Pre-wetted wipes are often selected for one reason: they remove the solvent-handling variables that create “mystery” outcomes—open bottles that drift, squeeze-force variability, re-wetting mid-pass, and shared reservoirs that become back-contaminated. Texwipe TX1057 AlphaSat (9" × 9") targets that control gap with a 10% semiconductor-grade IPA / DI water wetting system, delivered in a sealed, resealable flatpack format.

The operational value is not just convenience. A lower-IPA wetting condition can support programs that want consistent damp wiping while limiting solvent loading at the point of use—especially in routine wipe-down, light soil removal, and controlled solution application/removal steps where “how it was applied” is the dominant variable.

TX1057 is intended for cleanroom wipe-down and solution handling where you want repeatable wetness without managing open bottles: benches and carts, equipment exteriors, staging surfaces, and maintenance wipe-downs. It is also a practical option for controlled areas where teams prefer a lower-IPA wetting condition for routine wiping, while still keeping cleanroom packaging and documentation discipline in scope.

TX1057 earns its place when the facility wants wet wiping that behaves like a controlled input:

• Standardized wetness: eliminates squeeze-force variability and discourages re-wetting mid-pass.
• Defined solution: pre-saturated with 10% semiconductor-grade IPA / DI water; wetting solution described as 0.2 μm filtered.
• Engineered substrate: built on Vectra AlphaSorb 10 sealed-border polyester knit wipers for controlled handling and durability.
• Packaging discipline: resealable flatpack supports staged use and reduces evaporation/exposure compared with open stacks.
• Operational efficiency: reduces wipe station “fuss time” and removes the need to maintain bulk solvent bottles at point-of-use.
• Traceability posture: lot-controlled cleanroom packaging supports change control and investigation speed when trends shift.

The “pre-wet wipe” label is incomplete without the substrate details. TX1057 uses sealed-border, continuous-filament polyester knit (Vectra AlphaSorb 10) as the carrier. Continuous filaments (long filaments) are a core control lever: they reduce loose fiber ends compared with staple-based constructions and hold together under folding, corner work, and moderate abrasion.

The sealed-border strategy matters operationally. Border/edge control is often where a wipe transitions from “cleaning tool” to “releasables source” during face rotation and edge-leading wipe patterns. A sealed border is a common technical step-up when edge-driven fibers or stringers show up in inspection or particle trending.

TX1057 is supplied as a 9" × 9" pre-wetted wipe in a resealable flatpack configuration. SOSCleanroom lists packaging as 50 wipers per flatpack and 4 flatpacks per case. The wetting system is described as 10% IPA / 90% DI water, filtered to 0.2 μm.

Translate those specs into outcomes. A 9" × 9" format encourages disciplined folding and fast face rotation—key for preventing redeposition. The flatpack presentation supports staged issuance: open, dispense, reseal, return to controlled storage.

In practice, wet wiping performance is governed by three interacting variables: (1) the wipe’s releasables profile (particles/fibers), (2) residue behavior (NVR and chemistry interactions), and (3) technique (face rotation, stroke direction, wetness control). TX1057’s main technical contribution is wetness repeatability—which reduces outcome spread across operators and shifts.

Treat published “typical” contamination values as a qualification starting point, not a contractual limit. If your process is inspection-driven (optics, high-gloss metals, coated surfaces) or corrosion/ECM sensitive (ionic concerns), validate the wipe/solution pairing in your real dry-down window and acceptance criteria.

Many facilities default to higher-IPA wetting for general cleaning, then spend time managing the side effects: over-wetting, streaking, wicking into seams, and inconsistent application between operators. A 10% IPA / DI water wetting condition can be a practical control move when the objective is consistent damp wiping for routine wipe-down and solution handling—not aggressive solvent action.

TX1057 performs best when technique is treated like a process input:

• Quarter-fold consistently to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces aggressively.
• One-direction, overlapping strokes for controlled removal; avoid back-and-forth scrubbing on residue-sensitive surfaces.
• Do not “top off” the pack with extra solvent—this breaks repeatability and changes the wetness model.
• Reseal immediately after dispensing; return the flatpack to controlled storage.
• Separate cleaning vs. sampling: if the step becomes validation-sensitive (TOC/HPLC/residue recovery), use method-aligned sampling consumables and defined chain-of-custody controls.

Because the wipes contain IPA, follow facility EHS requirements for storage, ventilation, and ignition-source control for alcohol-containing products.

A pre-wet wipe can still fail the process if handling is casual. The predictable failure modes (and controls) are:

• Leaving the pack open: drives dry-down and wetness drift. Control: open–dispense–reseal discipline and defined storage points.
• Overusing one face: turns cleaning into redeposition. Control: fold/rotate/discard rules tied to visible loading, not “get one more pass.”
• Wrong solvent strength for the soil: 10% IPA is a control choice, not a universal solution. Control: define escalation paths (e.g., validated stronger solvent step where required).
• Flooding seams and interfaces: creates wicking and residue artifacts. Control: damp wiping logic and edge-leading technique discipline.

The most defensible comparisons are to other pre-saturated knit polyester wipe programs where packaging discipline and documentation depth are part of the control posture.

Contec PROSAT (presaturated knitted Polynit wipes) is a close comparator category for facilities standardizing pre-wet knit polyester workflows, especially when they want a controlled solvent step delivered in a packaged format.

Berkshire SatPax (sealed-edge knit polyester presaturated systems) is an appropriate comparator when edge control and wetness repeatability are both being used as program controls—selection is typically driven by solvent system, packaging configuration, and how the wipe behaves in the facility’s real dry-down window.

TX1057 fits the “standardized damp wipe-down” tier: routine cleaning and solution handling where the dominant risk is operator-driven solvent variability, not a need for aggressive solvent chemistry. It is a strong option for daily wipe-down consistency—paired with clear escalation tools for (1) residue-sensitive finishing (often a higher-control polyester system), and (2) stronger chemistry steps where the soil load or acceptance criteria demand it.
