Texwipe TX1036 AlphaSat® 6" x 6" Polyester Cleanroom Wipers - Pre-Wetted 70% IPA / 30% DIW - 75/Bag - 900/Case

Texwipe TX1036 AlphaSat® is a non-sterile, pre-wetted cleanroom wiper manufactured using AlphaWipe® 100% continuous-filament polyester fabric. Its double-knit, no-run interlock construction and cleanroom-laundered cut edges provide a durable, low-linting wiping material for routine cleaning, surface preparation, and compatible residue removal in controlled environments.

Each nominal 6" x 6" wiper is factory pre-wetted with 70% USP-grade isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 30% deionized water (DIW). The manufacturer identifies the wetting solution as filtered to 0.2 µm. This ready-to-use formulation helps reduce manual alcohol dilution, individual-wipe wetting, and excessive use of spray bottles during controlled cleaning operations.

The continuous-filament polyester knit provides strength and resistance to snagging during appropriate wiping of equipment, fixtures, and certain abrasive surfaces. Its compact 6" x 6" dimensions provide useful cleaning coverage for tools, smaller workspaces, laboratory equipment, and production accessories where a larger 9" x 9" wipe may be unnecessary.

TX1036 is cleanroom laundered and packaged to help control particles, fibers, ions, and nonvolatile residues. Texwipe identifies the product for ISO Classes 4 through 8 and EU GMP Grades A through D. These environmental designations describe the manufacturer's intended use range; they do not override facility-specific sterility, contamination-control, or material qualification requirements.

TX1036 is supplied in reclosable slider bags containing 75 pre-wetted wipers each. One manufacturer case contains 12 bags, totaling 900 wipers. The slider-bag format supports controlled dispensing and helps limit IPA evaporation when promptly and properly closed.

Polyester Cleaning Advantage: TX1036 combines a durable, cleanroom-laundered AlphaWipe® polyester substrate with factory-prepared 70% IPA / 30% DIW. Its compact 6" x 6" size, cut-edge construction, and 75-count reclosable bags support repeatable wiping practices and consistent solvent application across qualified cleaning operations.

Polyester Material, Knit Structure and Cut Edge:

TX1036 uses AlphaWipe® continuous-filament polyester in a double-knit, no-run interlock structure. This material provides strength, liquid sorption, and resistance to snagging during normal wiping, while cleanroom laundering helps reduce unwanted contamination contributions.

  • 100% Polyester: Synthetic fiber material designed for controlled wiping.
  • Continuous Filaments: Reduce the number of loose staple-fiber ends present in the substrate.
  • Double-Knit Interlock: Provides a mechanically durable, flexible wiping structure.
  • No-Run Fabric: Helps resist unraveling and snagging during normal use.
  • Cleanroom Laundering: Reduces removable particles, ions, and residues before packaging.
  • Laundered Cut Edge: The edges are cut and cleanroom processed; they are not laser sealed or ultrasonically sealed.
  • Surface Contact: Suitable for normal wiping of compatible smooth or moderately abrasive equipment surfaces.
  • Fiber Control: A cut edge does not provide the same fiber containment as a sealed-border product.
  • Critical Finishing: Evaluate a qualified sealed-edge polyester alternative when exceptionally stringent fiber-release or particle limits apply.
  • Material Qualification: Confirm that the substrate's characteristics meet the requirements of the cleaning process.

Edge Construction Guidance: TX1036 is a cleanroom-laundered, cut-edge polyester wiper. It should not be described as a sealed-edge or sealed-border product. When a procedure specifies sealed edges for critical particle and fiber control, choose a separately qualified wiper designed for that requirement.

70% IPA / 30% DIW Wetting Chemistry:

TX1036 is pre-wetted with USP-grade 70% IPA and 30% DIW using a 0.2 µm filtered solution. This factory-prepared chemistry supports consistent solvent availability when wipers are dispensed and used under controlled conditions.

