STX609 Sterile TechniCloth 9" x 9" Cellulose and Polyester Cleanroom Wiper

STX609 Sterile TechniCloth is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), high-absorbency cellulose/polyester nonwoven wiper used for spill control, general cleaning, and solution application in controlled environments. It is manufactured from a 45% polyester / 55% cellulose blend with a cut edge and is supplied sterile for ISO Class 5–8 workflows where wipe strength, quick wetting, and reliable liquid pickup are key.

Best-seller note: STX609 is commonly specified as a practical sterile “workhorse” when absorbency, wet strength, and routine sterile wipe-down performance matter more than ultra-low-residue final polishing.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. Its manufacturing approach starts with substrate selection (including cellulose/polyester blends when fast wetting and absorbency are performance drivers), then controls edge construction, controlled cleaning/processing, and packaging aligned to cleanroom application tiers.

 

For sterile products like STX609, Texwipe describes gamma irradiation to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10−6 (AAMI-aligned) and supports audit readiness with case-level documentation (e.g., Certificates of Compliance/Analysis/Irradiation) and lot-specific identifiers. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that documentation discipline with a close working relationship with Texwipe focused on continuity of supply, clean documentation handoff (certs, lot traceability), and practical application support—so customers can standardize wiping materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

STX609 Features:
  • 45% polyester / 55% cellulose nonwoven — high absorbency with functional wet strength
  • Manufactured to provide low levels of particles and extractables for general cleanroom wiping
  • Excellent chemical resistance for compatibility with a variety of solutions (verify to your chemistry and SOP)
  • Meets USP <797> and USP <800> wiper requirements
  • Individually lot coded for traceability and quality control
  • Gamma irradiated; sterile validated to SAL 10−6
STX609 Benefits:
  • Fast wetting and absorbency: Cellulose content helps the wipe load quickly for spill pickup and solution application/removal (process-dependent)
  • Handling strength when wet: Polyester content improves durability and reduces tearing during routine wipe-downs and spill response
  • Low-linting performance: Designed to help reduce particle and fiber contribution during wipe-downs (process-dependent)
  • Sterile readiness: Sterility framework supports ISO 5–8 / EU Grade B–D workflows without adding on-site sterilization steps
Common Applications:
  • Superior for spill control
  • Cleaning and polishing equipment and environmental surfaces during and following production flow
  • Wipe-downs in sterile gowning rooms
  • Applying and removing lubricants, adhesives, residues, and disinfectants/cleaners (verify compatibility)
  • Wiping gloves and common items entering the cleanroom (as allowed by your SOP)
  • Lining trays for holding, protecting, drying, and storing parts, equipment, and devices
Best-Practice Use:
  • Fold for control: Fold into quarters to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to avoid re-depositing contamination.
  • Wet vs. dry: For solvent wipe-downs, dampen—do not over-saturate—so you maintain control and reduce dripping.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or leaves streaks/residue.
  • Sterile handling: Open packs per your aseptic technique; keep unused inner packs protected to avoid compromising sterile presentation.
Selection Notes (STX609 vs. Other Options)
  • STX609 vs. TX609: Same TechniCloth 9" x 9" format and substrate family, but STX609 is supplied sterile (gamma irradiated) and packaged as 100 wipers/bag (4 packs of 25) for sterile workflows.
  • 9" x 9" vs. 12" x 12" (TX612): Choose 12" x 12" when coverage per wipe matters; stay with 9" x 9" when control, folding ergonomics, and waste reduction are priorities.
  • Dry vs. pre-wetted: If you want consistent wetting and reduced solvent handling, consider TechniSat pre-wetted wipers (70% IPA options are common for routine wipe-downs).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe TechniCloth® (Sterile) Cellulose + Polyester Blend Sterile Wipe-Down & General Cleaning 9" x 9" Lot Traceability
Texwipe STX609 Sterile TechniCloth® 9" x 9" Cellulose/Polyester Cleanroom Wiper — sterile blend wiping for routine surface cleaning and absorbent pickup

