About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. For sterile programs, the focus is on controlled laundering/processing, solvent-safe packaging, lot-specific documentation, and sterility assurance practices that support repeatable, audit-ready adoption in aseptic and sterile environments.

 

TX3220 Sterile TexTra combines a heavyweight, high-sorbency polyester knit with gamma irradiation and packaging controls intended to simplify sterile wipe-down workflows while reducing the burden of in-house autoclave prep, documentation, and validation. 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.

TX3220 Features:
  • Cleanroom-laundered 100% polyester knit with thermally sealed borders
  • Absorbency of a two-ply wiper (high-capacity sorption in a single-ply platform)
  • Good abrasion resistance
  • Gamma irradiated to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6
  • Double-bagged in solvent-safe bags
  • Header strip protects wipers that remain in bag after opening
  • Lot-specific information attached to each case
  • Certificate of Processing confirms radiation dosage
  • Certificate of Compliance
  • Expiration date marked on each package
  • Independent quality control audits for sterility assurance
TX3220 Benefits:
  • Pre-sterilized for aseptic and sterile environments: Supports sterile introduction and use without on-site sterilization steps.
  • Eliminates autoclave prep burden: Reduces preparation, documentation, and validation requirements associated with autoclaving wipers.
  • High liquid capacity in a large format: Large wiper size and liquid capacity simplify the application and removal of large volumes of cleaning and disinfecting solutions.
  • Strength under rigorous wiping: Designed for robust wipe-downs with minimal release of particles and fibers (process-dependent).
  • Low visible fiber release: Extremely low levels of releasable visible fibers consistent with requirements for sterile ISO Class 5-6 environments.
  • Broad chemistry tolerance posture: Positioned to withstand exposure to common cleaning and disinfecting solutions including bleaches, phenols, and quats (verify compatibility to your chemistry and SOP).
  • Controlled introduction packaging: Packaging permits alcohol wipedown of exterior bag before introduction of inner bag to sterile environments.
  • Audit-friendly traceability: Lot-specific documentation supports lot-to-lot traceability and individual-lot quality review.
Common Applications:
  • Engineered for high-sorption use in ISO Class 5-6 environments
  • Sterile wiping of environmental surfaces and production equipment in aseptic fill areas
  • Applying and removing large volumes of cleaning and disinfecting solutions
  • Spill control
  • Sorptive work surface and staging support
Best-Practice Use:
  • Wipe down before entry: In a material airlock, alcohol-wipe the exterior bag before introducing the inner bag into higher-grade areas.
  • Open with sterile discipline: Use controlled opening technique to avoid pulling the outer bag over the inner bag; keep the inner bag protected until point-of-use.
  • Use the header strip correctly: Treat the header strip as the “guard” that helps protect remaining wipers after opening; do not remove it unless your SOP requires it.
  • Fold for control: Fold into consistent pads and rotate to clean faces early; avoid re-wiping with a loaded face.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line, overlapping strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to reduce redeposition during wet wipe-downs.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly loaded, begins smearing, or when liquid hold-up starts dropping during solution removal.
Selection Notes (TX3220 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3220 vs. non-sterile TexTra (TX2424): Choose TX3220 when sterile presentation and SAL documentation are required; choose TX2424 when sterility is not required and you want the same TexTra performance concept in a non-sterile workflow.
  • TX3220 vs. sterile blended nonwoven wipes: If your SOP favors a blended cellulose/polyester sterile wipe for disinfectant spread and first-pass lift, compare to sterile nonwoven options; choose TX3220 when high sorption capacity and polyester knit strength are the dominant drivers.
  • Single-ply high-capacity vs. two-ply platforms: TX3220 is positioned as an alternative to two-ply polyester wipers; if your process is limited by capacity per wipe, size-up/format choices and wipe-change frequency typically matter more than ply count.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe TexTra® (Sterile) Polyester / Cleanroom Processed Sterile Wipe-Down & Surface Prep 12" x 12" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3220 Sterile TexTra® 12" x 12" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper — larger format sterile polyester wiping for repeatable surface prep and routine controlled wipe-downs

Texwipe TX3220 Sterile TexTra® 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: TX3220 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.

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.