  • 70% IPA: Supports the removal of compatible processing residues, oils, and soils.
  • 30% DIW: Provides the water component of the prepared cleaning solution.
  • USP-Grade Alcohol: Identified by Texwipe for TX1036.
  • 0.2 µm Filtration: Manufacturer filtration of the wetting solution before packaging.
  • Consistent Preparation: Reduces operator variability associated with alcohol mixing and dilution.
  • Controlled Wetness: Supports repeatable wiping procedures when packaging is properly handled.
  • Reduced Overspray: Allows solvent to be applied directly through the wiper.
  • Evaporation: IPA may evaporate from exposed wipers or bags left open.
  • Surface Compatibility: Verify suitability with plastics, coatings, adhesives, labels, and sensitive finishes.
  • Non-Sterile Status: Filtering the solution does not make the finished TX1036 wiper sterile.
  • Disinfection: The formulation does not independently establish product-specific registered disinfectant efficacy.
  • Sporicidal Treatment: A qualified sporicide is required when the procedure specifies sporicidal activity.

Chemistry Guidance: TX1036 is a non-sterile polyester cleaning wiper pre-wetted with 70% IPA / 30% DIW. Its defined alcohol concentration supports controlled cleaning but does not replace separately required sterilization, validated disinfection, sporicidal treatment, or surface-compatibility testing.

Best-Practice Wiping Procedure:

TX1036 can support repeatable wipe-downs when operators follow an approved procedure for package handling, wiping direction, surface coverage, and wipe replacement.

  1. Verify Product Suitability: Confirm TX1036 is approved for the room, equipment surface, and cleaning task.
  2. Inspect Packaging: Check the bag for damage and verify the correct part number, lot, and expiration date.
  3. Prepare the Area: Follow the facility's prescribed cleaning sequence and controlled-area introduction procedure.
  4. Use Appropriate Gloves: Wear cleanroom gloves and required protective equipment.
  5. Open the Slider Bag: Open only enough to remove the required wipe.
  6. Dispense Carefully: Avoid touching the unused wipes with contaminated gloves.
  7. Reseal Immediately: Close the slider to help preserve remaining wipe wetness.
  8. Fold the Wiper: Create manageable wiping faces where the SOP permits.
  9. Use Controlled Strokes: Wipe in straight, overlapping passes according to the approved direction.
  10. Maintain Consistent Pressure: Avoid excessive abrasion and unnecessary scrubbing.
  11. Change Wiping Faces: Rotate to a clean section to reduce redeposition.
  12. Replace When Necessary: Discard wipes that become soiled, damaged, dry, or unsuitable for the procedure.
  13. Do Not Reuse: Never return used wipes to the original bag.
  14. Complete Documentation: Record any required cleaning and material-use information.

Wiping Guidance: Factory pre-wetting reduces solvent preparation steps, but cleaning consistency still depends on wipe handling, direction, overlap, replacement frequency, and keeping the slider bag properly closed.

Reclosable Bag Dispensing and Evaporation Control:

The reclosable slider bag helps preserve the factory-prepared wetness of TX1036 wipers. Improper closure, extended open time, or excessive heat can reduce solution availability and affect wiping consistency.

  • Open Only When Needed: Minimize unnecessary air exposure.
  • Remove Wipes Carefully: Protect unused materials from glove and surface contact.
  • Close the Slider Completely: Verify closure after dispensing.
  • Limit Exposure to Heat: Avoid staging or storing the bag near heat sources.
  • Inspect Wipe Wetness: Discard inadequately wetted material when the procedure requires consistent saturation.
  • Maintain Package Cleanliness: Keep the opening away from contaminated surfaces.
  • Follow Opened-Bag Procedures: Apply the facility's approved in-use time and handling rules.
  • Preserve Lot Information: Keep product identification available where traceability is required.
  • Use Appropriate Storage: Follow the current manufacturer SDS and applicable flammable-material storage requirements.

Dispensing Guidance: A reclosable bag helps minimize evaporation but does not guarantee unchanged solvent loading after prolonged exposure. If wipes become dry or begin leaving unexpected residues, evaluate packaging integrity, storage conditions, and the approved cleaning method.