Texwipe STX609 Sterile TechniCloth® is a sterile, 9" x 9" cellulose and polyester blend cleanroom wiper selected for routine wipe-downs in controlled and aseptic workflows where absorbency and efficient pickup are desirable. Blend wiper platforms are commonly used when facilities want a practical balance of liquid handling and controlled wiping technique, provided the method includes disciplined controls to prevent re-deposition and cross-contamination. The 9" x 9" format supports repeatable fold patterns and consistent face usage, helping teams standardize technique across operators and shifts. As with all sterile wipes, method outcomes depend on controlled introduction, maintaining package integrity, one-pass/one-face technique, and defined change-out triggers. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, surface quality, and chemistry compatibility.

Operations takeaway: STX609 supports ISO-aligned operations control by providing a sterile blend wiper platform that can be standardized in your SOP (wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and discard point). Use clean-to-less-clean flow and discard before the wipe becomes saturated or smear-prone.

ISO-first context: where wipers fit in cleanroom operations control

ISO 14644-5:2025 frames cleanroom performance around a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP) that governs personnel practices, material transfer, cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring. Wipers belong in that system because the wipe itself, the chemistry, and the technique directly affect residues, particles, and recontamination risk. If you clean parts, fixtures, tools, or work surfaces inside an ISO-class controlled environment, the method should be written, trained, and repeatable.

Control point: Most “wiper failures” are technique failures—over-wetting, re-wiping with a loaded face, backtracking into clean areas, or using a wiper beyond its change-out point.

What this wiper is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • Sterile wipe-down of benches, carts, and equipment surfaces where absorbency and efficient pickup are desirable.
  • Damp-film wiping using facility-approved sterile solvents/chemistries where the SOP defines wetness target and contact method (no pooling/dripping).
  • Routine cleaning passes on smooth surfaces to reduce visible films and residues prior to a defined disinfection step (as written in your SOP).
  • Intervention support in aseptic workflows where package control, controlled wetting, and one-pass/one-face technique are required.
  • General sterile cleaning where wipe size supports repeatable fold patterns and consistent operator technique across shifts.

Method note: Blend wipes can change solvent hold-up and release characteristics versus pure polyester. Standardize the dampness target and discard point in the SOP. For confined geometries, define the swab method separately (one swab, one area; no re-dipping).

Best-practice use (reduce residues, particles, and rework)
  1. Control introduction: bring wipes into the cleanroom per your OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, and storage).
  2. Use clean-to-less-clean flow: wipe from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest zone; do not backtrack.
  3. Fold for control: fold to create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass, then refold.
  4. Damp-film technique: if using solvent, wet to a controlled damp state (not dripping).
  5. Straight-line strokes: use consistent pressure and unidirectional strokes; avoid circular scrubbing.
  6. Change-out triggers: discard when loaded, smeary, tacky, or when surface-quality requirements are at risk.

Method standardization tip: If outcomes differ by operator, lock four variables in the SOP: wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and change-out point.

Misuse controls & when not to use
  • If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe for sterile workflows.
  • If ultra-low residues/ions are gating: confirm requirements against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits.
  • If the surface is easily scratched: validate on delicate finishes; avoid excessive pressure.
  • If chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility and safety for solvents/cleaners; do not assume universal compatibility.
Recommended cleanroom glove pairing (ISO-aligned)

For ISO-controlled wiping applications, pair this cleanroom wipe with a cleanroom-processed, low-particle nitrile glove to reduce contamination transfer during handling and routine wipe-downs.

Glove discipline: Change gloves when contaminated, solvent-wet, torn, or after contacting non-controlled surfaces. Treat gloves as part of the wipe system.

Recommended sterile swab pairing (detail cleaning & confined geometries)

For ports, crevices, and recessed features where a wiper cannot maintain contact control, use a sterile cleanroom swab to keep the cleaning method consistent and to reduce accidental contact with critical surfaces.

Swab discipline: Use a strict “one swab, one area” approach for sterile workflows. Do not re-dip; discard immediately if the tip is overloaded or if the swab contacts non-sterile surfaces.
