Texwipe TX751B Small Compressed CleanFoam Swab (Open Cell)

Texwipe TX751B is a small, compressed, open-cell CleanFoam® polyurethane foam cleanroom swab engineered for precision cleaning, particulate pickup, and controlled solvent application in tight geometries. It uses 100 ppi open-cell polyurethane foam to readily absorb solvents and solutions while grabbing particulates, and it is thermally bonded (no adhesive) to help reduce adhesive-driven residue pathways. The compact, precision pointed tip is designed for recessed features, intersecting surfaces, joints, and small-area wipe points where a standard wipe cannot physically reach. As with all swabs, performance is process-dependent and no swab is truly “lint-free” in every condition—the goal is low-linting, controlled residues, and repeatable technique.

Process-control note: TX751B is typically chosen when teams need a compact open-cell foam swab that can carry solvent into tight features, lift residues/particulates, and support repeatability with lot coding, silicone-free/amide-free packaging, and thermal-bond construction (no adhesives).

About the Manufacturer:

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in contamination-control swabbing by treating the swab as an engineered tool, not a commodity stick. That approach shows up in material selection (e.g., controlled-structure polyurethane foam), thermal-bond construction to eliminate adhesives, controlled processing intended to reduce non-volatile residues (NVRs) and ionic extractables, and packaging designed to protect cleanliness at point of use.

SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing discipline with an authorized-channel relationship focused on continuity of supply, lot traceability, and clean documentation handoff—so customers can standardize a precision foam swab like TX751B with predictable performance and procurement reliability for controlled environments, critical cleaning, and quality-driven workflows.

TX751B Features:

100 ppi open-cell CleanFoam® polyurethane head designed to readily absorb solvents/solutions and grab particulates
Thermal bond construction (no adhesive) to help reduce adhesive contamination pathways
Cleanroom processed to support low levels of NVRs and ions (typical values are manufacturer-reported and method dependent)
Lot coded for traceability and quality control
Silicone-free and amide-free bagging to help reduce transfer-film risks in sensitive processes
100% virgin polypropylene handle for chemical resistance and controlled handling
Autoclave safe in dry heat and steam (application dependent; validate against your process)
Compact geometry: precision pointed tip with a short overall length to improve control at small wipe points

TX751B Benefits:

Precision cleaning in tight features: Pointed, compressed head helps reach grooves, joints, and recessed geometries where wipes and larger swabs cannot make controlled contact
Residue control by design: Thermal-bond construction avoids adhesive introduction, supporting cleaner process baselines in solvent wiping and critical cleaning steps
Solvent handling + pickup: Open-cell foam readily carries compatible solvents and helps lift residues/particulates (validate solvent compatibility and contact time to your SOP)
Program consistency: Lot coding plus controlled packaging supports change control, investigations, and repeatability across operators and shifts
Operator control: Compact handle and small head reduce over-travel and incidental contact during spot cleaning

Common Applications:

Applying and removing lubricants, adhesives, and other solutions in a critical clean environment
Scrubbing recessed areas
Removal of excess materials and debris
Cleaning intersecting surfaces and joints
Cleaning with compatible solutions and solvents (including IPA where compatible)
Picking up fine powders
Small-area precision cleaning in microelectronics, optics, medical device, pharmaceutical, biologics, and semiconductor workflows

Best-Practice Use:

Control the wetting step: Wet the foam (do not soak the handle) using a validated solvent/cleaner; consistency in wetness is a primary driver of repeatability.
Use a single-direction technique: For residue removal, use controlled, one-direction strokes; avoid scrubbing in circles that can redeposit contamination.
Rotate contact faces: Use the pointed geometry intentionally; rotate or replace the swab instead of reusing a loaded foam surface.
Mind open-cell behavior: Open-cell foam holds and releases liquid differently than closed-cell foam; avoid flooding seams, crevices, and electrical interfaces.
Change-out triggers: Replace the swab when the tip deforms, becomes visibly loaded, or begins leaving streaks/residue.
Document for critical steps: For controlled processes, capture lot code, solvent, contact time, and technique in the batch record/SOP to support investigations and training.

Selection Notes (TX751B vs. Other Options)

Open-cell vs. closed-cell foam: Choose TX751B (open-cell) when absorbency and particulate pickup are priorities; consider a closed-cell foam swab when you need tighter solvent control and less fluid hold-up (validate based on your residue/solvent and feature geometry).
TX751B vs. TX741B (flexible tip): Use TX751B when a compressed, pointed open-cell foam tip is preferred for precision points; use TX741B when a flexible-tip geometry improves reach or contact on slightly compliant surfaces.
TX751B vs. TX752B (medium compressed): Stay with TX751B for the smallest wipe points and maximum control; step up to TX752B when you need more head length for coverage while keeping a compressed open-cell foam format.

Texwipe TX751B Small Compressed CleanFoam® Cleanroom Swab (Open Cell) — Controlled Solvent Pickup for Tight Access Cleaning and Feature-Level Detail Work

Texwipe’s TX751B Small Compressed CleanFoam® Swab is a cleanroom-processed, non-sterile foam swab used when controlled solvent pickup and a compact head are preferred for precision access. The open-cell foam construction is commonly selected when higher solvent capacity or rapid wetting is beneficial, subject to method qualification and compatibility with your chemistry and surface. The small head profile supports work in constrained geometries such as ports, seams, grooves, and intersecting surfaces where wipers or larger swabs can be difficult to control. Operational outcomes typically depend on controlling wetness (damp vs. wet), using short unidirectional strokes, and rotating the head to present a clean face as loading occurs. Because open-cell foam can retain and release solvent readily, defined loading limits and change-out triggers are often important to reduce pooling, streaking, or residue carryover in sensitive applications. For controlled or validated programs, confirm construction details, cleanliness attributes, 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 in small areas: slots, corners, ports, grooves, seams, threads, connectors, and intersecting surfaces
Controlled solvent application/removal (IPA, acetone, engineered solvent per SOP) where capacity and wetting characteristics matter
Removing particulate or residue from tool interfaces and fixtures where wiper contact is too broad
Detail cleaning on sensitive surfaces where localized control is preferred over broad wiping
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, deforms, 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 foam 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.