Typical Particle, Fiber, Absorbency and Extractables Performance:

Texwipe publishes typical laboratory performance data for the AlphaWipe® substrate family used in AlphaSat® wipers. These values support material evaluation but should not be represented as certified lot-specific TX1036 acceptance limits.

Typical Manufacturer Characteristic Reported Value
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
Typical Sodium 0.15 ppm
Typical Potassium 0.03 ppm
Typical Chloride 0.10 ppm
Sorptive Capacity 530 mL/m²
Sorptive Rate Less than 0.3 seconds
Basis Weight 158 g/m²

These results represent manufacturer-reported typical analyses under specified testing methods. Actual cleaning outcomes depend on the contamination type, surface characteristics, wetting solution, and applied wiping procedure.

Performance Data Guidance: Typical particle, fiber, ionic, and nonvolatile-residue results are not individual-lot specifications or guarantees of surface cleanliness. The manufacturer has published different typical values in earlier technical sheets; use the current linked Texwipe document when evaluating the material.

Selection Notes: TX1036 vs. Other AlphaSat® and AlphaWipe® Products:

Texwipe offers several AlphaSat® pre-wetted polyester sizes and dry AlphaWipe® configurations. The wiper size, solution concentration, package quantity, and sterility should match the approved cleaning procedure.

  • Choose TX1034: When a small 4" x 4" pre-wetted polyester wiper is sufficient.
  • Choose TX1036: When a 6" x 6" format provides the desired balance of wiping coverage and control.
  • Choose TX1039: When a larger 9" x 9" pre-wetted polyester wiper is preferred.
  • Choose STX1034: When a sterile pre-wetted polyester presentation is required and the smaller format is appropriate.
  • Choose Dry AlphaWipe®: When the approved procedure requires a dry substrate or process-specific wetting chemistry.
  • Evaluate Edge Requirements: AlphaSat® with AlphaWipe® uses cut-edge polyester. Select a separately qualified sealed-border product when necessary.
  • Confirm Pack Configuration: Wipers per bag and cases differ among the available models.

Selection Guidance: TX1036 is the 6" x 6" non-sterile AlphaSat® configuration with 75 wipes per reclosable bag. Its polyester material and 70% IPA chemistry do not automatically make it interchangeable with sterile, sealed-edge, or differently formulated wipers.

Safety and Chemical Compatibility:

TX1036 contains isopropyl alcohol, a flammable solvent. Use appropriate ventilation, material compatibility checks, storage controls, and waste-handling practices according to the current Safety Data Sheet and facility requirements.

  • Flammability: Keep away from ignition sources, sparks, open flames, and excessive heat.
  • Ventilation: Follow appropriate controls for alcohol vapor exposure.
  • Personal Protective Equipment: Use gloves, eye protection, and other equipment appropriate for the task.
  • Surface Compatibility: Evaluate plastics, coatings, adhesives, labels, and sensitive finishes before wiping.
  • Electronic Equipment: Follow manufacturer-approved cleaning instructions and electrical safety precautions.
  • Polyester Compatibility: Verify the substrate and wetting solution are appropriate for the intended process.
  • Non-Sterile Presentation: Do not substitute for a sterile wiper when sterile consumables are required.
  • Disinfection: Do not assume that 70% IPA pre-wetting independently establishes validated microbial efficacy.
  • Sporicidal Requirements: Use a separately qualified sporicide where specified.
  • Hazardous Drug Residues: Do not assume the wipe provides validated hazardous-drug deactivation or decontamination.
  • Shipping: Observe applicable current hazardous-material classification, packaging, transportation-mode, and carrier requirements.
  • Disposal: Follow the applicable procedures for solvent-containing wipes and contaminated waste.

Safety Guidance: TX1036 is non-sterile, contains flammable 70% IPA, and should be used only on compatible surfaces under approved procedures. It is not independently established as a registered disinfectant or sporicide, and filtered wetting chemistry does not make the finished wiper sterile.

