About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in contamination control by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. For sterile pre-wetted wipers, Texwipe emphasizes controlled solution preparation (high-purity IPA/DIW filtration), repeatable wetness delivery via resealable packaging, and validated sterility via gamma irradiation with lot-level documentation and expiration dating to support sterile-program requirements.

 

SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing discipline with a close working relationship with Texwipe focused on continuity of supply, clean documentation handoff (certs, lot traceability), and practical application support—so customers can standardize sterile wiping materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

Best-Practice Use:
  • Reseal discipline: Open only as needed; withdraw a single wiper and reseal promptly to limit IPA loss and protect remaining wipers.
  • Fold for control: Fold 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 re-deposition risk.
  • Exterior pack wipe-down: If your procedure requires it, wipe the exterior of the flexpack with alcohol before introducing it into sterile areas.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly loaded, tacky, or begins leaving streaks/residue.
Selection Notes (TX3216 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3216 vs. TX3213: Same Sterile PolySat family, same size, and same 70% IPA platform—but TX3216 is 20 wipers/flexpack, while TX3213 is 50 wipers/flexpack when higher count per pack better matches your staging and usage rate.
  • Sterile vs. non-sterile PolySat: If sterility validation and sterile documentation are required, select sterile PolySat; if sterile processing is not required, non-sterile PolySat (e.g., TX1051) may be considered during qualification.
  • Flexpack vs. tub formats: Choose flexpacks when reseal control and compact staging are priorities; consider tub/canister formats when dispenser-style access and higher throughput drive the workflow (validate against your gowning and disinfectant/solvent handling SOP).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe PolySat® (Sterile) Polypropylene / Pre-wetted 70% IPA Sterile Surface Prep & Routine Wipe-Down 9" x 11" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3216 Sterile PolySat® 9" x 11" Polypropylene Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA) — consistent damp-film wiping with a polypropylene platform

Texwipe TX3216 is a sterile PolySat® polypropylene cleanroom wiper (9" x 11") pre-wetted with 70% IPA to support consistent, operator-repeatable wipe-downs in controlled and aseptic workflows. Pre-wetted formats are often selected to reduce variability associated with manual wetting (over-wetting, pooling, and inconsistent coverage), particularly when routine wipe-downs are performed across shifts. Polypropylene wipe platforms are commonly used where facilities want a synthetic substrate with method-defined residue control and repeatable damp-film technique. As with all sterile wipe systems, governing controls include correct introduction into the classified area, maintaining package integrity, and disciplined one-pass/one-face technique with defined change-out triggers. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, surface quality, and chemistry compatibility.

Operations takeaway: TX3216 supports ISO-aligned operations control by standardizing wetness at the wipe level and reducing operator-dependent wetting variability. Keep primary packaging closed between uses to limit solvent loss, and standardize stroke count, fold pattern, and discard triggers in the SOP.

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.

Specifications (SKU controls for RFQs, SOPs, and receiving)
  • Product: Texwipe TX3216 Sterile PolySat® 9" x 11" Polypropylene Wiper, Pre-Wetted 70% IPA
  • Size: 9" x 11" (approx. 22.9 cm x 27.9 cm)

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)
  • Routine sterile wipe-down of benches, carts, and equipment touch points where controlled wetness improves repeatability versus manual wetting.
  • Controlled surface prep on smooth, non-product-contact surfaces prior to a defined disinfection step (as written in your SOP).
  • Wipe-down during aseptic interventions where sterility, package control, and disciplined change-outs are required.
  • Standardized wipe-down of tools and fixtures introduced into a controlled area, following material transfer and staging rules.
  • General sterile cleaning passes where consistent damp-film wiping and disciplined discard triggers are required (validate method outcomes against your residue/surface-quality expectations).

Method note: Pre-wetted IPA wipes reduce wetting variability, but the SOP still must define stroke pattern, contact expectations, and change-out triggers. If streaking is observed, reduce pressure and confirm one-face-per-pass discipline. 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.
