Texwipe TX707A CleanFoam Large Rectangular Head Cleanroom Swab (Closed-Cell, 100 PPI)

Texwipe TX707A CleanFoam is a low-linting (no swab is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), closed-cell polyurethane foam cleanroom swab engineered for controlled solvent handling, broad contact on small flats, and precise cleaning of intersecting surfaces, joints, and recessed features. Constructed from high-quality 100 PPI polyurethane foam with complete thermal bond construction (no adhesives), TX707A is cleanroom processed for low nonvolatile residues (NVRs) and ions, manufactured to consistent tolerances using high-precision automated processes, lot coded for traceability, and packaged in a silicone-free and amide-free bag. The long, easy-grip polypropylene handle supports stable technique for optics, microelectronics, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and other critical clean environments where repeatability matters.

Program note: TX707A is commonly selected when teams need a rectangular foam contact patch to control streaking/film, grab fine particulates, and keep solvent delivery consistent—while maintaining lot-level traceability and clean packaging controls for audit-friendly contamination-control workflows.

About the Manufacturer:

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom swabbing by treating the swab as a controlled, engineered tool—not a commodity applicator. For CleanFoam swabs, performance starts with consistent foam structure (100 PPI), then leverages complete thermal bonding to eliminate adhesive contamination pathways, controlled processing to reduce residues/ions, and automated manufacturing to hold dimensional tolerances that support repeatable operator technique.

Texwipe also emphasizes practical contamination controls that matter line-side: lot coding for traceability and silicone-free, amide-free packaging for processes sensitive to transfer films and false positives. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that discipline with a close working relationship with Texwipe focused on continuity of supply, documentation-friendly handoff, and application support—so customers can standardize cleanroom swabs with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

TX707A Features:

Closed-cell 100 PPI polyurethane foam head designed for consistent solvent uptake and controlled release
Complete thermal bond construction (no adhesives) to reduce adhesive-driven contamination risk at the head bond
Cleanroom processed for low NVRs and ions (process-dependent)
High-precision automated manufacturing for consistent tolerances and repeatable technique
Lot coded for traceability and quality control
Silicone-free and amide-free bagging to support sensitive cleaning and inspection workflows
100% virgin polypropylene handle for chemical resistance and controlled handling
Autoclave safe in dry heat and steam (verify suitability with your internal protocol)

TX707A Benefits:

Rectangular contact control: Broad, stable swab face helps reduce streaking and “extra passes” that can drive redeposition (technique-dependent)
Solvent handling for critical cleaning: Foam readily absorbs solvents and solutions and helps lift particulates during controlled wipe steps
Reduced contamination pathways: Thermal bonding eliminates adhesive contamination at the head bond
Process-friendly packaging: Silicone-free/amide-free packaging supports processes sensitive to transfer films and residue-based inspection failures
Long-handle reach: Easier access to recessed features, joints, and intersecting surfaces while keeping hand placement controlled
Audit-ready traceability: Lot coding supports investigations, incoming checks, and process traceability expectations

Common Applications:

Applying and removing lubricants, adhesives, and process solutions in critical clean environments
Scrubbing recessed areas, corners, and tight wipe points
Removal of excess materials and debris on small flats and interfaces
Cleaning intersecting surfaces and joints where a stable contact patch matters
Cleaning with compatible solutions and solvents (verify chemical compatibility to your SOP)
Picking up fine powders and particulate residues
Optics and precision assembly cleaning where solvent spread and film control are critical

Best-Practice Use:

Pre-wet with control: Wet the foam with your approved solvent/cleaner to damp (not dripping) before contact to avoid flooding seams, joints, and interfaces.
Use the full rectangle: Keep the rectangular face flat on the surface to stabilize pressure and reduce edge-loading that can streak.
One-direction strokes: Use straight-line strokes and avoid circular scrubbing unless your SOP requires it; change the swab face/edge rather than re-wiping with a loaded surface.
Rotate/replace early: When the foam loads with soil, residues, or tacky films, replace the swab to avoid redeposition and haze after dry-down.
Handle discipline: Do not touch the foam head; keep gloves and hand placement on the handle only to preserve cleanliness.