ISO Class 4–8 EU GMP Grades A–D Nonsterile 100% Polyester Cut Edge 70% USP-Grade IPA / 30% DIW 0.2 µm Filtered Solution 6" × 6" 75 Wipers / Bag 900 Wipers / Case

Texwipe TX1036 AlphaSat®: compact, low-linting polyester cleanroom wipers with 70% IPA for controlled surface cleaning

Texwipe TX1036 AlphaSat® Pre-Wetted Cleanroom Wipers are nonsterile, disposable cleaning wipes manufactured from AlphaWipe® 100% continuous-filament polyester material. They are designed for controlled-environment cleaning applications that benefit from low particle and fiber release, consistent solvent delivery, and durable cut-edge construction.

The 6" × 6" (15 × 15 cm) wipers feature a double-knit, no-run interlock polyester construction that is cleanroom laundered to reduce unwanted contamination. The material is designed to resist snagging and excessive abrasion when used on compatible equipment surfaces.

TX1036 is pre-wetted with 0.2 µm-filtered USP-grade 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 30% deionized water (DIW). The factory-prepared formulation helps reduce manual dilution, spray-bottle use, and operator variation associated with wetting individual wipes.

Texwipe identifies TX1036 for ISO Classes 4–8 / Classes 10–100,000 and EU GMP Grades A–D, subject to the applicable contamination-control and sterile-material requirements. TX1036 is supplied nonsterile.

The product is packaged in reclosable slider bags containing 75 wipers. Each manufacturer case includes 12 bags, totaling 900 wipers.

Operations takeaway: TX1036 combines a compact polyester format, low-linting construction, standardized 70% IPA chemistry, and controlled slider-bag dispensing. Effective cleaning still depends on correct wiping technique, compatible surfaces, appropriate wipe change-out, and maintaining sufficient wetness throughout the task.


ISO-first context: cleaning materials in controlled environments

ISO 14644-5:2025 addresses contamination control through a documented Cleanroom Operations Control Programme involving personnel practices, equipment, cleaning, materials, maintenance, and environmental management.

Cleaning wipers can introduce particles, fibers, extractables, or contaminants if their material, chemistry, packaging, or handling is inappropriate for the application. Their selection should therefore be based on more than the stated environmental ISO classification.

Pre-wetted wipes support standardized solvent preparation and reduce reliance on manual bottle-wetting methods. However, wiping direction, operator pressure, surface coverage, change-out frequency, and required wet-contact conditions must also be controlled.

Control point: Texwipe identifies TX1036 for ISO Classes 4–8 and EU GMP Grades A–D, but the finished product is nonsterile. Where an aseptic operation requires sterile wiping supplies, use a separately qualified sterile product rather than relying solely on the stated ISO environment range.

100% continuous-filament polyester: construction and benefits

TX1036 uses the AlphaWipe® polyester substrate. The continuous-filament double-knit construction provides a durable wiping material designed for applications where particle and fiber contribution must be managed.

  • Continuous-filament polyester: Helps control loose fiber generation compared with many short-fiber materials.
  • Double-knit construction: Provides strength and stability during normal wiping.
  • No-run interlock: Supports resistance to snagging and mechanical damage.
  • Cleanroom laundering: Helps reduce material-associated particles, ions, and nonvolatile residues.
  • Cut edges: Provide the specified product construction, distinct from sealed-border wiping materials.
  • Soft, flexible format: Supports controlled contact with suitable equipment and parts.
  • Absorbency: Allows the substrate to receive and release compatible cleaning solutions.
  • Abrasion resistance: Supports wiping of appropriately compatible rougher surfaces.
  • Single-use design: Limits contamination carryover when used and discarded correctly.

Construction distinction: TX1036 is a cut-edge polyester wipe, not a sealed-border polyester wipe. The use of continuous-filament material does not eliminate all possible particle or fiber release, particularly when the substrate is damaged or subjected to excessive abrasion.


