About the Manufacturer: 

ITW Texwipe is a worldwide leader in contamination-control products for critical environments, known for disciplined process controls, documentation, and lot traceability across cleanroom consumables and solutions. For over 35 years SOS and Texwipe have been close partners. SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market.

 

In the sterile alcohol program, Texwipe positions TX3290 as a practical, audit-friendly standard: a defined USP-grade alcohol/water blend, ISO Class 5 filling, 0.22 micron filtration, double-bagging, gamma irradiation (SAL 10-6), and lot-coded containers supported by lot-specific certification. For contamination-control teams, that combination helps reduce variability across operators and shifts while supporting pass-through and critical-environment cleaning workflows where documentation discipline matters.

Texwipe TX3290 Features:
  • Made with USP-grade isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) and USP-purified water (70%/30% by volume)
  • Filtered through a 0.22 micron filter (submicron filtered)
  • Filled in an ISO Class 5 environment
  • Gamma irradiated to a sterility assurance level of 10-6
  • Double-bagged in solvent-safe bags and packaged in a sealed poly bag case liner
  • Independent QC audits for sterility assurance
  • Lot traceable; each container lot coded with expiration date
  • Each shipment accompanied by lot-specific Certificate of Processing and Certificate of Compliance
  • Evaporates leaving low residue; no rinse required (process-dependent)
  • Often used in USP <797> / USP <800> environments as part of contamination-control workflows (follow your site SOP and applicable label/SDS guidance)
Texwipe TX3290 Benefits:
  • Standardizes cleaning chemistry: Eliminates the mixing, filtration, sterilization, and QC burden of producing sterile alcohol/water blends in-house.
  • Supports critical-environment pass-through: Prefiltered, double-bagged, and sterilized packaging helps reduce handling steps when staging supplies for controlled areas.
  • Low-residue drying behavior: Designed to evaporate with extremely low residues to support routine wipe-down and residue removal (validate against your surfaces and residues).
  • Audit-ready traceability: Lot coding, expiration dating, and lot-specific documentation support QA expectations and day-to-day compliance habits.
  • Economical bulk format: 1-gallon bottles are commonly selected where coverage-per-container matters and change-outs need to be minimized.
Common Applications:
  • Surface cleaning and residue removal on hard, non-porous surfaces (process-dependent)
  • Wipe-down for pass-through to controlled environments
  • Facilities currently blending and using isopropanol solutions that want a sterile, documented alternative
  • Used with cleanroom wipers for routine wipe-down programs (no wiper is truly “zero-lint” in every process condition; select low-linting substrates and validate to your SOP)
Best-Practice Use:
  • Control dispensing: Pour only what you need into an approved dispensing bottle or wipe bucket per SOP; keep bulk containers closed when not actively dispensing to reduce vapor loss and contamination risk.
  • Use clean-to-less-clean sequencing: Start with higher/cleaner surfaces and move to lower/traffic surfaces to reduce re-deposition.
  • Wipe technique matters: Use straight-line strokes with overlap; rotate wipe faces frequently and change wipes before they become overloaded.
  • Label discipline: Record opening/use per your site documentation practices, and align in-use dating to your QA requirements and the container expiration date.
  • Safety discipline: Treat as a flammable liquid; control ignition sources, ensure adequate ventilation, and follow SDS guidance for PPE and handling.
Selection Notes (This 1 Gallon Sterile 70% IPA Case vs. Other Options)
  • Bulk gallon vs. trigger spray: Choose 1-gallon packaging when throughput and coverage per container matter; choose trigger spray bottles for point-of-use convenience at benches, carts, and smaller stations.
  • Sterile vs. non-sterile 70% IPA: Sterile packaging/processing is often selected for higher-criticality areas and pass-through workflows; non-sterile can be appropriate in less critical zones depending on your risk assessment and SOP.
  • Documentation expectations: If QA requires lot-specific certificates and expiration tracking, sterile, lot-coded solutions simplify traceability and audit responses.
  • Shipping constraints: Plan for Ground-only Hazmat shipping and case-level Hazmat fees when forecasting costs and replenishment timing.

