Texwipe TX761PM Alpha® Polyester Knit Cleanroom Swab with Flexible Angled Head (Long Handle)

Texwipe TX761PM is a precision-cleaning cleanroom swab engineered for the geometry problems that defeat straight swabs—tracks, slots, grooves, gear teeth, hinge lines, and other tight features where approach angle and contact mechanics determine whether you clean or just smear. It uses a cleanroom-laundered, double-layer knitted Alpha® polyester head for low-linting performance (no swab is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition) and controlled sorbency, paired with a long, light-green polypropylene handle and an internal flexible paddle that supports an angled approach. Complete thermal bond construction (no adhesive at the head/handle interface) helps reduce extractables variability in solvent-heavy workflows, and the flexible angled head is designed to help operators maintain stable contact without snagging, side-loading, or over-scrubbing in recessed features.

These values represent typical analyses (not specifications). For residue-sensitive cleaning and inspection workflows, many teams trend by lot and align technique (wetness, pressure, stroke count) to avoid turning a clean swab into a particle generator in-use.

Texwipe (an ITW company) builds cleanroom swabs as engineered contamination-control tools, where head construction, bonding method, and packaging discipline directly influence real-world outcomes. In tight geometries, cleaning success is rarely about “more solvent”—it is about controlled contact, controlled wetness, and a swab that resists snagging and abrasion events that can shed particles or redeposit residue.

TX761PM pairs a cleanroom-laundered, double-layer knitted polyester head with a supported flexible angled paddle so operators can approach surfaces at an angle without levering the tip into edges. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing discipline with a close working relationship focused on continuity of supply, documentation consistency, and practical application support—helping customers standardize a repeatable swabbing process with fewer substitutions and fewer workflow surprises.

• Flexible angled head designed for access in spaces difficult to reach with a flat swab
• 45–90 degree flexible angled head geometry for controlled entry into tight features
• Cleanroom-laundered, double-layer knitted Alpha® polyester tip for low-linting performance and enhanced absorbency
• Flexible internal paddle head support for stable contact and improved control
• Thermally bonded head (no adhesive) to reduce contamination pathways and improve consistency in solvent-heavy use
• Engineered to resist snagging and abrading while remaining soft and nonabrasive
• Excellent chemical compatibility with a variety of solutions
• Long, light green polypropylene handle; trademarked handle with embossed “TEXWIPE” name for authenticity/traceability
• May be sterilized by autoclave (dry heat and steam) when your workflow requires it
• Nested Bag-Within-A-Bag® packaging supports cleaner staging and transfer into controlled areas

• Better access + better mechanics: Angled approach helps maintain contact in slots, tracks, grooves, and moving hardware without forcing awkward wrist angles that increase pressure spikes and snag events
• Controlled solvent technique: Double-layer knit supports a more consistent “damp” approach for IPA and other solvents, reducing pooling that can dry into streaks, haze, or redeposited film
• More stable background behavior: Thermal bond construction (no adhesive) helps reduce a common source of extractables variability
• Reduced shedding risk in-use: Resists snagging/abrading and helps limit particle/fiber release when geometry would otherwise side-load the head
• Process repeatability: Consistent dimensions and packaging support standard work across shifts and sites

• Precision spot cleaning of grooves, tracks, slots, channels, rails, and other small spaces
• Cleaning, maintenance, and inspection of gears and other moving parts in controlled environments
• Solvent use such as IPA for controlled application and removal in tight geometry features
• Applying and removing lubricants, adhesives, and other process solutions in critical clean environments
• Optics, semiconductor tooling, microelectronics fixtures, aerospace assemblies, and data storage mechanisms where access and residue control are gating concerns

• Work “damp,” not flooded: Pre-wet the head to a controlled damp condition for solvent cleaning. In tracks and slots, excess solvent pools and can redeposit residues as it flashes off.
• Use the angle to avoid scrubbing: Let the angled head ride the surface. Use straight, one-direction strokes with overlap; avoid circular scrubbing that increases abrasion and shedding risk.
• Control pressure and side-load: Use light, consistent pressure. Do not lever the tip into edges or corners—side-loading is a primary trigger for snagging and particle release.
• Rotate and retire: Rotate the swab face as it loads and replace it when the head becomes visibly soiled or starts to drag/streak.
• Autoclave only if your SOP requires it: If you autoclave, validate post-sterilization handling and packaging integrity to maintain cleanliness at point of use.

• Choose TX761PM when geometry is the problem: If the feature forces awkward entry angles (tracks, slots, hinges, gear teeth), the angled head can improve contact control and reduce snag/shed events compared with straight-tip swabs.
• Solvent workflows: TX761PM is commonly used with IPA and similar solvents. For stronger solvents, treat compatibility as a qualification activity based on your contact time and substrate sensitivity.
• Residue and inspection sensitivity: When streaks, haze, or film lines trigger rework, control wetness and pressure first—the angled head is designed to make that discipline easier to execute consistently.
