TX3215 SterileWipe AS10 12" x 12" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper

TX3215 SterileWipe AS10 is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), high-sorbency, sealed-border polyester knit wiper built for critical sterile environments. It is a two-ply, double-knit construction made from 100% continuous-filament polyester, and each package is gamma-irradiated to a 10−6 Sterility Assurance Level to support use in aseptic fill areas, sterile suites, prep rooms, and other sterile workflows.

Program note: TX3215 is commonly specified when teams want a larger 12" x 12" sterile wipe that can carry higher liquid load for disinfection and wet wipe-downs, while relying on thermally sealed borders to help reduce particle and fiber release at the perimeter during rigorous wiping.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) positions sterile wiping materials as engineered inputs for contamination-control programs where sterility assurance, lot traceability, and documentation discipline are part of routine quality review. In the SterileWipe™ AS10 platform, Texwipe pairs a high-sorbency, two-ply double-knit polyester with sealed borders and gamma irradiation intended to support critical sterile use cases and minimize handling-driven contamination risk at the point of use.

 

SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that sterility-and-documentation posture with continuity of supply and practical application support, plus the clean handoff teams typically require (lot identification, certificates and compliance paperwork as applicable) to maintain procurement reliability and audit readiness.

TX3215 Features:
  • Gamma irradiated to 10−6 Sterility Assurance Level, according to AAMI Guidelines
  • Lot specified information on each shipment simplifies record keeping
  • Certificate of Processing confirming radiation dosage
  • Certification of Compliance
  • Expiration date marked on each package
  • Cleanroom-laundered 100% polyester knit with thermally sealed borders
  • Large surface area with excellent sorbency
  • Independent quality control audits for sterility assurance
TX3215 Benefits:
  • Chemical-use flexibility: Withstands exposure to common cleaning and disinfecting solutions including bleaches, phenols, and quaternary ammonium compounds (verify compatibility to your chemistry and SOP).
  • Large-volume wet work: 12" x 12" format and liquid capacity can simplify application of larger volumes of cleaning and disinfecting solutions.
  • Contamination control in sterile areas: Extremely low levels of releasable particles and fibers are positioned as consistent with sterile Class 100 environment requirements (process-dependent).
  • Bag introduction control: Packaging supports alcohol wipe-down of the exterior bag before introducing the inner bag into sterile suites.
  • Rigorous wiping strength: Designed for strong wipe-downs with minimal release of fibers and particles; smooth glide over surfaces.
  • Traceability posture: Supports quality review of individual lots and lot-to-lot traceability.
Common Applications:
  • Engineered for high-sorbency use in the most critical sterile cleanroom environments
  • Sterile wiping of environmental surfaces and production equipment in aseptic fill areas
  • Applying larger volumes of cleaning, sterilizing, and disinfecting solutions
Best-Practice Use:
  • Stage the outer bag correctly: Wipe down the exterior bag per your sterile suite entry practice; open only when you are ready to transfer the inner bag.
  • Fold for control: Fold into consistent pads to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line, overlapping strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to reduce redeposition.
  • Wet-load control: For disinfectant application, use controlled wetness to maintain contact intent without dripping; reapply solution via SOP rather than overloading the wipe.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when a face becomes visibly loaded, starts smearing, or leaves residue.
Selection Notes (TX3215 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3215 vs. 9" x 9" sterile options: Select TX3215 when coverage per wipe and higher solution capacity matter; use smaller sterile formats when access is tight or when you want more frequent wipe changes for control.
  • Sterile knit vs. blended nonwoven: Sterile knit polyester is often selected for strength and controlled wiping under load; blended nonwoven options may be preferred for certain absorption profiles or general surface maintenance (process-dependent).
  • Edge construction: If edge risk is part of your particulate control strategy, prioritize sealed-border or sealed-edge constructions and confirm acceptance criteria in receiving/qualification.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe SterileWipe™ AS10 (Sterile) Polyester / Cleanroom Processed Sterile Wipe-Down & Surface Prep 12" x 12" Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX3215 SterileWipe™ AS10 12" x 12" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper — larger format sterile polyester wiping for controlled wipe-downs and repeatable cleaning methods

