Texwipe TX1034 AlphaSat® 4" x 4" Polyester Cleanroom Wipers - Pre-Wetted 70% IPA / 30% DIW - 800 Wipers/Case

Texwipe TX1034 AlphaSat® is a non-sterile, pre-wetted cleanroom wiper manufactured from 100% continuous-filament polyester AlphaWipe® material. Its compact 4" x 4" dimensions provide controlled wiping coverage for small parts, tools, fixtures, instrument housings, and other compatible surfaces where a larger wiper may be unnecessarily difficult to handle.

The polyester substrate uses a durable knit construction with cleanroom-laundered cut edges. Cleanroom processing helps reduce removable particles, fibers, ions, and nonvolatile residues, while the continuous-filament structure offers strength and resistance to snagging during appropriate wiping.

TX1034 is factory pre-wetted with 70% USP-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 30% deionized water (DIW). The wetting solution is filtered to 0.2 µm before packaging. This ready-to-use presentation eliminates routine manual wetting and dilution steps while helping operators apply cleaning chemistry directly to the intended surface instead of spraying surrounding equipment.

The 4" x 4" format is useful for wiping small stainless steel components, equipment features, brackets, handles, small fixtures, and accessible recesses. It may be folded to create multiple usable wiping faces, subject to the approved cleaning procedure and the condition of the wipe.

Texwipe identifies TX1034 for ISO Classes 4 through 8 and EU GMP Grades A through D. These classifications represent the manufacturer's intended wiper application range; they do not establish that the finished product is sterile or guarantee suitability for every operation within a classified room. TX1034 must be qualified for the actual surface, contamination type, and cleaning method.

Each reclosable slider bag contains 200 pre-wetted wipers, and one manufacturer case contains 4 bags, totaling 800 wipers. SOSCleanroom offers TX1034 by the complete manufacturer case. The slider-bag closure helps limit solvent evaporation and environmental exposure when properly resealed after dispensing.

Precision Cleaning Advantage: TX1034 combines compact 4" x 4" polyester wiping coverage, cleanroom-laundered cut edges, and factory-prepared 70% IPA / 30% DIW. Its 200-count reclosable bags support repeatable small-area cleaning while reducing manual solvent preparation and unnecessary overspray.

Packaging and Case-Only Ordering:

TX1034 is packaged in high-count reclosable slider bags containing 200 pre-wetted polyester wipers. The manufacturer case contains four bags, making the complete case quantity 800 individual wipers.

Packaging Level Quantity Description
Inner Bag 200 wipers Reclosable slider bag
Manufacturer Case 4 bags Factory case configuration
Total Case Quantity 800 wipers 4 bags x 200 wipers
SOSCleanroom Purchase Unit 1 case Complete 800-wiper case

Open the slider bag only when needed, remove the required wipe without contaminating the remaining contents, and promptly close the package. A reclosable bag helps manage evaporation but does not guarantee unchanged wetness after prolonged exposure or improper storage.

Ordering Confirmation: TX1034 CASE contains 800 wipes in four 200-count bags. The 200-count quantity identifies one inner bag; the SOSCleanroom online ordering unit is the full manufacturer case.

Polyester Construction and Cut-Edge Limitations:

TX1034 uses cleanroom-laundered polyester with cut edges. The continuous-filament knit provides strength while limiting the loose staple-fiber ends found in many general-purpose nonwoven wiping materials.

  • Cut Edges: Not equivalent to thermally sealed, laser-sealed, or ultrasonically sealed borders.
  • Cleanroom Laundering: Helps reduce removable ions, particles, and residues before packaging.
  • Polyester Knit: Provides a durable substrate for controlled wiping and folding.
  • Snag Resistance: Designed to withstand suitable surface contact; sharp burrs can still damage the material.
  • Fiber Control: Cut-edge construction may be less suitable where a process explicitly requires sealed-edge material.
  • Critical Qualification: Compare published typical results with the actual fiber, particle, ionic, and residue limits of the process.

Edge Selection Guidance: TX1034 is a cut-edge polyester wiper, not a sealed-border product. When unusually stringent fiber-release or edge-containment requirements apply, select a separately qualified sealed-edge alternative.

