TX1029 Vectra Quantum100 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper

TX1029 Vectra Quantum100 is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), premium double-knit, single-ply polyester sealed-border wiper for critical cleaning applications in ISO Class 3 to 5 manufacturing environments. The unique fiber and knit structure is designed to deliver high absorbency and a soft, nonabrasive wiping surface, while all four edges are sealed to help prevent the release of fibers and particles during wipe-downs of sensitive surfaces and tools.

Best-seller note: TX1029 is commonly specified when teams want a sealed-border polyester wiper with a softer hand and higher absorbency for critical wipe-downs, chamber/tool cleaning support tasks, and sensitive part handling—while maintaining lot traceability and cleanroom-ready packaging.

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.

For sealed-border Vectra® Process families, Texwipe emphasizes automated, continuous cleaning with in-line process control and disciplined packaging/handling steps intended to reduce variability and 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.

TX1029 Features:

100% synthetic fiber construction — continuous-filament, double-knit polyester
Thermally sealed border on all four edges (sealed-border) using Texwipe’s sealed-edge technology
Vectra® processed and packaged at Texwipe’s Cleanroom Products Manufacturing Center
Solvent resistant Bag-Within-A-Bag® cleanroom packaging
Statistical quality control and lot-to-lot traceability

TX1029 Benefits:

Low-linting performance: Sealed-border construction is intended to help minimize fiber and particle release during wipe-downs (process-dependent)
High absorbency for wet steps: Designed to reduce cleaning effort in solvent/DI water wipe-downs and spill pickup activities
Soft, nonabrasive wiping surface: Useful when surface finish sensitivity matters and operators want a gentler hand feel
Cleanliness discipline: Designed for ultralow particulate/fiber/ionic/extractable levels to help reduce contamination contribution in critical zones
Traceability: Lot-to-lot traceability supports documentation review and audit readiness

Common Applications:

Maintenance wipe-downs of work surfaces in ISO Class 3–5 environments
Cleaning support for process tools, chambers, and sensitive equipment exteriors (per SOP)
Use as a clean work surface or for transport/staging of sensitive parts
Solvent/DI water wipe-downs where sealed-border construction is preferred for contamination control

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 reduce re-deposition risk.
Wet vs. dry: For solvent wipe-downs, dampen—do not over-saturate—so you maintain control and reduce dripping.
Border awareness: Keep the sealed border intact; avoid tearing/cutting the wiper (which can create new release points and defeat the sealed-border benefit).
Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins to streak/leave residue—especially on polished or critical surfaces.

Selection Notes (TX1029 vs. Other Options)

TX1029 vs. TX1010 (Vectra Alpha10): Both are sealed-border, Vectra-processed polyester wipers for critical environments; teams often look at TX1029 when they want a softer hand feel and high absorbency in a single-ply sealed-border format.
TX1029 vs. TX1080 (Vectra QuanTex): TX1080 is commonly positioned as a lighter-weight, more economical sealed-border polyester option; TX1029 is often selected when premium softness/absorbency is the priority.
TX1029 vs. TX1050 (Vectra AlphaSorb10): TX1050 is a premium, two-ply sealed-border polyester wiper designed for high sorption; choose it when maximum liquid pickup per wipe is the primary driver.
TX1029 vs. TX1060 (Vectra Honeycomb10): TX1060 uses a unique knit pattern intended for scrubbing and grit encapsulation; choose it when residue/grit removal and abrasion resistance are key.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Polyester (Low-Lint) VECTRA® Quantum100 Critical Surface Cleaning Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX1029 VECTRA® Quantum100 9" x 9": low-lint polyester wiping for residue- and particle-sensitive processes

Texwipe TX1029 VECTRA® Quantum100 is a polyester cleanroom wiper engineered for processes where particle control and surface finish quality are priority outcomes. In many controlled environments, wiper selection is not about “cleaning harder,” but about reducing the risk of introducing contamination while achieving a repeatable finish. TX1029 is commonly selected for critical wipe-downs on tools, fixtures, and process surfaces where teams want a predictable, low-lint polyester substrate and controlled method execution.

Operations takeaway: When you choose a “critical” wipe like TX1029, the SOP must lock wetness, stroke pattern, folding, and change-out triggers. Without those controls, even the best wipe can become a redeposit mechanism.

ISO-first context: wipers are an operations control tool, not a consumable afterthought

ISO 14644-5:2025 emphasizes an Operations Control Programme (OCP) that governs cleaning, material handling, personnel practices, and monitoring. Wipers sit inside that system because the wipe itself, the chemistry, and the technique directly affect residues, particles, and recontamination risk. In higher-sensitivity steps, a controlled wipe method is often a key control point: define the wipe sequence, define the “clean-to-less-clean” flow, and define the discard point before a wipe becomes loaded.

Control point: “Critical surface cleaning” is usually a technique problem first. Wiper grade helps, but method discipline is what prevents streaks, redeposit, and variability.

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

Product: Texwipe VECTRA® Quantum100 TX1029
Size: 9" x 9" nominal (23 cm x 23 cm)
Material / structure: Polyester (verify construction and edge type on current manufacturer documentation)
Processing: Cleanroom processed and packaged; lot traceability
Typical ISO positioning: ISO Class 4–7 (process dependent; confirm for your method and environment)
Packaging: Verify current bag/case counts and configuration per current manufacturer documentation

Receiving rule: For critical applications, lock three SKU attributes: fabric, edge type, and processing/packaging grade. “Close enough” substitutes often change residues and particle behavior.

What TX1029 is designed to do (typical use cases)

Critical wipe-downs of tools, fixtures, and process surfaces in controlled environments
Solvent wiping (e.g., IPA) where a consistent low-lint polyester substrate supports finish quality (confirm compatibility to your SOP)
Residue control steps where over-wetting and re-wiping are known failure mechanisms
Cleaning sequences that require method discipline (defined faces, defined strokes, defined change-out)
Surface preparation tasks where repeatable outcomes are required for downstream processes

Process note: For the most sensitive finishes, validate whether your SOP requires a defined final pass (dry pass or secondary wipe) to eliminate streaking and redeposit.

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

Control introduction: bring wipes into the controlled area per OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, storage).
Fold for faces: create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass.
Damp-film control: wet to a controlled damp state; avoid dripping and pooling (a primary cause of streaks/tide marks).
Straight-line strokes: parallel, overlapping passes; avoid circular scrubbing.
Clean-to-less-clean flow: do not backtrack into cleaned zones with a used face.
Change-out triggers: discard when the face loads, smears, or finish quality is at risk.

Method standardization tip: If operator-to-operator results vary, lock four variables: wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and discard point.

Misuse controls & when not to use TX1029

If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe for sterile workflows; use sterile presentation when required.
If the chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility and safety for your solvents/cleaners; do not assume universal compatibility.
If delicate finishes are involved: validate pressure and method on sensitive coatings/optics; avoid excessive force.
If ultra-low residues/ions are gating: confirm current NVR/ionic requirements against manufacturer documentation and your internal limits; use the validated wipe grade required by the process.

Recommended cleanroom glove pairing (ISO-aligned)

For ISO-controlled wiping applications (especially critical-surface work), pair this 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: In critical wiping, glove contribution can be the limiting factor. A cleanroom-grade glove helps prevent the wiping step from becoming a particle/ionic transfer event.

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