TX1009B AlphaWipe 9" x 9" 100% Polyester Cleanroom Wiper

TX1009B AlphaWipe is low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), high-absorbency polyester knit wiper used for critical cleaning, spill control, and solution application in controlled environments. It is made from 100% continuous-filament polyester in a double-knit, no-run interlock pattern for durability on equipment, fixtures, and rougher surfaces.

Bulk-pack note: TX1009B is the AlphaWipe 9" x 9" format in a bulk-packed presentation (not neatly stacked), often chosen for faster grab-and-go access at benches, carts, and wipe stations.

Specifications:

Size: 9" x 9" (23 cm x 23 cm) nominal
Material: 100% continuous-filament polyester
Construction: Double-knit, no-run interlock
Edge: Laundered cut edge
Packaging: 150 wipers/bag (2 inner bags of 75); 10 bags/case
Use environments: Commonly used across a wide range of ISO-class cleanrooms and controlled areas (final suitability depends on your process and cleaning method)

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 patented sealed-border options), controlled cleaning/laundering, and packaging aligned to cleanroom application tiers.

Texwipe also emphasizes verification through fibers/particles/ions/residue/endotoxin testing and describes automation-forward processes—such as Vectra® continuous cleaning with 100% machine-vision inspection and hands-free sterile manufacturing steps—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.

TX1009B Features:

100% polyester fiber — continuous-filament, double-knit
Cleanroom laundered and packaged
Solvent-safe packaging
Lot-to-lot traceability

TX1009B Benefits:

Low-linting performance: Designed to help reduce particle and fiber contribution during wipe-downs (process-dependent)
Durability on surfaces: No-run interlock knit helps resist snagging and abrasion on rougher equipment and fixtures
Absorbency for wet steps: Effective for spill pickup and applying/removing cleaning agents and process solutions
Chemical resistance: Polyester knit construction is commonly used with IPA and many other cleanroom-compatible solvents/cleaners (verify compatibility to your chemistry and SOP)

Common Applications:

General wiping of benches, carts, tools, equipment exteriors, and fixtures
Spill control and pickup of process fluids
Cleaning and polishing stainless steel
Applying and removing disinfectants, cleaners, and process solutions
Protective covering for parts and product during staging, transfer, or temporary storage

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.
Part protection: When lining trays, avoid dragging parts across the wiper; lift and place to reduce particulate transfer.

Selection Notes (TX1009B vs. Other Options)

TX1009B vs. TX1009: Same AlphaWipe family and nominal size, but TX1009B is bulk packed (not neatly stacked) for faster grab-and-go access; TX1009 is typically selected when a neatly stacked presentation is preferred.
Dry vs. pre-wetted: If you want consistent wetting and reduced solvent handling, consider AlphaSat pre-wetted wipers (70% IPA options are common for routine wipe-downs).
Size-up/size-down: Use smaller wipes for tight work areas; use 12" x 12" or larger formats when coverage per wipe matters.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Polyester Knit (Low-Lint) Ultrasonically Sealed Edge Edge-Shedding Reduction Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX1009B AlphaWipe® 9" x 9": sealed-edge control for critical wipe steps

Texwipe TX1009B AlphaWipe® is a 100% continuous-filament polyester cleanroom wiper constructed in a double-knit, no-run interlock pattern and produced in a sealed-edge configuration to reduce edge-driven particle release. It is commonly selected for critical wiping and final-pass routines where teams want the familiar AlphaWipe® knit structure, but with additional edge-shedding control for tighter processes and more defect-sensitive surfaces.

Operations takeaway: TX1009B is most effective when it is treated as part of your ISO 14644 operations control program—defined wipe technique, defined wetness (damp-film vs. wet), defined change-out triggers, and controlled introduction/storage. Sealed edges reduce a key shedding mechanism, but they do not replace method discipline.

ISO-first context: why sealed edges matter in 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. In wipe-down processes, the wipe edge can be a primary particle contributor—especially during pressure, corner contact, or repetitive passes. Sealed-edge wipes help reduce that risk when your process is sensitive to edge shedding.

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

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

Product: Texwipe AlphaWipe® TX1009B
Size: 9" x 9" nominal (23 cm x 23 cm)
Material / structure: 100% continuous-filament polyester; double-knit, no-run interlock pattern
Edge construction: Sealed edge (ultrasonically sealed perimeter)
Processing: Cleanroom laundered and packaged; solvent-safe packaging; lot-to-lot traceability
Cleanroom use positioning: Commonly used across ISO Class 3–7 (confirm final suitability to your process and method)
Packaging: Verify current bag/case counts on manufacturer documentation and your SOS SKU configuration

Documentation rule: For controlled/validated programs, always base acceptance criteria on current manufacturer documentation and lot records (not web summaries).

What TX1009B is designed to do (typical use cases)

Final-pass wipe-downs and defect-sensitive cleaning steps where edge shedding is a risk driver
Solvent wiping with common cleanroom chemistries (e.g., IPA; confirm compatibility to your SOP)
Cleaning parts, fixtures, and tooling in ISO-controlled environments
Controlled application/removal of process solutions where low-lint knit performance is required
General wiping in tighter processes that standardize sealed-edge knit wipes

Sealed-edge intent: The sealed perimeter is designed to reduce a primary shedding mechanism during pressure, corner contact, and repetitive passes.

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

Control introduction: bring wipes into the cleanroom per your OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, and storage).
Use clean-to-less-clean flow: wipe from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest zone; do not backtrack.
Fold for control: fold to create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass, then refold.
Damp-film technique: if using solvent, wet to a controlled damp state (not dripping). Over-wetting drives streaks/tide marks and redeposit.
Straight-line strokes: use consistent pressure and unidirectional strokes; avoid circular scrubbing.
Change-out triggers: replace when the wipe loads, smears, becomes tacky, or when the surface quality standard is 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 TX1009B

If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe. Use the designated sterile sealed-edge wipe required by your workflow and transfer rules.
If ultra-low residues are gating: confirm NVR/ionic requirements against the current datasheet and your internal limits.
If the surface is easily scratched: validate on delicate finishes; use a validated low-risk method and avoid excessive pressure.
If the chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility for your solvents/cleaners; do not assume universal compatibility.

Recommended cleanroom glove pairing (ISO-aligned)

For ISO-controlled wiping applications, pair this sealed-edge knit wipe with a cleanroom-processed, low-particle nitrile glove that matches the contamination sensitivity of the wipe and the environment.

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

Why this matters: Wipers and gloves function as a system. Using a cleanroom-grade wipe with a non-cleanroom glove introduces particles, fibers, and ionic contamination that can negate the benefit of sealed edges and low-lint polyester construction.

Glove discipline: Change gloves when contaminated, solvent-wet, torn, or after contacting non-controlled surfaces. Treat gloves as a primary contamination vector during wiping operations.