70% IPA / 30% DIW Cleaning Chemistry:

TX1034 is pre-wetted with USP-grade 70% IPA and 30% DIW. Texwipe identifies the wetting solution as filtered to 0.2 µm, supporting controlled preparation and a repeatable initial wiping condition.

  • 70% IPA: Supports cleaning and removal of compatible oils, handling soils, and processing residues.
  • 30% DIW: Provides the water component of the wetting formulation.
  • USP-Grade IPA: Manufacturer-confirmed alcohol grade for TX1034.
  • Solution Filtration: 0.2 µm before packaging.
  • Factory Pre-Wetting: Reduces manual dilution and individual-wipe wetting variation.
  • Wetness Control: Actual wetting can change after prolonged exposure or improper closure.
  • Quantitative Loading: No exact mL-per-wiper specification was established from the reviewed TDS.
  • Surface Compatibility: Check plastics, coatings, adhesives, labels, and delicate finishes before wiping.
  • Non-Sterile Presentation: Filtering the solution does not make the finished product sterile.
  • Disinfection Limitation: A nominal 70% IPA concentration does not independently establish a product-specific disinfectant claim or validated contact time.
  • Sporicidal Limitation: Use a separately qualified sporicide when specified.

Chemistry Guidance: TX1034 provides 70% IPA / 30% DIW for qualified cleaning operations. Do not treat its alcohol concentration as independent proof of disinfection efficacy, sterility, or suitability for every surface.

Non-Sterile TX1034 vs. Sterile STX1034:

TX1034 and STX1034 share the same nominal 4" x 4" size and 70% IPA formulation, but they are different manufacturer products. Their sterile processing and package quantities must not be confused.

Characteristic TX1034 STX1034
Sterility Non-sterile Sterile
Size 4" x 4" 4" x 4"
Wetting 70% IPA / 30% DIW 70% IPA / 30% DIW
Wipes per Bag 200 50
Bags per Case 4 8
Total Wipers 800 400

Texwipe documents validated gamma irradiation and sterility-related certificates for STX1034. Those sterile-processing claims and certificates must not be attributed to non-sterile TX1034.

Sterility Guidance: TX1034 is non-sterile even though Texwipe identifies its use within certain classified environments. For procedures requiring sterile wiping materials, select and qualify an appropriate sterile variant rather than treating TX1034 as interchangeable.

Recommended Precision Wiping Procedure:

The compact 4" x 4" format supports controlled cleaning when operators apply the proper dispensing, wiping, and replacement practices. Use the following as general guidance within the facility's approved SOP.

  1. Confirm Product Suitability: Verify the approved substrate, cleaning chemistry, environmental requirements, and non-sterile status.
  2. Inspect Packaging: Check product identification, lot, expiration, bag condition, and closure.
  3. Prepare the Work Area: Follow the approved material-introduction and cleaning sequence.
  4. Wear Required PPE: Use suitable gloves, eye protection, and other protective equipment.
  5. Open the Slider Bag: Open only enough to remove the required wipe.
  6. Protect Remaining Wipers: Avoid contact with contaminated gloves or equipment.
  7. Reseal Promptly: Close the bag after dispensing to reduce solvent loss.
  8. Fold for Control: Fold into quarters or another approved configuration when practical.
  9. Use Short, Controlled Strokes: Follow the prescribed wiping direction and overlap.
  10. Maintain Appropriate Pressure: Avoid excess abrasion or snagging against sharp features.
  11. Rotate to a Clean Face: Prevent collected contamination from being redistributed.
  12. Check Wetness and Residue: Discard wipes that are dry, soiled, damaged, or leaving unacceptable streaks.
  13. Replace at the Defined Change-Out Point: Do not establish a universal number of passes without procedure qualification.
  14. Discard After Use: Never return used wipes to the original bag.
  15. Complete Required Records: Record cleaning activity and lot information where necessary.

Cleaning Technique Guidance: Smaller wipes may reduce unwanted contact with adjacent components, but they also have less working area than larger formats. Replace loaded wiping faces promptly and do not allow the compact size to encourage reuse across multiple contaminated surfaces.

Typical Particle, Fiber, Ionic and Extractables Performance:

The original AlphaWipe® technical sheet provides typical laboratory analyses for the substrate family. These results are selection references, not certified individual-lot TX1034 acceptance limits.

