TX3225 Sterile TexTra10 12" x 12" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper

TX3225 Sterile TexTra10 is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), high-absorbency, sealed-border polyester knit wiper engineered for sterile and aseptic cleaning workflows. It is a single-ply, double-knit, 100% continuous-filament polyester wiper designed to deliver two-ply-like liquid capacity while helping reduce particle and fiber release at the edges through thermally sealed borders. Each case is gamma irradiated to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137.

Best-seller note: TX3225 is commonly specified when teams need sterile presentation, strong sorption for large-volume wipe-downs (cleaners/disinfectants), and sealed-border construction for controlled contamination risk in ISO Class 3-5 areas.

About the Manufacturer:

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. Its manufacturing approach starts with fabric and yarn selection (often continuous-filament polyester for lower shedding), then controls edge construction (cut-edge, sealed-edge, and patented sealed-border options), controlled cleaning/laundering, and packaging aligned to cleanroom application tiers.

Texwipe also emphasizes verification through fibers/particles/ions/residue/endotoxin testing and describes automation-forward processes—such as Vectra® continuous cleaning with 100% machine-vision inspection and hands-free sterile manufacturing steps—to improve lot-to-lot consistency and reduce handling-driven contamination risk. 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 wiping materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

Engineered for high-absorption use in ISO Class 3-5 environments
Designed for sterile wiping of environmental surfaces and production equipment in aseptic fill areas
Ideal for applying and removing large volumes of cleaning and disinfecting solutions
Spill control
Absorptive work surface

Best-Practice Use:

Bag wipe-down discipline: In sterile workflows, wipe down the exterior bag per site practice before bringing the inner bag into the cleaner zone.
Use the header strip: After opening, use the header strip to help protect remaining wipers in the bag from incidental contact and splash exposure.
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 reduce re-deposition.
Wet vs. dry: For disinfectants/solvents, dampen—do not over-saturate—to maintain control and reduce dripping.
Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins to streak.

Selection Notes (TX3225 vs. Other Options)

TX3225 vs. TX3224: Same Sterile TexTra10 family and sealed-border construction; choose TX3224 when a 9" x 9" format is preferred for smaller work zones and tighter reach.
TX3225 vs. TX3220: TX3225 is Sterile TexTra10 (sealed border) and is often chosen when edge control and sterile ISO Class 3-5 use is the priority; TX3220 is a different sterile TexTra variant frequently selected for broader sterile wipe-down needs where cut-edge presentation is acceptable.
TexTra10 vs. Vertex sterile: If you need the highest edge control and premium sterile wipe-down positioning, sealed-edge sterile Vertex wipers are commonly evaluated alongside Sterile TexTra10 (process- and SOP-dependent).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe TexTra10® (Sterile) Polyester / Cleanroom Processed Sterile Wipe-Down & Surface Prep 12" x 12" Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX3225 Sterile TexTra10® 12" x 12" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper — larger format sterile polyester wiping for repeatable surface prep and controlled wipe-downs

Texwipe TX3225 Sterile TexTra10® 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: TX3225 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)

Control introduction: bring wipes into the cleanroom per your OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, and storage).
Use clean-to-less-clean flow: wipe from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest zone; do not backtrack.
Fold for control: fold to create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass, then refold.
Damp-film technique: if using solvent, wet to a controlled damp state (not dripping).
Straight-line strokes: use consistent pressure and unidirectional strokes; avoid circular scrubbing.
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.

Ansell TouchNTuff® 83-500 Sterile Polyisoprene Gloves — sterile, ISO Class 5 (Class 100) positioning; polyisoprene for latex-like tactility without natural rubber latex proteins
Ansell TouchNTuff® 93-700 Sterile Disposable Nitrile Cleanroom Gloves — sterile, ISO Class 5 (Class 100) positioning; nitrile for broad chemical resistance and cleanroom-compatible handling

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.

Texwipe STX761 Sterile Alpha® Polyester Cleanroom Swab (Long Handle) — reach and precision for recessed features and narrow interfaces (verify method fit per SOP)
Texwipe STX712A Sterile CleanFoam® Swab (Rectangular Head) — broader contact patch for small flat surfaces and controlled solvent release (verify compatibility per SOP)

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.
