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