Typical Manufacturer Characteristic Reported Value
LPC Particles ≥0.5 µm 8.4 x 106 particles/m²
Fibers >100 µm 2,000 fibers/m²
Nonvolatile Residue - IPA Extractant 0.06 g/m²
Nonvolatile Residue - DIW Extractant 0.01 g/m²
Sodium 0.15 ppm
Potassium 0.03 ppm
Chloride 0.10 ppm
Sorptive Capacity 530 mL/m²
Sorptive Rate Less than 0.3 seconds
Basis Weight 158 g/m²

These typical material values describe testing under defined manufacturer methods. They do not establish actual wetting solution volume per wipe, finished-surface cleanliness, or a guaranteed lot-by-lot analytical specification.

Reclosable Bag Handling and Evaporation Control:
  • Open Only When Needed: Limit unnecessary exposure to air.
  • Close the Slider Completely: Inspect the full closure after removing a wipe.
  • Protect the Opening: Prevent contact with used gloves, tools, or uncontrolled surfaces.
  • Check Wetness: Do not use unexpectedly dry wipes in procedures requiring consistent pre-wetting.
  • Avoid Unapproved Re-Wetting: Adding alcohol or water changes the manufacturer's prepared condition.
  • Follow Opened-Bag Limits: Apply the facility's in-use time and handling requirements.
  • Retain Traceability: Keep product and lot labels accessible when required.
  • Control Storage: Follow the current SDS and approved flammable-material storage procedure.
Selection Notes: TX1034 and Related AlphaSat® Wipers:

Texwipe offers the same AlphaSat® polyester family in multiple dimensions and sterile configurations. Select by contact area, sterility, packaging and the approved method rather than by nominal IPA concentration alone.

Product Configuration Selection Consideration
TX1034 4" x 4", non-sterile, 70% IPA; 800/case Compact routine wipe-downs
TX1036 6" x 6", non-sterile, 70% IPA; 900/case Intermediate wiping coverage
TX1039 9" x 9", non-sterile, 70% IPA; 200/case Larger-surface wiping
STX1034 4" x 4", sterile, 70% IPA; 400/case Qualified sterile-consumable procedures
TX1004 4" x 4", dry polyester Dry wiping or separately specified chemistry

Selection Guidance: TX1034 is the non-sterile, 4" x 4" cut-edge AlphaSat® variant in an 800-wiper case. A sterile product, a larger wiper, or a dry substrate should only be substituted when the complete specification meets the approved procedure.

Safety, Chemical Compatibility and Transportation:

TX1034 contains flammable isopropyl alcohol. The manufacturer SDS identifies chemical hazards associated with the wetting formulation as well as transportation requirements for the packaged, liquid-saturated wiping material.

  • Occupational Flammability: Flammable Liquids, Category 2.

ISO Class 4–8 EU GMP Grades A–D Nonsterile 100% Polyester Continuous-Filament Knit Cleanroom-Laundered Cut Edge 70% USP-Grade IPA / 30% DIW 0.2 µm Filtered Solution 4" × 4" 200 Wipers / Bag 800 Wipers / Case Case-Only Ordering
Texwipe TX1034 AlphaSat®: compact polyester cleanroom wipers pre-wetted with 70% IPA

Texwipe TX1034 AlphaSat® Pre-Wetted Cleanroom Wipers provide a compact 4" × 4" format for controlled cleaning of compatible tools, fixtures, small equipment surfaces, and accessible work areas. Each nonsterile wiper is manufactured using 100% polyester AlphaWipe® material with cleanroom-laundered cut edges.

TX1034 is pre-wetted with a 0.2 µm-filtered formulation of 70% USP-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 30% deionized water (DIW). Factory-prepared solution supports repeatable initial wetness and reduces variation associated with manually preparing alcohol mixtures or dispensing liquid onto dry wipes.

The continuous-filament polyester fabric features a double-knit, no-run interlock construction. Its low-linting design supports cleaning activities where particles, fibers, and extractable residues must be controlled. As with all wiping materials, actual performance depends on the surface, cleaning technique, and process conditions.

Texwipe identifies TX1034 for ISO Classes 4–8 and EU GMP Grades A–D. These describe intended product application environments, not certification of a particular cleanroom or proof that the finished wipe is sterile.