Cut edge versus sealed border: choosing the required cleanliness level
  • TX1036 cut edge: Uses the cleanroom-laundered AlphaWipe® substrate.
  • Sealed-border construction: Uses a separate edge-finishing process intended to control edge-related shedding.
  • General wiping: Cut-edge polyester may be appropriate where the verified material performance meets the process limits.
  • Highly critical surfaces: May require a separately qualified sealed-border product.
  • Particle release: Evaluate published data alongside surface abrasion and operator technique.
  • Fiber release: Consider allowable limits for the actual process or product.
  • Wipe selection: Do not assume all 100% polyester products have identical edge performance.
  • Qualification: Evaluate the exact SKU and wiping method before changing an approved cleaning process.

Selection principle: If a purchasing specification requires sealed edges, TX1036 does not meet that construction requirement. Compare the applicable sealed-border polyester model and its own technical data before substitution.


70% USP-grade IPA / 30% DIW: chemistry and filtration
  • Isopropyl alcohol: 70% of the supplied formulation.
  • Alcohol grade: USP-grade.
  • Water component: 30% deionized water.
  • Filtration: 0.2 µm-filtered solution.
  • Pre-wetted presentation: Reduces the need for manual wipe wetting.
  • Prepared concentration: Helps avoid variation from on-site alcohol dilution.
  • Controlled application: Wiping directs the solution to the intended surface.
  • Residue removal: May assist removal of compatible oils, handling soils, and processing aids.
  • Evaporation: Alcohol losses can change remaining wipe wetness during extended exposure.
  • Surface compatibility: Must be assessed before repeated IPA cleaning.

Filtration limitation: A 0.2 µm-filtered wetting solution does not make the finished TX1036 wipe sterile. TX1036 is explicitly designated as nonsterile by Texwipe.


Pre-wet loading: consistency without an unsupported liquid-volume specification

Texwipe describes AlphaSat® as providing repeatable wetness and controlled solvent delivery, supporting consistent cleaning while reducing manual application of IPA solutions.

  • Factory pre-wetting: Provides the prepared 70% IPA / 30% DIW formulation.
  • Wetting consistency: Supports predictable point-of-use cleaning.
  • VOC management: Reduces uncontrolled free-liquid dispensing relative to some bottle-based techniques.
  • Exact individual fluid loading: No published mL-per-wipe value was established from the reviewed manufacturer TDS.
  • Surface coverage: Must be assessed for the area and technique used.
  • Wipe wetness: Should remain adequate for the approved cleaning procedure.
  • Bag closure: Prompt resealing limits evaporative changes.
  • Wipe replacement: A new wipe should be used when the existing one is insufficiently wet or contaminated.

Loading interpretation: Repeatable factory wetness does not establish an exact mL-per-wipe release limit or a guaranteed surface wet-contact duration. Obtain additional manufacturer documentation or validate the operating method where numerical loading requirements apply.

  • Ionic contamination: May affect sensitive surfaces and process requirements.
  • Surface texture: Rough or sharp features can increase abrasion or snagging.
  • Wipe condition: Damaged or contaminated wipes should be replaced.
  • Cleaning method: Pressure, stroke pattern, and contact time can influence results.
  • Qualification: Use actual process limits and appropriately representative testing.

Critical cleanliness: A low-linting, cleanroom-laundered polyester substrate is not particle-free or residue-free. For especially demanding applications, compare quantitative test data and actual surface results with the facility's acceptance criteria.


6" × 6" format: small-area cleaning and waste reduction

The compact TX1036 size can be practical when operators need controlled contact over smaller surfaces rather than a full 9" × 9" wiping area.

  • Workstation touch points: Helps clean designated handles and controls.
  • Small tools: Provides an appropriately sized wiping surface for suitable fixtures.
  • Equipment components: Helps manage wiping around compatible small parts.
  • Localized residue: Supports controlled cleaning without unnecessarily large wipes.
  • Wipe folding: Allows clean wiping faces to be used sequentially where the SOP permits.
  • Solvent consumption: May reduce unnecessary use compared with a larger pre-wetted wipe for a small area.
  • Dispensing: Supports access from a reclosable slider bag.
  • Coverage planning: Establish the number of wipes required for each area.

