Texwipe TX3252 Sterile AlphaSat with AlphaSorb HC 12" x 12" Polyester Wiper Pre-Wetted 70% IPA

TX3252 Sterile AlphaSat with AlphaSorb HC is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), high-capacity, two-ply polyester wiper pre-wetted with high-purity 70% isopropyl alcohol/30% deionized water that is 0.2µm filtered. Built for sterile and critical controlled environments, TX3252 combines strong knit performance with robust absorbency for wipe-downs, spill control, and solution application where teams want consistent wetting and reduced solvent-handling steps.

Best-seller note: TX3252 is widely chosen in sterile suites because it eliminates the mixing/filtration burden of IPA + DI water, reduces over-spray and spill risk versus squirt bottles, and supports sterile validation with lot-specific irradiation/compliance documentation and an expiration date on each package.

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 pre-wetted programs, that discipline extends beyond fabric and edge construction into controlled wetting chemistry, sterility validation (Sterility Assurance Level 10⁻⁶ per AAMI guidance), endotoxin testing, and documentation practices that support audit readiness and lot-to-lot consistency.

 

Texwipe also emphasizes verification through particles/ions/residue testing and describes process controls that 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 sterile-suite discipline.

TX3252 Features:
  • Saturated with high-purity 70% isopropyl alcohol/30% deionized water, filtered through a 0.2µm filter
  • Unique two-ply, pinsonic wiper constructed from 100% knitted continuous-filament polyester
  • Gamma irradiated to 10-6 Sterility Assurance
  • Can be wiped down prior to introduction into the sterile suite
  • Each shipment accompanied by a lot-specific Certificate of Irradiation and Certificate of Compliance with expiration date marked on each package
  • Independent quality-control audits for sterility assurance
TX3252 Benefits:
  • Process simplification: Eliminates problems associated with filtration, sterilization, and mixing of alcohol and DI water
  • Rigorous wiping with minimal shedding: Superior wiper strength supports demanding wipe-downs with minimal release of fibers and particles (process-dependent)
  • Better solvent control: Optimizes solution usage and reduces over-spray of alcohol compared to spray-and-wipe steps
  • Lower spill and waste risk: Reduces IPA spill potential and helps eliminate storage/disposal of excess solvents
  • Less bottle maintenance: Eliminates the maintenance of squirt bottles
Common Applications:
  • Wiping down roller bottles and other production equipment in a sterile environment during and following production flow
  • Cleaning environmental surfaces in sterile suites that require low solvent extractables and low particle generation
  • Easy cleanup of soiled surfaces in sterile suites
Best-Practice Use:
  • Open with sterile discipline: Stage flatpacks in the correct grade, open carefully to avoid glove contact with the next wiper, and close/dispose per your aseptic workflow.
  • 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.
  • Control solvent transfer: TX3252 is pre-wetted; avoid squeezing or “wringing” over critical zones to prevent dripping and solvent pooling.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins leaving streaks/residue.
Selection Notes (TX3252 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3252 vs. TX1039: Both are 70% IPA pre-wetted options, but TX3252 is a larger 12" x 12" sterile, two-ply high-capacity format when coverage per wipe and absorbency are priorities.
  • DI water vs. WFI programs: If your sterile suite standardizes on WFI-based wetting, consider sterile sealed-border alternatives like TX3280 (70% IPA / 30% WFI) where your SOP specifies WFI.
  • Cut edge vs. sealed border: TX3252 is a cut-edge format; if your risk assessment prioritizes edge control, consider sealed-border sterile pre-wet options in the same program family.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe AlphaSat® + AlphaSorb® (Sterile, Pre-Wetted) Polyester / Enhanced Absorbency / 70% IPA Saturated Sterile Wipe-Down & Liquid Management 12" x 12" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3252 Sterile AlphaSat® with AlphaSorb® 12" x 12" Polyester Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA) — controlled wetness with higher liquid capacity for repeatable sterile wipe-downs

Texwipe TX3252 Sterile AlphaSat® with AlphaSorb® is a sterile, pre-wetted 12" x 12" polyester cleanroom wiper supplied saturated with 70% IPA to support standardized wipe-down methods where wetness control and repeatability are priorities. This configuration is commonly evaluated when the process benefits from a pre-wetted IPA wipe but also needs improved liquid handling versus a standard pre-wetted wipe—such as larger surfaces, higher-throughput wipe-down steps, or procedures where the wipe is expected to maintain a controlled damp film longer without becoming unstable in the hand. Pre-wetting reduces variability introduced by field wetting (over-application, inconsistent saturation, and solvent handling drift), while the absorbent architecture helps reduce the temptation to “top off” or re-wet mid-step. The 12" x 12" format supports repeatable fold patterns and face control for benches, carts, equipment exteriors, and staging surfaces (as defined in your SOP). Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal requirements for residues, compatibility, and surface finish sensitivity.

Operations takeaway: TX3252 supports ISO-aligned operations control by fixing wetness at the point of use and improving liquid capacity for repeatable coverage. In the SOP, define surface area per wipe, stroke count, and discard triggers so higher-capacity wipes do not encourage over-wetting or extended re-use.

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)
  • Standardized sterile wipe-downs where 70% IPA wetness control is required without field wetting variability.
  • Larger-surface wiping where improved liquid capacity supports consistent damp-film coverage (per SOP wetness target and boundary).
  • Wipe-down of benches, carts, equipment exteriors, and staging surfaces using repeatable fold patterns and one-face-per-pass technique.
  • Higher-throughput cleaning steps where the method benefits from fewer mid-step interruptions and tighter solvent handling control.
  • Support cleaning prior to a defined disinfection step when IPA is the approved chemistry (as written in your SOP).

Method note: Higher-capacity wipes can increase the risk of over-wetting if the method is not bounded. Define maximum area per wipe and require a finishing pass discipline so a loaded wipe does not smear residues or spread contamination.

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: use the pre-wetted wipe as supplied; do not “top off” unless your SOP allows it.
  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 (fixed here), 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 IPA use; 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.