The manufacturer supplies TX1034 in reclosable slider bags containing 200 wipes each. Four bags comprise one 800-wipe case. SOSCleanroom currently offers this product as a case-only purchasing unit.

Operations takeaway: TX1034 combines compact wiping geometry, continuous-filament polyester, factory-prepared 70% IPA, and resealable dispensing. Its suitability depends on the approved SOP, substrate and solvent compatibility, clean wiping faces, sufficient wetness, and the proper control of flammable materials.

ISO-first context: selecting wipes within a contamination-control program

Cleanroom operations require control of contamination introduced by materials, equipment, personnel, cleaning activities, and maintenance. ISO 14644-5 provides an operational framework for documenting and managing these activities.

Wipers make direct contact with controlled surfaces and can affect the transfer or removal of particles, fibers, residues, and liquids. The selected substrate, chemistry, packaging, handling method, and replacement frequency should be appropriate for the facility's contamination-control objectives.

TX1034 is identified by Texwipe for ISO Classes 4–8. That range should be interpreted as manufacturer application guidance, rather than a numerical certification of cleaning effectiveness or an authorization to use nonsterile supplies in every classified process.

Control point: Product application ranges and cleanroom classifications are different concepts. A qualified wiping procedure must consider surface contamination, material release, solution chemistry, sterility requirements, operator technique, and final cleanliness criteria.

Purchasing control: One TX1034 case = four reclosable slider bags × 200 wipers per bag = 800 wipers. The inner-bag quantity describes the manufacturer package, not an individual-bag purchasing option on the current SOSCleanroom listing.

4" × 4" format: choosing a small wipe for controlled access
  • Localized coverage: Suitable for evaluating controlled cleaning of smaller accessible surfaces.
  • Wiping area: Approximately 16 square inches when fully opened.
  • Contact control: May limit unintended contact with adjacent components compared with a larger sheet.
  • Small tools: Useful for compatible handles, fixtures, and production accessories.
  • Folding: Can create multiple usable wiping faces under the approved method.
  • Surface boundaries: Helps operators control the working area around accessible seams and edges.
  • Broader surfaces: May require frequent changes or a larger qualified wipe.
  • Confined features: Do not assume the wiper can safely reach deep recesses or electrical interfaces.
  • Wetting: Confirm that the supplied solution is sufficient for the specific wiping procedure.
  • Change-out: Replace a contaminated or insufficiently wet wipe rather than extending use beyond its approved working area.

Size limitation: A smaller wiper does not automatically establish lower IPA consumption, more efficient cleaning, or less liquid transferred to the surface. These outcomes depend on actual wipe loading, number of wipes used, and the cleaning procedure.

100% polyester and double-knit AlphaWipe® construction
  • Continuous filaments: Help reduce loose-fiber contribution under suitable wiping conditions.
  • Double-knit construction: Provides a durable and flexible wiping material.
  • No-run interlock: Helps reduce snagging during normal use.
  • Cleanroom laundering: Reduces material-associated contamination before packaging.
  • Absorbency: Supports application and pickup of compatible liquids.
  • Mechanical strength: Supports controlled handling on appropriate surfaces.
  • Cut edges: Identify the actual perimeter construction.
  • Particle and fiber behavior: Depends on the fabric, edge, surface, and mechanical action.
  • Single-use cleaning: Replace when loaded, contaminated, or damaged.

Construction distinction: TX1034 has a cleanroom-laundered cut edge, not a laser-sealed or Vectra® sealed border. The continuous-filament fabric helps manage shedding but cannot guarantee zero particles or fibers under all conditions.

Cut edge versus sealed-border wipers
  • TX1034: Cut-edge polyester.
  • Sealed-border alternatives: Designed with an edge finish intended to help control material release.
  • General wipe-downs: TX1034 may be suitable where cut-edge material meets the approved limits.
  • Highly sensitive surfaces: May require a separately qualified sealed-border material.
  • Rough equipment: Surface abrasion can increase particle and fiber contribution.
  • Specification requirements: If sealed edges are mandatory, select a product with that verified construction.
  • Substitution: Follow change-control procedures where the material is part of a qualified process.

Selection principle: The correct edge depends on process requirements. Do not describe TX1034 as a sealed-edge product or assume the cleanliness results of other polyester families apply to TX1034.