Texwipe® TX3290 Sterile 70% Isopropanol (IPA) Solution — USP-Grade Blend, 0.22 µm Filtered, Double-Bagged & Gamma Sterilized (1 Gallon, 4/Case)
Sterile (SAL 10-6) 70% v/v IPA USP-grade IPA + purified water 0.22 µm filtered Double-bagged 1 gal (3.8 L) x 4
1. Practical solutions in a critical environment

In sterile suites, “alcohol” is not just a commodity — it becomes part of your contamination control routine, transfer practice, and glove hygiene discipline. TX3290 is designed to remove many surface contaminants while evaporating with extremely low residue, without forcing facilities to blend, filter, sterilize, and QC in-house alcohol/water mixtures.

The practical value is consistency: defined composition (70% v/v), sterile processing to SAL 10-6, lot coding with expiration, and shipment documentation that supports receiving controls and QA recordkeeping.

2. What this solution is for
  • Routine sterile wipe-downs of equipment, benches, carts, and transfer items prior to introduction into controlled environments
  • Pass-through wipe-down programs where sterile presentation and packaging controls matter
  • Gloved-hand sanitization steps when defined by facility SOP (coverage + contact time + change triggers)
  • High-consumption cleaning points where gallon format improves economy and reduces frequent small-container change-outs
3. Selection rationale
  • Composition control: 70% by volume USP-grade isopropanol with 30% USP-purified water for repeatable program results.
  • Filtration step: Filtered through a 0.22 µm filter before filling to support critical-environment use.
  • Sterile assurance: Gamma irradiated to SAL 10-6 with independent QC audits for sterility assurance (per manufacturer documentation).
  • Transfer discipline: Double-bagged in solvent-safe bags with a sealed poly bag case liner for controlled introduction.
  • Lot traceability: Lot-coded with expiration date; shipments accompanied by lot-specific certificates (processing + compliance).
  • Economical format: Gallon bottles support bulk use where programs consume sterile IPA heavily.
SOSCleanroom selection philosophy
SOSCleanroom supports customers who need dependable, best-in-class cleanroom consumables. In critical environments, we do not recommend “good enough” substitutes when process risk, product integrity, and compliance expectations are on the line.
4. Materials and construction
  • Solution: 70% v/v USP-grade isopropanol + 30% USP-purified water
  • Filtration: 0.22 µm filtered prior to filling
  • Sterilization method: Gamma irradiation (SAL 10-6)
  • Packaging: Filled into cleaned containers; double-bagged (solvent-safe) with case liner (per manufacturer documentation)
  • Traceability: Lot-coded with expiration date
5. Specifications in context

The operational risk with sterile alcohol is rarely the chemistry — it is process control: how you stage it, dispense it, wet surfaces (or wipers), and manage contact time without over-wetting seams, edges, or hidden cavities. The table below ties TX3290 attributes to how programs actually use sterile IPA.

Specification Value Operational meaning
Composition 70% v/v IPA + 30% purified water (USP-grade components) Standardized blend supports repeatable wipe-down performance and residue expectations across shifts and sites.
Filtration 0.22 µm filtered Supports critical-environment use where programs expect filtered sterile solutions rather than general-purpose alcohol.
Sterility assurance Gamma irradiated to SAL 10-6 Supports sterile transfer and use in critical environments when controlled handling is maintained.
Packaging Cleaned container; double-bagged; sealed case liner Helps prevent transfer errors by providing a packaging “step-down” sequence aligned to controlled introduction practices.
Configuration 1 gallon (3.8 L) bottle; 4/case Best suited to high-consumption points; define dispensing controls to prevent uncontrolled over-wetting.
Documentation Lot code + expiration; lot-specific certificates Supports receiving inspection, batch record linkage, and investigation readiness.
6. Cleanliness metrics

TX3290 is positioned for use in critical environments through filtration, sterile processing, and packaging controls. For regulated programs, the key “cleanliness metric” is documentation control: retain lot-specific certificates, verify expiration, and ensure packaging integrity at receiving and point-of-use.

Metric Value Method / reference
Sterility assurance level SAL 10-6 (sterile) Manufacturer technical documentation
Filtration level 0.22 µm Manufacturer technical documentation

Practical note: The most common performance issue is not “wrong alcohol” — it is inconsistent wetting and uncontrolled contact time. Define what “wet enough” looks like, and train to it.

