TX705 Wrapped Cotton Cleanroom Swab with Long Wood Handle (Dry, Non-Sterile)

Texwipe TX705 is a high-absorbency, wrapped cotton cleanroom swab built for controlled surface cleaning, targeted solvent use, and environmental/surface sampling where a long handle improves reach and reduces incidental gloved-hand contact with the work zone. The swab head is constructed from 100% USP-grade cotton and is securely bonded to a hardwood handle using a water-based adhesive. TX705 is frequently selected for wiping recessed features, cleaning with common solvents such as IPA or acetone (process-dependent compatibility), picking up fine powders, and applying/removing lubricants and ointments. It is a dry, non-sterile swab supplied in high-volume packaging for repeatable, high-throughput work.

Program note: TX705 is a practical “utility swab” when sorbency and access matter more than ultra-low residue finishing. Teams often standardize it for non-sterile support steps because Texwipe publishes typical contamination characteristics (ionic extractables and NVR) and uses lot coding for traceability—while SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports continuity of supply and documentation discipline to reduce the risk of unqualified substitutions.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) treats cleanroom swabs as controlled, engineered consumables—not generic applicators. For spun and wrapped cotton swab programs like TX705, Texwipe emphasizes consistent tolerances (high-precision automated processes), lot coding for traceability, and published performance/contamination data so users can make placement decisions based on typical analyses rather than assumptions.

 

SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that approach through a close working relationship focused on continuity of supply, clean documentation handoff, and practical application support—helping teams standardize cleaning and sampling steps with predictable procurement and audit-ready traceability expectations.

TX705 Features:
  • 100% USP-grade cotton head for high sorbency during spot cleaning and sampling
  • Water-based adhesive bond to a long hardwood handle for reach into recessed areas
  • Made to exacting and consistent tolerances using high-precision automated processes
  • Lot coded to support traceability and quality control expectations
  • Excellent chemical and heat resistance characteristics typical of wood-handled cotton swab formats (process-dependent chemistry fit)
  • Contamination characteristics are published as typical values (ionic extractables and nonvolatile residue) to support risk-based placement
TX705 Benefits:
  • High sorbency for fast pickup: Cotton loads quickly for absorbing small spills, lifting films, and capturing powders in tight locations (use early change-out to avoid smearing/redeposit).
  • Access and control in recessed features: Long handle supports cleaning and sampling in hard-to-reach areas while keeping gloves farther from the contact zone.
  • Compatible with common cleanroom solvents (process-dependent): Commonly used with IPA or acetone for targeted cleaning steps (verify material and surface compatibility to your chemistry and exposure time).
  • Documentation-driven placement decisions: Typical contamination characteristics are disclosed to help teams decide where cotton is acceptable versus where a lower-residue synthetic swab is a better control.
  • Typical ionic extractables (µg/swab): Potassium 20.11; Sodium 18.26; Calcium 2.85; Sulfate 1.04; Nitrate 0.89; Phosphate 0.67; Chloride 0.31; Fluoride 0.22; Magnesium 0.06 (typical values; process suitability depends on your background limits).
  • Typical NVR (mg/swab): 0.251 (DI water extractant) and 0.781 (IPA extractant), useful for anticipating film/background risk in residue-sensitive work (typical values; confirm in your process window when critical).
Common Applications:
  • Environmental sampling and surface sampling in controlled areas (non-sterile workflows)
  • Cleaning with solvents such as IPA or acetone (spot cleaning, recess cleaning, touchpoints)
  • Picking up fine powders from grooves, corners, and hardware features
  • Applying and removing lubricants and ointments where controlled swab contact improves repeatability
  • Targeted cleaning of small parts, fixtures, and hard-to-reach equipment areas where a wipe cannot maintain contact
Best-Practice Use:
  • Use damp control, not flooding: For solvent cleaning, aim for a controlled damp swab to reduce pooling, streaking, and wicking into seams or interfaces.
  • Rotate and discard early: Cotton loads quickly; once the head is loaded, it can redeposit. Rotate contact points and change out frequently for consistent results.
  • One-direction strokes: Use straight-line passes (clean-to-less-clean) to reduce re-deposition in recesses and along edges.
  • Avoid high-stress misuse: Do not twist aggressively in tight bores or scrape sharp edges; excessive stress can increase fiber events or challenge the adhesive bond.
  • Prevent cross-contamination: Do not re-dip a used swab into a shared solvent container; dispense solvent in a controlled manner or use single-use aliquots per SOP.
  • Sterility gate: TX705 is supplied non-sterile. If sterility is required, use a validated sterile swab format; if sterilizing in-house, validate cycle, packaging, and post-cycle performance per your quality system.
Selection Notes (TX705 vs. Other Options)
  • Cotton vs. foam vs. polyester: Choose TX705 when sorbency and access drive the job (powders, lubricants, quick pickup). For lower-residue finishing or higher particle sensitivity, a cleanroom foam or polyester swab is often the better control.
  • Non-sterile vs. sterile: TX705 fits non-sterile workflows. If your step requires sterile introduction and sterile barrier packaging, choose a validated sterile swab format aligned to your SOPs.
  • Residue background matters: Use the published typical ionic/NVR values to decide where cotton is acceptable—and where it becomes the dominant background signal in an investigation or validation.