70% USP-grade IPA / 30% DIW: chemistry and filtration
  • Alcohol concentration: 70% IPA.
  • IPA grade: USP-grade.
  • Water component: 30% deionized water.
  • Solution filtration: 0.2 µm.
  • Preparation: Factory prepared, reducing routine manual mixing.
  • Application: Suitable for evaluating removal of compatible handling soils and process residues.
  • Repeatability: Prepared formulation helps standardize the supplied solution.
  • Evaporation: Alcohol can be lost during use or prolonged package exposure.
  • Compatibility: Assess plastics, coatings, seals, labels, and electronics before wet cleaning.
  • Disinfection: Requires appropriate efficacy evidence and qualified use conditions.

Filtration limitation: The 0.2 µm filtration applies to the wetting solution. It does not establish sterility of the finished TX1034 wiper.

Pre-wet loading: consistent formulation versus exact liquid volume
  • Verified solution: 70% IPA / 30% DIW.
  • Factory wetting: Supports repeatable preparation.
  • Exact mL per TX1034 wipe: No numerical loading value established in the public TDS.
  • Loading tolerance: No controlled per-wipe numerical tolerance established.
  • Sorptive capacity: Describes laboratory absorbency, not the supplied liquid fill.
  • Surface coverage: Must be determined under the actual cleaning method.
  • Repeated package opening: Can change wetness through evaporation.
  • Change-out: Replace when insufficiently wet or contaminated.
  • Refilling: Do not add unqualified liquid to the manufacturer's package.

Loading distinction: The manufacturer's typical 530 mL/m² sorptive capacity does not describe the actual mL of 70% IPA mixture loaded into each TX1034 wipe. A numerical loading requirement needs additional controlled manufacturer evidence or process qualification.

Current manufacturer typical cleanliness and physical properties

The current manufacturer-linked AlphaWipe® Technical Data Sheet, TEX-LIT-TDS-004 Rev. 00-02/17, reports the following typical substrate performance values.

  • Basis weight: 158 g/m²
  • Sorptive capacity: 530 mL/m²
  • Sorptive rate: Less than 0.3 seconds
  • Particles ≥0.5 µm: 8.4 × 106 particles/m²
  • Fibers greater than 100 µm: 2,000 fibers/m²
  • NVR, IPA extractant: 0.06 g/m²
  • NVR, DIW extractant: 0.01 g/m²
  • Sodium: 0.15 ppm
  • Potassium: 0.03 ppm
  • Chloride: 0.10 ppm
  • Particle and fiber methods: Texwipe TM22 and applicable cited IEST/ASTM references
  • NVR method: Texwipe TM1
  • Ionic method: Texwipe TM18
  • Absorbency method: Texwipe TM20

Technical-data interpretation: These values are typical AlphaWipe® material analyses, not guaranteed individual TX1034 lot-release limits. They should not be treated as finished-surface cleanliness specifications or as exact quantities of the pre-wet solution.

Particles, fibers, NVR, and ionic contamination
  • Particles: Can originate from the substrate or be transferred from a contaminated surface.
  • Fibers: May affect exposed products, precision components, and sensitive equipment.
  • Nonvolatile residue: Can remain on a surface after the cleaning solution evaporates.
  • IPA-extracted NVR: Measures extractables under a defined alcohol test method.
  • DIW-extracted NVR: Measures a different water-extractable fraction.
  • Ions: Can matter in corrosion-sensitive or high-reliability applications.
  • Wiping pressure: May affect abrasion and contaminant release.
  • Change-out: Helps reduce redistribution of collected contamination.
  • Qualification: Compare the completed wiping process with the facility's acceptance limits.

Cleanliness principle: Low-linting polyester is not necessarily suitable for every critical final-cleaning application. Review the current test data and determine whether another qualified substrate or edge construction is necessary.

Nonsterile TX1034 versus sterile STX1034
  • TX1034: Nonsterile AlphaSat®, 4" × 4".
  • STX1034: Sterile AlphaSat®, 4" × 4".
  • Shared material family: Polyester AlphaWipe®.
  • Shared formulation: 70% IPA / 30% DIW.
  • TX1034 packaging: 200 wipes per reclosable bag.
  • STX1034 packaging: 50 wipes per reclosable bag.
  • TX1034 case: Four bags, 800 wipes.
  • STX1034 case: Eight bags, 400 wipes.

