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 Vertex wipers, Texwipe describes a fully automated manufacturing approach with process monitoring intended to drive lot-to-lot consistency, while sealed-edge construction is used to minimize edge-driven particle release during demanding wipe steps.

 

Sterile Vertex formats such as TX3221 are gamma irradiated and supported by documentation practices (sterility validation, certificates/traceability) that help teams maintain audit readiness. 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.

TX3221 Features:
  • Two-ply, 100% continuous-filament polyester knit wiper
  • Sealed edges to help minimize particle release from wiper edges (process-dependent)
  • Designed for high sorption capacity for spill control, cleaning, and solution application
  • Gamma irradiated sterile product; validated to a Sterility Assurance Level of 10−6
  • Certificates of Processing/Compliance and lot traceability support documentation-driven programs
  • Quarterly bacterial endotoxin testing (LAL) and additional contamination-control verification practices (per manufacturer materials)
TX3221 Benefits:
  • High sorption capacity: Two-ply construction is designed to reduce the number of wipers needed for spill control and wet wipe-downs (process-dependent)
  • Edge-control in wet work: Sealed edges help limit fraying during folding and repeated strokes, reducing edge-driven releasables risk (process-dependent)
  • Sterile confidence: Gamma irradiation and sterility validation support sterile workflows and controlled transfer expectations
  • Solution handling performance: Built to absorb and release large volumes of cleaning and disinfecting solutions where controlled wetness matters
  • Audit readiness: Lot coding and documentation support qualification and ongoing procurement reliability
Common Applications:
  • Wiping and cleaning surfaces, equipment, and parts
  • Spill control and pickup of process fluids
  • Applying and removing lubricants, adhesives, residues, and other solutions including disinfectants
  • Cleaning with solvents such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethanol, acetone, and degreasers (verify compatibility to your chemistry and SOP)
  • Lining trays for holding, protecting, drying, and storing of parts, equipment, and devices
  • Appropriate for use with temperatures less than 400°F (205°C)
Best-Practice Use:
  • Fold for control: Fold into quarters to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to avoid re-depositing contamination.
  • Wet vs. dry: For solvent wipe-downs, dampen—do not over-saturate—so you maintain control and reduce dripping.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins leaving residue/streaking.
  • Sterile handling: Open and stage only what the step requires; keep unused wipes protected to avoid compromising sterile workflow controls.
Selection Notes (TX3221 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3221 vs. TX3042: Both are sterile Vertex sealed-edge wipers; choose TX3221 (11" x 11") when you want slightly more surface area per wipe for high-fluid tasks, and TX3042 (12" x 12") when maximum coverage per wipe is the priority.
  • TX3221 vs. TX3049: Same Vertex sterile family; choose TX3221 for larger wipe face (11" x 11") and TX3049 for 9" x 9" handling in tighter work zones.
  • Vertex vs. knit polyester (non-sterile): If sterile workflow, sealed-edge control, and high sorption are decision drivers, Vertex sterile is a common selection; for general non-sterile wipe-downs, a standard polyester knit wiper may be sufficient (process-dependent).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe Vertex® (Sterile) Polyester 2-Ply / Sealed Edge Sterile Wipe-Down & Absorbent Control 11" x 11" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3221 Sterile Vertex® 11" x 11" Polyester 2-Ply Sealed-Edge Cleanroom Wiper — larger-format sterile wiping where absorbency and edge control support repeatable cleaning methods

Texwipe TX3221 Sterile Vertex® is a sterile, 11" x 11" polyester cleanroom wiper built in a 2-ply format with sealed edges, selected when the method benefits from a larger wipe footprint and enhanced absorbency while maintaining perimeter control. Two-ply polyester constructions are commonly evaluated for wipe-down steps where the wipe must manage more liquid during damp-film cleaning, wipe-up behavior, or controlled drying passes without collapsing in the hand. The sealed edge is a key control point for SOPs that aim to reduce edge fray and perimeter transfer, especially when wiping near interfaces, fixtures, or sensitive surfaces. The 11" x 11" format supports consistent fold patterns (repeatable clean faces) and efficient coverage on benches, carts, equipment exteriors, and staging surfaces—provided the procedure enforces one-face-per-pass technique and defined discard triggers. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, ions, and surface finish sensitivity.

Operations takeaway: TX3221 supports ISO-aligned operations control when it is treated as a method-controlled wipe: standardize wetness target, fold pattern, stroke count, and discard triggers. Two-ply wipes can carry more liquid—so the SOP should explicitly prevent over-wetting and re-wiping with a loaded face.

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-downs of larger surfaces where a bigger wipe footprint improves coverage consistency and reduces handling variability.
  • Damp-film cleaning steps where 2-ply absorbency supports controlled wetness without immediate saturation collapse (per SOP wetness target).
  • Wipe-down of benches, carts, equipment exteriors, and staging surfaces using repeatable fold patterns and one-face-per-pass technique.
  • Cleaning near interfaces where sealed-edge perimeter control is part of the method requirement.
  • Controlled wipe-up and follow-up drying passes where the SOP defines the chemistry, stroke pattern, and discard triggers to prevent re-deposition.

Method note: Larger 2-ply wipes can carry more liquid. If film or streaking is observed, reduce wetness and tighten the change-out trigger so a loaded wipe does not re-deposit residues. 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.