Size selection: Smaller wipes can reduce unnecessary material use for limited areas. Larger surfaces may require multiple TX1036 wipes or a larger qualified format to prevent excessive reuse of contaminated wiping faces.


Reclosable slider bag: dispensing and solvent preservation
  1. Verify the SKU: Confirm TX1036 and the correct lot information.
  2. Inspect the packaging: Check for leakage, damage, or an improperly functioning closure.
  3. Follow material-transfer rules: Introduce the bag into the appropriate area using the approved procedure.
  4. Open the slider: Expose only the required dispensing area.
  5. Remove wipes: Avoid contact with remaining unused material.
  6. Close immediately: Reseal the bag to reduce evaporation.
  7. Keep the slider clean: Prevent contamination of the closure and bag opening.
  8. Monitor wetness: Confirm the dispensed wipe meets the cleaning procedure.
  9. Control in-use duration: Follow applicable open-pack restrictions.
  10. Reject compromised packaging: Apply the approved disposition procedure for contamination, leakage, or unusual dryness.

Evaporation control: Reclosable packaging helps maintain the consistency of remaining wipes. Do not leave the bag open for extended periods or add unqualified liquid to restore wetness.


Best-practice cleanroom wiping: a controlled procedure
  1. Verify the approved SOP: Confirm that TX1036 is specified or permitted.
  2. Check surface compatibility: Confirm suitability for IPA and polyester wiping.
  3. Inspect the wipe: Verify adequate wetness and no visible damage.
  4. Fold if required: Create defined clean wiping surfaces.
  5. Begin in the correct area: Apply the prescribed clean-to-dirty sequence.
  6. Use overlapping strokes: Follow the established wiping direction.
  7. Control pressure: Avoid unnecessary abrasion or excessive liquid squeezing.
  8. Rotate wiping faces: Use clean faces as the method permits.
  9. Replace contaminated wipes: Prevent transferring collected residue to other areas.
  10. Maintain required wetness: Use additional wipes if necessary.
  11. Observe contact requirements: If disinfection is included, follow the qualified wet-contact duration.
  12. Dispose appropriately: Use the designated alcohol-wipe waste stream.
  13. Reseal the bag: Protect remaining wipes.
  14. Document cleaning: Complete any required batch or equipment cleaning records.

Method standardization: Wipe direction, overlap, pressure, coverage, number of passes, change-out, and any wet-contact time should be documented. Correct selection of a cleanroom wipe does not replace reproducible operator technique.


Cleaning versus disinfection: why 70% IPA requires careful interpretation
  • Cleaning: Physical wiping helps remove suitable soils and processing residues.
  • IPA formulation: Supplies alcohol and water for compatible cleaning procedures.
  • Disinfection: Requires applicable efficacy evidence and an approved process.
  • Wet-contact duration: Must be established for the actual disinfection objective.
  • Rapid evaporation: Can affect the period during which a surface remains wet.
  • Sporicidal requirements: Do not assume an IPA wipe replaces the facility's sporicidal agent.
  • Heavy soil: May require separate removal before disinfection.
  • Regulatory labeling: Do not assume TX1036 has an independently established EPA-registered disinfectant claim.
  • Sterility: TX1036 is nonsterile even though it contains filtered IPA solution.
  • Compounding use: Follow applicable USP requirements and the facility's approved SOP.

Critical distinction: Pre-wetted with 70% IPA is not equivalent to sterile, sporicidal, or universally validated disinfection performance. The required agent, process, and evidence depend on the intended use.


Chemical compatibility: polyester and IPA on controlled surfaces
  • Stainless steel: Common in compatible IPA cleaning, subject to surface-finish and residue requirements.
  • Glass: Evaluate any streaking and final optical-cleanliness requirements.
  • Plastics: Confirm resistance to repeated IPA exposure.
  • Acrylic and coated surfaces: Check for haze, crazing, or coating damage.
  • Elastomers: Evaluate gaskets and seals for solvent compatibility.
  • Adhesives: Determine whether alcohol affects bonding or labels.
  • Electronic equipment: Follow the equipment manufacturer's cleaning and power-safety instructions.
  • Optical surfaces: Evaluate the required final particle and residue levels.
  • Abrasive surfaces: Assess potential mechanical damage or fiber release.
  • Product-contact equipment: Follow the established cleaning-validation procedure.