200-wipe reclosable bag: solvent preservation and dispensing
  1. Confirm identity: Check TX1034 and the manufacturer's lot information.
  2. Inspect packaging: Look for tears, damaged closure, or leakage.
  3. Follow cleanroom transfer controls: Prepare the exterior package as required.
  4. Open only as needed: Limit exposure of the remaining wipes.
  5. Dispense carefully: Avoid contacting unused material with contaminated gloves.
  6. Reseal promptly: Minimize unnecessary IPA evaporation.
  7. Keep the closure clean: Prevent contamination of the slider or opening.
  8. Check wetness: Ensure the wipe is suitable for the intended step.
  9. Avoid refilling: Do not add unapproved IPA or other liquids.
  10. Follow in-use controls: Apply the facility's approved open-package period.
  11. Discard compromised material: Follow quality and safety procedures.

Dispensing consideration: The 200-wipe slider bag may be opened repeatedly. Prompt resealing helps control solvent loss, but does not establish unlimited open-bag life or guarantee unchanged wetness after prolonged exposure.

Best-practice small-surface wiping procedure
  1. Review the SOP: Confirm the exact wiper and cleaning chemistry.
  2. Assess compatibility: Verify IPA and polyester are suitable for the surface.
  3. Inspect wetness: Use material that meets the task's wetting requirements.
  4. Fold appropriately: Prepare controlled wiping faces if specified.
  5. Start at the designated point: Follow the approved clean-to-dirty sequence.
  6. Use controlled strokes: Maintain the prescribed direction and overlap.
  7. Apply appropriate pressure: Avoid unnecessary fabric abrasion or liquid squeezing.
  8. Protect nearby interfaces: Prevent solvent entry into seams, connectors, and openings.
  9. Change wiping faces: Avoid dragging collected contamination onto cleaned areas.
  10. Replace loaded material: Follow the procedure's change-out criteria.
  11. Maintain required wetness: Use additional wipes as necessary.
  12. Allow approved drying: Follow equipment and surface requirements.
  13. Dispose appropriately: Use the designated alcohol-wipe disposal procedure.
  14. Reseal the bag: Preserve unused contents.
  15. Document the activity: Complete applicable cleaning records.

Technique control: Define folding, wiping direction, pressure, overlap, maximum coverage, and replacement criteria. Factory pre-wetting improves formulation consistency but does not replace qualified operator technique.

Avoiding residue transfer, streaking, and solvent pooling
  • Streaking: Evaluate surface soil, loaded wipe faces, and residue requirements.
  • Haze: Assess compatibility of the chemistry with the surface finish.
  • Solvent migration: Avoid forcing liquid into seams or component interfaces.
  • Electronics: Follow equipment cleaning restrictions and electrical safety procedures.
  • Adjacent surfaces: Keep the wiping pattern within the designated area.
  • Contamination transfer: Replace wipes rather than reusing visibly loaded faces.
  • Drying: Follow approved dry-down requirements.
  • Repeated passes: Use only the number and direction required by the procedure.

Process limitation: Pre-wetted wipes reduce separate liquid application but do not eliminate the possibility of pooling, smearing, or contamination transfer. Small electronic openings and sensitive interfaces may require a specialized cleaning tool rather than a folded wipe.

Cleaning versus disinfection: understanding the 70% IPA claim
  • Cleaning: Physical wiping removes compatible soils and residues.
  • IPA concentration: Describes the supplied formulation.
  • Disinfection: Requires suitable efficacy evidence and an approved procedure.
  • Contact time: Must be established for the intended microbial-control outcome.
  • Evaporation: Can affect how long the surface remains wet.
  • Sporicidal needs: Do not assume 70% IPA replaces the specified sporicidal treatment.
  • Significant soil: May require cleaning before application of a disinfectant.
  • Finished-product sterility: TX1034 is nonsterile.
  • Regulated operations: Follow applicable facility and compounding procedures.

Disinfection limitation: 70% IPA does not automatically establish a sterile, sporicidal, or validated disinfectant product. The intended microbial-control procedure must have appropriate efficacy evidence, wet-contact requirements, and process controls.
