated in the source basis).
• Autoclave: manufacturer states autoclavable; treat this as a controlled activity—validate print/toner behavior, curl, and legibility after the cycle used in your facility.
• Country of origin: Made in USA (published).

Traceability note: lot-level documentation or COA availability is not stated in the source basis for this item. If your quality system requires incoming verification beyond packaging count and visual condition, request documentation expectations at the time of procurement and match them to your receiving SOP.

• Control the printer, not just the paper: keep feed trays clean, avoid overfilled trays, and prevent paper dust buildup inside the printer that can redeposit onto sheets.
• Minimize fan-out and rough shuffling: aggressive “fanning” and repeated edge tapping can increase edge fallout. Separate sheets deliberately, then stage them in a clean document tray.
• Let toner set before handling: heat-resistant paper supports printing, but smear risk is still driven by toner type, printer settings, and immediate stacking. Allow a short cool/set time before stacking, hole-punching, or binding.
• Define where paper can be placed: create a “documentation zone” on carts and benches (clean tray or binder) so sheets do not contact wet wipe areas, disinfectant overspray, or chemical splash zones.
• If autoclaving is used: qualify the full chain (paper + print method + binder/clip + labeling) and confirm legibility, curl, and handling debris after the exact cycle your facility uses.

• Printer dust and redeposition: a clean paper can still exit a dirty printer with contamination on the sheet surface or edges.
• Smearing and offset transfer: rushed stacking or immediate page-to-page contact can transfer toner/ink; this can become glove-to-surface transfer if handled quickly.
• Edge fuzz from rough handling: dropping packs, compressing stacks, or repeated aggressive shuffling can increase edge debris and visible “paper fuzz.”
• Autoclave-driven distortion: curling, waviness, or loss of print sharpness can occur if cycle conditions are not matched to the paper/print method; this is why qualification is essential even when “autoclavable” is published.

Customers most often compare TX5815 to other controlled-environment documentation papers designed to reduce particle and fiber generation versus standard bond. Two common comparison families are Micronova cleanroom paper programs and Berkshire cleanroom documentation papers.

Within the Texwipe line, a practical comparator is heavier-weight TexWrite® sheets (e.g., 30# options) when stiffness and show-through matter, or 100% synthetic sheet programs when cellulose contamination must be avoided. Final selection should be driven by your documentation workflow (printing speed, duplex needs, handling frequency) and the contamination sensitivity of the area where paper will be staged and handled.

Texwipe lists TexWrite® loose leaf sheets for use in ISO Class 3–8 environments (and also references Class 1–100,000 and EU Grade A–D). This aligns with facilities, lab, and production documentation where paper is necessary but must be managed as a controlled material rather than a general office supply.

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 programs that standardize forms and instructions across multiple areas, that relationship supports continuity of supply and consistent product support expectations.
