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 fabric and yarn selection (often continuous-filament polyester for lower shedding), then controls edge construction (cut-edge, sealed-edge, and sealed-border options), controlled cleaning/laundering, and packaging aligned to cleanroom application tiers.

Texwipe also emphasizes verification through particles/ions/residue testing and describes automation-forward processes to improve lot-to-lot consistency and reduce handling-driven contamination risk. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing 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.

TX1008B Features:

100% synthetic fiber (continuous-filament, knitted polyester)
Laundered and packaged at ITW Texwipe’s Cleanroom Products Manufacturing Center
Solvent-safe Bag-Within-A-Bag cleanroom packaging
Economical packaging options; bulk packed presentation (not neatly stacked)

TX1008B Benefits:

Ultra-low contamination levels: Designed for ultra-low particulate and extractable levels to support controlled-environment cleaning (process-dependent)
Rigorous wiping with control: Permits more aggressive wipe-downs with minimal release of fibers and particles versus general-purpose alternatives
Cleanroom protection: Helps protect the cleanroom by minimizing fiber and particle release during routine wipe-down tasks
Economical and traceable: Cost-effective for high-usage programs while maintaining lot-to-lot traceability

Common Applications:

Superior for spill control and general wiping in ISO Class 5 and 6 environments
Wipe-downs where further reduction of particulate contamination is desired
Cleaning and burnishing magnetic media surfaces
Cleaning and wiping sensitive surfaces
General surface cleaning of benches, carts, tools, and equipment exteriors (as permitted by your SOP and compatibility requirements)

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.
Bulk-pack handling: If staging into a dispenser or tray, handle only the wipers you need with clean gloves and avoid touching product-contact faces to preserve cleanliness.

Selection Notes (TX1008B vs. Other Options)

TX1008B vs. TX1008: Same AlphaLite family and nominal size; TX1008B is bulk packed (not neatly stacked), while TX1008 is the stacked presentation.
TX1008B vs. TX1009/TX1009B: AlphaWipe is a heavier-duty polyester knit (double-knit, no-run interlock) often selected when added durability/absorbency is preferred for wet processing steps and rougher surfaces.
Cut edge vs. sealed-edge/border options: If your process is highly particle-sensitive or you want additional edge-based contamination control, consider sealed-edge or sealed-border wipers in the appropriate ISO tier.

ISO 14644 Operations Control AlphaLite® Polyester (Low-Lint) Economy Cleanroom Wiper 9" x 9" Standard Format Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX1008B AlphaLite® 9" x 9": cost-effective polyester wiping for routine ISO-controlled cleaning

Texwipe TX1008B AlphaLite® is a polyester cleanroom wiper in a 9" x 9" format, commonly positioned as a cost-effective option for routine controlled-environment wipe-downs where teams want the benefits of polyester (low-lint handling relative to many general-purpose papers/blends) without moving to higher-end knit or sealed-edge constructions. In many programs, AlphaLite® wipes are used for general cleaning, light solution application/removal, and maintenance steps where the SOP does not require a higher-spec finishing wipe.

Operations takeaway: “Economy” wipes can still deliver excellent outcomes when the method is controlled. Lock wetness, folding, stroke pattern, and discard triggers in the SOP to prevent redeposit and variability.

ISO-first context: assign AlphaLite® to defined tasks to prevent method drift

ISO 14644-5:2025 emphasizes an Operations Control Programme (OCP) that governs cleaning methods and materials. A simple way to reduce risk is to assign wipes by task class: (1) routine cleaning, (2) critical surface finishing, and (3) sterile workflows. AlphaLite® is typically assigned to routine cleaning tasks, while critical surfaces may require a validated knit polyester or sealed-edge wipe, and sterile workflows require sterile presentation. This prevents “one wipe for everything” behaviors that create quality variation and audit exposure.

Control point: Store routine wipes and critical wipes separately and label point-of-use locations so operators do not substitute based on convenience.

Specifications (SKU controls for RFQs, SOPs, and receiving)

Product: Texwipe AlphaLite® TX1008B
Size: 9" x 9" nominal (23 cm x 23 cm)
Material / structure: Polyester (verify construction and edge type on current manufacturer documentation)
Edge: Verify edge construction per current manufacturer documentation
Processing: Cleanroom processed and packaged; lot traceability
Typical ISO positioning: ISO Class 6–8 (process dependent; confirm for your method and environment)
Packaging: Verify current bag/case counts and configuration per current manufacturer documentation

Receiving rule: Lock the exact SKU and configuration in SOPs and RFQs. Similar “polyester wipes” can differ in edge, cleanliness level, and extractables.

What TX1008B is designed to do (typical use cases)

Routine wipe-downs of benches, carts, and equipment in controlled environments
General cleaning where a polyester substrate supports lower-lint handling and consistent wiping
Solution application and pickup where the method does not require a higher-spec finishing wipe
Maintenance cleaning tasks performed under an ISO operations control program
Bulk soil removal prior to a validated critical-surface finishing pass (when required)

Method note: For haze-sensitive finishes or residue-critical steps, validate whether a knit polyester or sealed-edge wipe is required for the final pass.

Best-practice use (reduce streaks, particles, and rework)

Control introduction: bring wipes into the controlled area per OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, storage).
Fold for faces: create multiple faces; use one face per pass.
Damp-film control: if using solvent, wet to a controlled damp state; avoid dripping and pooling.
Straight-line strokes: parallel, overlapping passes; avoid circular scrubbing.
Clean-to-less-clean flow: do not backtrack into cleaned zones with a used face.
Discard triggers: replace when loaded, smeary, tacky, or when finish quality is at risk.

Standardization tip: If the outcome varies by operator, lock wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and discard point—then train and audit.

Misuse controls & when not to use TX1008B

If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe for sterile workflows.
If critical finishing is required: validate whether a knit polyester or sealed-edge wipe is needed for the final pass.
If ultra-low residues/ions are gating: confirm extractables requirements against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits.
If aggressive chemistry is used: 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 wiping.

Ansell Nitrilite® 93-311 Cleanroom Nitrile Gloves — ISO Class 5 (Class 100), cleanroom processed and packaged

Why this matters: Even “routine” wiping can fail if glove contact is uncontrolled. A cleanroom-grade glove supports method repeatability and reduces transfer risk.

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