Texwipe TX3215 SterileWipe™ AS10 is a sterile, 12" x 12" polyester cleanroom wiper selected for controlled wipe-downs where method repeatability and residue management depend on disciplined technique. Polyester wiper platforms are commonly used when facilities want consistent wiping behavior across operators and when the SOP defines a controlled damp-film approach to prevent over-wetting and re-deposition. The larger 12" x 12" format can improve coverage per wipe on benches, carts, equipment exteriors, and staging surfaces (as defined in your SOP), while still supporting repeatable fold patterns and face control. As with all sterile wipes, outcomes depend on controlled introduction, maintaining package integrity, one-pass/one-face technique, and zone-based clean-to-less-clean flow. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, ions, and surface quality.

Operations takeaway: TX3215 supports ISO-aligned operations control by providing a sterile polyester platform in a larger format that can be standardized in the SOP (wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and discard point). If streaking or film is observed, tighten wetness control and enforce one-face-per-pass discipline.


ISO-first context: where wipers fit in cleanroom operations control

ISO 14644-5:2025 frames cleanroom performance around a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP) that governs personnel practices, material transfer, cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring. Wipers belong in that system because the wipe itself, the chemistry, and the technique directly affect residues, particles, and recontamination risk. If you clean parts, fixtures, tools, or work surfaces inside an ISO-class controlled environment, the method should be written, trained, and repeatable.

Control point: Most “wiper failures” are technique failures—over-wetting, re-wiping with a loaded face, backtracking into clean areas, or using a wiper beyond its change-out point.

Documentation rule: For controlled/validated programs, always base acceptance criteria on current manufacturer documentation and lot records (not web summaries).


What this wiper is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • Sterile wipe-down of larger surfaces (benches, carts, equipment exteriors) where repeatable technique and residue control are required.
  • Damp-film wiping using facility-approved sterile solvents/chemistries where the SOP defines wetness target and contact method (no pooling/dripping).
  • Surface preparation passes on smooth, non-product-contact areas prior to a defined disinfection step (as written in your SOP).
  • Intervention support in aseptic workflows where package control, controlled wetting, and one-pass/one-face technique are required.
  • General sterile cleaning where 12" x 12" size supports repeatable fold patterns and consistent operator technique across shifts.

Method note: Larger wipes can reduce the number of change-outs on broad surfaces, but they also require disciplined fold control so a loaded face is not reused. For confined geometries, define the swab method separately (one swab, one area; no re-dipping).


Best-practice use (reduce residues, particles, and rework)
  1. Control introduction: bring wipes into the cleanroom per your OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, and storage).
  2. Use clean-to-less-clean flow: wipe from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest zone; do not backtrack.
  3. Fold for control: fold to create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass, then refold.
  4. Damp-film technique: if using solvent, wet to a controlled damp state (not dripping).
  5. Straight-line strokes: use consistent pressure and unidirectional strokes; avoid circular scrubbing.
  6. Change-out triggers: discard when loaded, smeary, tacky, or when surface-quality requirements are at risk.

Method standardization tip: If outcomes differ by operator, lock four variables in the SOP: wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and change-out point.


Misuse controls & when not to use
  • If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe for sterile workflows.
  • If ultra-low residues/ions are gating: confirm requirements against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits.
  • If the surface is easily scratched: validate on delicate finishes; avoid excessive pressure.
  • If chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility and safety for solvents/cleaners; do not assume universal compatibility.

Recommended cleanroom glove pairing (ISO-aligned)

For ISO-controlled wiping applications, pair this cleanroom wipe with a cleanroom-processed, low-particle nitrile glove to reduce contamination transfer during handling and routine wipe-downs.

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

Recommended sterile swab pairing (detail cleaning & confined geometries)

For ports, crevices, and recessed features where a wiper cannot maintain contact control, use a sterile cleanroom swab to keep the cleaning method consistent and to reduce accidental contact with critical surfaces.

Swab discipline: Use a strict “one swab, one area” approach for sterile workflows. Do not re-dip; discard immediately if the tip is overloaded or if the swab contacts non-sterile surfaces.
