TX8659 Vectra Alpha10 LT 9" x 9" 100% Polyester Cleanroom Wiper

TX8659 Vectra Alpha10 LT is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), sealed-border, double-knit polyester wiper designed for maximum performance in critical cleanroom environments. It is manufactured from 100% continuous-filament LT polyester in a no-run interlock, double-knit construction and processed using Texwipe’s Vectra® Process for consistent cleanliness and lot-to-lot control.

• Size: 9" x 9" (23 cm x 23 cm) nominal
• Material: 100% continuous-filament LT polyester (no TiO₂ added during manufacturing)
• Construction: No-run interlock, double-knit polyester
• Edge: Sealed border (four fully sealed borders)
• Packaging: 150 wipers/bag (2 inner bags of 75); 10 bags/case
• Packaging format: Solvent-safe Bag-Within-A-Bag® cleanroom packaging
• Type: Dry Wiper
• Wiper family: Vectra Alpha 10 LT
• ISO environment listing: ISO 2 (Class < 1) - ISO 8 (Class 100,000)
• Use environments: Designed for use in ISO Class 3-5 cleanroom environments (final suitability depends on your process and cleaning method)
• Country of origin: Made in the USA

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. With Vectra® Process wipers, Texwipe emphasizes automated, controlled cleaning and consistent inspection/handling practices intended to reduce variability compared with conventional laundering approaches.

For TX8659, that discipline is paired with sealed-border construction and an intentional no-TiO₂-added manufacturing approach for programs where TiO₂ sensitivity can impact yield or downstream process stability. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing discipline with a close working relationship 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.

• No Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) added during manufacturing
• Excellent balance of wiping efficiency, abrasion resistance, and absorbency
• Fully sealed border to help prevent fiber release
• Vectra® Process for the cleanest, most consistent wipers
• 100% continuous-filament, double-knit polyester
• Solvent-safe Bag-Within-A-Bag® cleanroom packaging
• Statistical quality control / Six Sigma quality assurance

• Low TiO₂ intent: Low TiO₂ wiper design can support increased yield in TiO₂-sensitive workflows
• IPA compatibility confidence: No adverse reaction when used with IPA solutions (verify compatibility to your chemistry and SOP)
• Ultralow releasables framework: Designed to assure cleanliness with ultralow levels of ions and extractables
• Durability under pressure: Resists abrasion under rigorous use or when wiping rough surfaces
• Contamination control: Helps prevent product and cleanroom contamination by minimizing fiber and particle release
• Traceability: Complete traceability of each bag

• Designed for use in ISO Class 3-5 cleanroom environments
• Wiping interior of process tools, chamber cleaning, and other equipment
• General wiping where contamination control is of paramount importance
• Multiple applications in semiconductor fabs

• 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.
• Tool/chamber discipline: Use fresh faces on interior surfaces and high-value contact points; avoid returning a loaded face to critical zones.
• Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or leaves streaks/residue.

• TX8659 vs. TX1010: Both are Vectra-processed, sealed-border, double-knit polyester wipes; TX8659 is selected specifically when no-TiO₂-added manufacturing is required for TiO₂-sensitive workflows.
• TX8659 vs. high-sorption options: If spill pickup and rapid wet-out drive performance, consider high-sorption platforms (e.g., AlphaSorb® 10); if the key requirement is critical knit + sealed-border control with TiO₂ sensitivity, TX8659 is the targeted choice.
• ISO class listing vs. point-of-use reality: Confirm your acceptance criteria (particles, fibers, ions, NVR) and your cleaning method with receiving/qualification before standardizing across areas.