7. Packaging, sterility, and traceability
  • Case configuration: 1 gallon (3.8 L) bottle; 4 bottles/case
  • Packaging controls: Double-bagged (solvent-safe) with sealed poly bag case liner (per manufacturer documentation)
  • Sterilization method: Gamma irradiated; SAL 10-6
  • Traceability: Lot-coded with expiration date; shipments accompanied by lot-specific Certificate of Processing and Certificate of Compliance
8. Best-practice use
Customer SOP disclaimer
This guidance is provided as a suggested starting point for customer SOP development and operator training. Every cleanroom and process is different. Customers must evaluate risk, validate procedures, and obtain appropriate QA/ES approval before implementation. Always follow your facility contamination control strategy and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
  • Stage with intent: Use a packaging step-down sequence (outer bag → inner bag → bottle) consistent with your pass-through and room-grade boundaries.
  • Dispense with control: Define your facility method (pour bottle, dispenser, or decanting controls). The risk to manage is uncontrolled over-wetting and cross-contact at the neck/cap interface.
  • Sanitization (facility-defined): If used for gloved-hand sanitization, specify coverage, contact time, and when sanitization triggers a glove change (after leaving ISO 5, after high-contact events, after snag/tear risk).
  • Wiper-first technique: For most wipe-downs, wet the wiper (or use pre-saturated formats) rather than spraying directly onto equipment seams, ports, or hidden cavities.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace bottle when packaging integrity is compromised, labeling/expiration is unclear, or when point-of-use controls cannot be maintained.
Suggested pairings: wipers, swabs, and gloves for sterile IPA workflows
Sterile IPA performs best when paired with the right wipe media and detail tools so wetting, contact time, and soil removal stay consistent across operators.
Use case Recommended item Why it pairs well
ISO 5 critical wipe-downs (equipment, benches, transfer items) Texwipe TX3211 SterileWipe™ LP 9" x 9" Sterile Polyester Wiper Sterile, low-lint polyester supports controlled wetting and consistent wipe technique in critical zones.
Higher pickup wipe-downs (support areas, larger surfaces) Texwipe TX3224 Sterile TexTra™ 10 9" x 9" Sterile Polyester Wiper More absorbent knit option helps maintain a “wet edge” without excessive reapplication.
Detail cleaning (ports, fittings, interfaces, corners) Texwipe STX758B Sterile Micro Alpha® Polyester Knit Swab Controls wetting and improves access where spraying would drive solvent into seams and cavities.
Sterile glove workflows (ISO 5) Ansell TouchNTuff® 83-500 Sterile Polyisoprene Gloves (ISO 5 / Class 100) A common ISO 5 sterile glove decision set pairing for programs standardizing “glove + wiper + sterile IPA” outcomes.
Guardrail: Confirm surface compatibility and facility requirements (wet-contact time, reapplication, and any restrictions on alcohol use) before implementation.
9. Common failure modes
  • Over-wetting critical equipment: Spraying directly onto seams/ports can drive solvent into inaccessible areas and move soils where you cannot remove them.
  • Contact time not controlled: “Quick wipe and move on” creates inconsistent results; define a repeatable method and train to it.
  • Cross-contact at dispensing point: Bottle neck/cap and dispensing accessories become contamination vectors without a defined handling method.
  • Packaging boundary errors: Outer packaging introduced too far into controlled areas increases debris and touch events.
  • Documentation gaps: Not capturing lot/expiration in receiving and point-of-use controls creates avoidable QA pain during investigations.
10. Other solutions to consider

These alternatives are commonly evaluated alongside sterile 70% IPA. Selection should be driven by your surface compatibility, residue tolerance, and contamination control strategy (including rotation with sporicides where required by SOP).

11. Program fit for regulated cleanrooms
  • Annex 1 contamination control strategy: Alcohol is typically a foundational disinfectant step; packaging/transfer discipline supports controlled introduction expectations.
  • USP sterile compounding workflows: Sterile 70% IPA is commonly used for surface and gloved-hand sanitization when required by facility SOPs.
  • Documentation maturity: Lot-coded product with certificates supports QA recordkeeping and investigation readiness.
  • Operational efficiency: Bulk gallon format supports high-consumption points and reduces frequent change-outs (with the tradeoff that dispensing controls must be defined).