Compatibility principle: Evaluate both the 70% IPA formulation and the polyester substrate. A surface may tolerate the solvent while requiring a different material to meet particle, fiber, abrasion, or residue limits.


Flammable IPA: storage, ventilation, and disposal safety
  • Ignition sources: Keep the product away from open flames, sparks, and ignition hazards.
  • Ventilation: Follow applicable workplace requirements for IPA vapor control.
  • Eye protection: Use task-appropriate protection where exposure is possible.
  • Gloves: Select gloves compatible with the actual chemical exposure.
  • Electronics: Follow equipment-specific cleaning restrictions.
  • Heat: Protect alcohol-containing packages from inappropriate temperature exposure.
  • Spills: Use the approved IPA response procedure.
  • Waste: Follow applicable disposal and flammable-waste controls.
  • Transport: Verify current shipment-specific hazardous-material classifications.
  • SDS: Consult the current manufacturer Safety Data Sheet.

Shipping limitation: Classification for alcohol-containing wipes depends on product packaging, shipment quantity, transport mode, and current regulations. Do not rely solely on an outdated ORM-D shipping designation.


Packaging and case quantity: 75 wipes per bag, 900 per case
  • Manufacturer part number: TX1036.
  • Individual wipe: 6" × 6" nonsterile polyester pre-wetted with 70% IPA.
  • Primary package: Reclosable slider bag.
  • Wipes per bag: 75.
  • Bags per case: 12.
  • Full-case quantity: 900 wipes.
  • Lot identification: Supports manufacturer traceability.
  • Receiving: Confirm the correct SKU, case count, package condition, and expiration.
  • Material transfer: Follow the approved controlled-environment entry procedure.
  • Open-package handling: Maintain closure integrity and correct dispensing.

Case calculation: 75 wipes per reclosable bag × 12 bags per case = 900 wipes per manufacturer case. This differs from the 200-count TX1034 and the 50-count TX1039 bag configurations.


Three-year shelf life and inventory control
  • Manufacturer-published shelf life: Three years from manufacture.
  • Actual expiration: Verify the applicable lot label.
  • Original packaging: Maintain protected packaging until use.
  • Bag closure: Keep the slider closed between dispensing events.
  • Evaporation: Avoid unnecessary exposure of alcohol-wetted contents.
  • Flammable-material controls: Follow the current SDS and facility requirements.
  • Heat and ignition: Keep away from inappropriate storage conditions.
  • Inventory rotation: Use the approved first-expiring-first-out method.
  • Lot traceability: Retain manufacturer identification.
  • Compromised packaging: Investigate leakage, damage, or unacceptable dryness.

Shelf-life distinction: The three-year published shelf life begins at manufacture, not delivery. Remaining usable life must be determined from the actual lot, packaging condition, storage history, and product labeling.

Comparison principle: The same 70% IPA formulation does not establish that polyester, polypropylene, and cellulose/polyester wipes are interchangeable. Compare fiber release, particles, nonvolatile residue, surface compatibility, and handling requirements.


When sealed-border polyester may be preferable
  • Edge sensitivity: Processes requiring sealed borders need a separately qualified model.
  • Critical surface finishing: A sealed-border product may be more suitable for stringent particle or fiber requirements.
  • Equipment abrasiveness: Evaluate both substrate construction and mechanical durability.
  • Residue limits: Consider NVR, ions, and other critical cleanliness data.
  • Pre-wet chemistry: Verify the exact solvent and grade for any replacement product.
  • Sterility: Select sterile material if required by the operation.
  • Change control: Document substitution and qualification decisions.

Product selection: Texwipe offers sealed-border pre-wetted polyester products, but TX1036 itself is cut edge. Choose a sealed-border SKU only when its specifications match the facility's process requirements.
