Texwipe TX726 CrushTube™ Swab 91% IPA / 9% DIW Solution (Pre-Wet Point-of-Use Precision Cleaning Swab)

Texwipe TX726 CrushTube™ is a pre-wetted cleanroom swab engineered to reduce solvent-handling variability during precision spot cleaning in controlled environments. The CrushTube system uses a 100% polyester (hydro-entangled) nonwoven head attached to an internal vial containing 91% IPA / 9% DIW solution inside a protective casing. When the internal vial is crushed, the swab head becomes saturated for point-of-use application—helping teams avoid open solvent bottles, shared reservoirs, and over-wetting that can drive streaking or inconsistent results on sensitive features. Each swab is individually packaged in cleanroom-compatible materials and lot coded for traceability and quality control.

Texwipe (an ITW company) designs cleanroom swabs as engineered process tools, with attention to materials, cleaning, packaging, and repeatable geometry. In the CrushTube™ format, the key control is point-of-use solvent delivery: the IPA/DIW solution is isolated until activation, supporting consistent wetting while reducing common failure points tied to open containers, shared reservoirs, and re-dipping behaviors.

SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports this manufacturing discipline with continuity of supply and documentation-focused support to help customers avoid last-minute substitutions and keep precision cleaning steps stable across shifts, sites, and replenishment cycles.

• Solution separated until activation: IPA solution stays isolated from the head until the internal vial is crushed
• Controlled point-of-use wetting: crush the vial to release 91% IPA / 9% DIW and saturate the swab tip
• Precision spot cleaning: integrated solvent delivery eliminates the need for an extra solvent container at the wipe point
• Individually packaged: cleanroom-compatible packaging supports transport and clean handling
• Lot coded: traceability and quality control support receiving, investigations, and change control
• Polyester nonwoven head: 100% polyester (hydro-entangled) material head designed for controlled cleaning
• Compact format: integrated tube design supports tool-side cleaning and maintenance tasks in tight spaces

• Reduced solvent-handling risk: helps avoid open-bottle evaporation, shared-reservoir contamination, and inconsistent wetting from squeeze bottles
• More repeatable spot-clean results: consistent activation and integrated solvent delivery support standardized cleaning steps
• Cleaner workflow at the wipe point: fewer accessories (no separate cup/bottle) reduces clutter and handling opportunities
• Better control on sensitive features: helps limit over-wetting and pooling that can drive streaking on optics and high-finish surfaces (process-dependent)
• Audit-friendly traceability: lot coding supports documentation expectations for controlled environments

• Solvent cleaning and maintenance of ion emitter tips
• Cleaning of grooves, tracks, slots, and other small spaces
• Removing adhesive buildup and residue from tight wipe points
• Solvent cleaning of sensitive surfaces such as optical assemblies (use controlled wetness and stroke discipline)
• Portable, point-of-use wipe-down tasks where carrying an open solvent container is undesirable

• Activate at point of use: peel open the package only when ready to clean; crush the inner vial, then tip the swab to fully wet the head before contact.
• Control wetness: pre-wetted does not mean dripping—avoid pooling that can spread dissolved soils and leave dry-down marks.
• Use defined strokes: straight-line, overlapping passes reduce redeposit risk; avoid circular scrubbing unless your SOP requires it.
• For ion emitter tips: turn off power, insert the wetted swab end onto the emitter point, slowly rotate, withdraw, and repeat until deposits are removed; allow IPA to evaporate before restoring power.
• Change-out discipline: discard when the tip loads, drag increases, or residue is visible; do not attempt to extend use by re-wetting from external sources.
• Flammability controls: follow facility procedures for storage, ventilation, and ignition-source control due to IPA content.

• Choose CrushTube when point-of-use control matters: TX726 is ideal when you want an integrated swab + solvent system to reduce handling variables and eliminate re-dipping.
• Choose bulk solvent workflows when coverage is large: for wide-area wipe-downs, a pre-wetted wiper or controlled dispensing system may be more efficient than a single-tip pre-wet swab.
• Shipping planning matters: because TX726 ships as an ORM-D Consumer Commodity, plan for UPS Ground-only and adjust replenishment timing for critical programs.
• Sterile vs. non-sterile: treat TX726 as non-sterile unless your SOP defines a validated sterile pathway; aseptic workflows typically require sterile consumables and sterile barrier packaging.