ISO 14644 Operations Awareness Cotton Swab Wrapped Head General Cleaning & Sampling Individually Wrapped

Texwipe TX705 wrapped cotton cleanroom swab: controlled-access cleaning for non-critical environments

Texwipe TX705 is a wrapped cotton swab designed for general-purpose cleaning, light sampling, and solvent application in environments where cotton fiber contribution is acceptable. The wrapped head construction provides better integrity than loose cotton tips, while individual wrapping supports controlled handling prior to use. TX705 is commonly used in laboratory, maintenance, optical service, and equipment support tasks, rather than validated ISO-critical cleaning steps.

Operations takeaway: TX705 is a practical access tool when absorbency and reach are more important than ultra-low lint control. Selection should be driven by task risk and documented allowance for cotton use.


Operations-control context: cotton swabs in controlled environments

ISO 14644-5 emphasizes selecting tools appropriate to contamination risk. Cotton swabs are generally excluded from ISO 5–7 validated cleaning due to fiber-shedding potential, but remain appropriate for non-critical support activities when approved in SOPs. Where used, procedures should define acceptable locations, solvents, stroke technique, and discard frequency.

Control point: Cotton swabs should never be substituted for polyester or foam swabs in validated cleanroom cleaning steps without formal method review.


Specifications (SKU controls for RFQs, SOPs, and receiving)
  • Product: Texwipe TX705 wrapped cotton swab
  • Head material: Medical-grade cotton (wrapped)
  • Sterility: Non-sterile
  • Packaging: Individually wrapped (verify pack/case quantities per current manufacturer documentation)
  • Use positioning: Non-critical cleaning, laboratory, maintenance, and service tasks

Documentation rule: Cotton swabs should be explicitly approved in SOPs where fiber release is acceptable for the task.


What TX705 is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • General cleaning of small parts and fixtures
  • Solvent application where absorbency is required
  • Optical and instrument service outside ISO-classified rooms
  • Laboratory cleaning and maintenance procedures
  • Sampling or wipe-down tasks where cotton fibers are acceptable

Selection note: For tighter residue or fiber control, transition to polyester or foam cleanroom swabs.


Best-practice use (reduce fiber transfer and rework)
  1. Open individual packaging only at point of use.
  2. Use light pressure to minimize fiber release.
  3. Employ short, controlled strokes.
  4. Discard after one task or when the head loads.
  5. Verify solvent compatibility with cotton.
  6. Dispose immediately after use.

Technique tip: Treat cotton swabs as disposable applicators, not reusable cleaning tools.


Recommended glove pairing (task-appropriate handling)

For non-critical cleaning, maintenance, and laboratory use of cotton swabs, a high-dexterity industrial nitrile glove supports control and tactile feedback.

Boundary condition: XC-310 gloves are not intended for ISO-classified cleanroom operations. For ISO 5 environments, transition to cleanroom-processed gloves such as Ansell Nitrilite® 93-311.