Selection Notes (TX707A vs. Other Options)

TX707A vs. TX708A (circular head): Choose TX707A when a rectangular contact patch improves edge-to-edge coverage and stroke stability on small flats; choose TX708A when a circular head better fits curved geometries or point contact.
TX707A vs. TX709A/TX710A (flexible heads): Choose TX707A when you want a rigid paddle for stable flat contact; choose flexible-head swabs when you need controlled flex into recessed features with variable angles.
TX707A vs. TX712A (rectangular head): Both support rectangular cleaning; select by head size/geometry and handle feel based on your access constraints and contact area needs.
Temperature guidance: If you are cleaning warm fixtures/tooling, confirm your process temperatures remain below 350°F and validate against your internal protocol.

Texwipe TX707A CleanFoam® Large Rectangular Head Foam Cleanroom Swab (Closed Cell) — Stable Paddle Contact for Controlled Solvent Cleaning on Flats, Ledges, and Recessed Features

Texwipe’s TX707A CleanFoam® Large Rectangular Head Swab is a cleanroom-processed, non-sterile foam swab used when teams need controlled solvent handling with a larger, stable contact patch than micro swabs can provide. The closed-cell polyurethane foam head is commonly selected for solvent pickup/release control and low-lint positioning relative to improvised swabbing tools, subject to method qualification. A rigid internal paddle supports consistent pressure distribution across flats, ledges, lands, and interfaces, and can help maintain repeatable stroke discipline on broad features. In optical/electronics cleaning workflows, outcomes typically depend on solvent selection, controlled wetness (damp vs. wet), short unidirectional strokes, and rotating the head to present a clean face as loading occurs. As with all swabbing, loaded heads can shift from removal to re-deposition; discard triggers and change-out cadence are often written into SOPs to support repeatability. For controlled or validated programs, confirm chemistry compatibility and acceptance criteria using current manufacturer documentation and lot records.

Operations takeaway: In cleanrooms, swabs are a precision tool. The outcome depends on head material, solvent loading, stroke discipline, and single-use/change-out rules.

ISO-first context: where swabs fit in cleanroom operations control

ISO 14644-5:2025 places cleaning and handling activities under a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP). Swabs belong in that system because they directly influence localized contamination (particles, fibers, residues, and solvent carryover). Where swabs are used for precision cleaning (e.g., corners, ports, fixtures) or verification-related activities, the method should be written, trained, and repeatable: approved solvent, defined wetness, defined motion (stroke count/direction), and defined change-out triggers.

Control point: “Overworking” a swab is a common failure mode. Once the head loads, it becomes a redeposit tool. Build discard frequency into the SOP.

What this swab is designed to do (typical use cases)

Precision cleaning on broader flats, ledges, lands, cover faces, and interface surfaces where a stable contact patch is needed
Controlled solvent application/removal (IPA, acetone, engineered solvent per SOP) with defined wetness targets
Removing particulate or residue from tool interfaces and fixtures, including recessed features where cloth/wiper contact is too broad
Uniform dispersing of approved solvents across a defined area where localized control is needed
Sampling/verification workflows only if applicable and permitted by your SOP

Selection note: Match the swab head material to the task: foam for solvent control and low linting, polyester for durability and precision wiping, specialty options for ESD or micro-features—then validate to your surface and chemistry.

Best-practice use (reduce residues, particles, and rework)

Control introduction: bring swabs into the cleanroom per OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, storage).
Control wetness: use a defined “damp” loading (not dripping). Excess solvent is a primary cause of residue streaking and pooling.
Directional strokes: use short, controlled, unidirectional strokes. Avoid scrubbing that redistributes contamination.
Rotate the head: present a clean face/edge as you move; do not keep wiping with a loaded surface.
Change-out triggers: discard when the head loads, frays, sheds, or the solvent profile changes (drying or over-wetting).
Waste discipline: discard immediately into the designated waste stream (do not stage used swabs on benches).

Method standardization tip: If outcomes vary, lock three variables: solvent used, wetness target, and stroke count per feature.

Misuse controls & when not to use

If sterility is required: do not substitute non-sterile swabs for sterile workflows.
If you are sampling for validation: do not substitute cleaning swabs for protocol-defined sampling devices and methods.
If the chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility of the head bond/construction and handle material to the solvent.
If ESD is critical: use an ESD-safe swab/handle where required and validate resistance/grounding to your program.
