TX42 Vertex 12" x 12" Polyester High Absorption Laser Edge Cleanroom Wiper

TX42 Vertex is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), high-sorption, 100% continuous-filament polyester knit wiper built for spill control, wide-area wipe-downs, and controlled solution application/removal in critical environments. It is manufactured on Texwipe’s Vertex™ system, described as cleaning, converting, and packaging wipers in an integrated, hands-free micro-environment to reduce handling-driven contamination risk.

• Size: 12" x 12" nominal (30 cm x 30 cm)
• Material: 100% continuous-filament polyester
• Construction: Polyester knit fabric with unique high-sorption structure (Vertex™ High Sorption family)
• Edge: Laser edge / sealed edge
• Packaging: 100 wipers/bag; 10 bags/case
• ISO Class: ISO 3 (Class 1) - ISO 8 (Class 100,000)
• Country of Origin: Made in the USA

Texwipe (an ITW company) positions Vertex™ wipers as engineered contamination-control tools produced on a fully integrated system that cleans, converts, and packages wipes in a hands-free micro-environment. For TX42/TX49 Vertex™ High Sorption wipers, Texwipe describes production in an ISO Class 3 environment, with wipes untouched by human hands until the bag is opened for use.

Texwipe also cites quarterly microbial testing (Agarose Overlay) and Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) endotoxin testing for this family, aligning the platform with programs that want documented contamination-control discipline and lot-to-lot consistency. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing approach with continuity of supply and practical application support, plus the documentation handoff teams typically require (order consistency, certs as applicable, and traceability signals tied to your receiving and qualification workflow).

• Unique fabric structure engineered for high sorption
• 100% continuous-filament polyester knit substrate
• Laser edge / sealed edge construction
• Processed on the Vertex™ manufacturing system (clean, convert, package in an integrated hands-free micro-environment)
• Quarterly microbial testing and LAL endotoxin testing cited for the Vertex™ High Sorption family

• High-sorption performance: Designed to reduce the number of wipes needed for spill control and wet processing steps
• Soft feel: Suitable for delicate surfaces and controlled wipe-downs where abrasion is a concern
• Edge risk control: Laser-sealed perimeter helps reduce fraying risk during folding, corner work, and repeated strokes (process-dependent)
• Manufacturing consistency: Vertex™ system discipline is intended to reduce handling-driven variability until the bag is opened

• Spill control and pickup of process fluids
• Wide-area wipe-downs of benches, carts, tools, equipment exteriors, and fixtures
• Applying and removing cleaners, disinfectants, lubricants, and process solutions (verify compatibility with your chemistry and SOP)
• Wiping and cleaning surfaces, equipment, and parts where a larger format reduces handoffs
• Tray/part staging and protective lining (lift-and-place technique recommended)

• Fold for control: Fold into consistent pads to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
• Wipe pattern: Use straight-line, overlapping strokes to avoid re-depositing contamination.
• Wet vs. dry: For solvent wipe-downs, dampen—do not over-saturate—to maintain control and reduce dripping.
• Change-out discipline: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins leaving streaks/residue.
• Edge handling: Avoid aggressive “scrubbing” at corners; use controlled pressure and fresh faces to reduce particle transfer.

• TX42 vs. TX49: Same Vertex™ High Sorption platform, but TX42 provides a 12" x 12" format when coverage per wipe matters; TX49 is the 9" x 9" option for tighter work areas.
• Dry vs. pre-wetted: If you want consistent wetting and reduced solvent handling, select TX42P/TX49P pre-wetted options (70% IPA / 30% DIW) when they match your SOP and VOC controls.
• High-sorption vs. general-purpose polyester: Choose high-sorption Vertex™ when spill pickup and rapid wet-out drive performance; qualify lighter or different constructions for ultra-sensitive final passes when required.
