TX758MD Short Small Head Microdenier Cleanroom Swab (Mini, Streak-Free, QAC Compatible, Thermal-Bonded, Low-Linting)

Texwipe TX758MD is a precision microdenier polyester knit cleanroom swab designed for streak-free cleaning and high-control particulate pickup on scratch-sensitive surfaces where the “last speck” can become a yield, cosmetic, or functional defect. The short handle + small flexible paddle head improves dexterity in tight spaces (slots, grooves, corners, joints, and intersecting surfaces) while keeping wipe pressure and wipe-line behavior consistent. TX758MD uses complete thermal-bond construction (no adhesive) to reduce bond-line residue risk during solvent work, and it is compatible with QAC (quaternary ammonium chloride) cleaners and disinfectants for facilities that combine cleaning and disinfection steps. Cleanroom processing and lot-coded packaging support repeatability in ISO-class cleanrooms, microelectronics, optics, medical device assembly, and other controlled environments.

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in contamination control by treating cleanroom swabs as engineered tools—defined materials, consistent geometry, controlled processing, and packaging intended to reduce background contribution and process variability. In the Microdenier series, the technical driver is the fabric: microdenier polyester knit is selected for streak-free cleaning and fine particulate pickup on scratch-sensitive surfaces, while thermal bonding removes adhesives as a potential residue and extractables variable at the head/handle interface.

SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing discipline through a close working relationship with Texwipe focused on continuity of supply and documentation discipline—helping customers keep qualified swab materials stable across replenishment cycles and reduce substitution risk in critical environments.

• 100% polyester microdenier knit head: increases lifting and capturing power of fine particles and supports streak-free cleaning on scratch-sensitive surfaces
• Short-handle precision control: improves dexterity near delicate features and tight wipe points (slots, grooves, corners, and joints)
• Flexible paddle head: defined contact face for controlled straight-line strokes and predictable wipe-line behavior
• Complete thermal-bond construction: adhesive-free bond line reduces a common residue pathway during solvent use
• QAC compatible: compatible with quaternary ammonium chloride cleaners and disinfectants
• Cleanroom laundered/processed: ultra-low typical levels of particles, NVRs (non-volatile residues), and ions (typical values; validate to your process)
• 100% virgin polypropylene handle: excellent chemical resistance while helping prevent introduction of additional contaminants
• Traceability cues: lot coded; light-green handle color with “TEXWIPE” embossing for quick line-side identification
• Reclosable, silicone-free bag: supports controlled line-side use and reduces repeated exposure of remaining inventory when handled correctly
• Autoclave safe: supports sterilization workflows when validated to your process controls

• Streak-free precision cleaning: microdenier polyester supports controlled film lift and residue control on high-finish parts (process-dependent)
• Better control in confined geometries: compact handle + small head improves access and pressure control at intersecting surfaces and joints
• Reduced residue risk from construction: thermal-bond, no-adhesive build removes adhesives as a bond-line contamination variable
• Repeatability across operators: consistent dimensions, lot coding, and controlled packaging support standardization and investigations
• Chemistry flexibility: QAC compatibility supports common disinfectant and cleaner workflows in controlled environments

• Applying and removing lubricants, adhesives, and other solutions in a critical clean environment
• Scrubbing recessed areas and tight wipe points
• Removal of excess materials and debris from precision parts
• Cleaning intersecting surfaces and joints where wipe-line control matters
• Cleaning with compatible solutions and solvents (including QAC disinfectants where applicable)
• Picking up fine powders and particulates (process-dependent; evaluate cross-contamination controls)

• Damp-not-dripping technique: for most precision cleaning, a damp microdenier head lifts and captures while limiting pooling and streak formation.
• Straight-line strokes: use single-direction, overlapping passes to reduce redeposit risk; avoid circular scrubbing unless a written SOP requires it.
• Rotate and replace early: once the swab face loads, it becomes a transfer tool. Use a single pass per face and replace early for consistent results.
• Protect the knit head: avoid dragging across burrs, sharp edges, or threads that can damage the head and increase shedding risk.
• Avoid re-dipping: do not re-dip a used swab into shared solvent. Use single-use aliquots or controlled dispensing to reduce cross-contamination.
• QAC workflow discipline: compatibility is only the first gate. Follow your SOP for dwell time, wipe-down sequence, and any required follow-up step to manage residue risk.

• Choose microdenier for high-finish risk: select TX758MD when scratch sensitivity, streaking, haze, and visible wipe artifacts are primary failure modes.
• Choose the short handle for tight access: compact geometry improves control near delicate features where long handles can amplify hand motion.
• Thermal bond is a control feature: adhesive-free construction helps reduce bond-line residue variables during solvent and disinfectant use.
• Packaging discipline drives outcomes: reclosable bagging supports staged use, but only if operators minimize open time and avoid glove contact inside the bag opening plane.
