Product Description
Texwipe TX5815 TexWrite® 22 Cleanroom Bond Paper — 8.5" x 11", White, Medium-Weight Loose Sheets
TX5815 is cleanroom bond paper engineered to reduce particle generation associated with standard office paper during documentation, printing, and controlled-environment data transfer. It is reinforced with a synthetic copolymer and formulated without inorganic fillers (commonly used to increase opacity) that can contribute to ionic contamination. TX5815 is intended for standard-duty and high-speed laser printers and photocopiers, offset printing, manuals/work instructions, and technician note taking inside controlled environments.
For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. For cleanroom stationery programs, that partnership supports continuity of supply, consistent product lineage, and dependable access to manufacturer documentation for qualification and audits.

Low particle and fiber generation — and the reality check
TX5815 is designed to reduce particle generation versus standard paper. Even so, no paper product is truly “lint-free.” The cleanroom result depends on handling discipline: how sheets are staged, how they are transported through airflow, and how technicians prevent abrasion, scuffing, and solvent carryover onto paper surfaces.
Where technicians and engineers use TX5815
- Controlled documentation: work instructions, checklists, log sheets, and controlled data transfer.
- Printing inside or adjacent to controlled areas (laser printers/photocopiers; standard-duty and high-speed use).
- Shift or area differentiation using cleanroom paper standardization (TX5815 is the white option in the TexWrite® 22 series).
- Facilities maintenance documentation and regulated programs where traceable, consistent stationery inputs reduce investigation noise.
Compatibility notes (wipe-down tolerance and sterilization)
- Autoclave: Manufacturer literature lists TexWrite® loose leaf sheets as autoclavable (see Texwipe guidance/TechNotes referenced on the TDS). If your program requires sterilization, qualify TX5815 under your specific cycle (temperature, duration, packaging configuration, post-cycle particle/handling behavior).
- IPA / solvent wipe-down (not published for loose sheets): Solvent wipe-down tolerance for the paper itself is not stated. As a practical control, avoid wiping loose sheets with IPA/solvents. If a wipe-down step is mandated, validate for fiber/particle shedding, distortion, residue rings, and print/toner stability before standardizing.
- DI water / aqueous wipe-down (not published): Not stated. Aqueous contact can create tide marks, curl, and edge wicking—qualify before use.
Particle-shedding risk management
- Keep sheets bagged until point of use: Stage only the shift quantity; keep the remaining packs sealed to limit particle deposition and handling abrasion.
- Control sheet edges: Do not “fan” sheets in first-air or near exposed product. Edge scuffing is a common driver of paper dusting and fiber release.
- Dedicated documentation zone: Keep paper off process benches where residues can transfer. Use a clean document tray or dedicated writing board.
- Glove moisture control: Avoid wet gloves and solvent-wet fingertips. Solvent carryover drives smearing, toner offset, and residue transfer.
- Static discipline: In low humidity, paper can attract fines. Store flat in a closed, clean container; avoid rubbing sheets against garments during transport.
Printer/copier setup guidance (to reduce jams and contamination)
- Use clean trays and rollers: Dirty pickup rollers can transfer residue and shed debris onto sheets. Clean per your site SOP before loading cleanroom paper.
- Load flat, do not overfill: Overfilled trays increase edge scuffing and curl, which can elevate paper dusting and jam rate.
- Control humidity exposure: Keep packs sealed until loading. Humidity swings can cause curl and uneven feed.
- Let toner cool/set: Even with excellent toner adhesion and heat resistance, allow printed sheets to cool before stacking to reduce offset transfer and smearing.
Typical performance characteristics
Values below are published as typical analysesFeatures
- Paper dusting / particle shedding: Typically driven by edge scuffing, fanning sheets, aggressive handling, or abrasion on benches. Prevent by keeping packs sealed, transporting sheets flat, and controlling the documentation zone.
- Smearing / offset transfer (printed sheets): Often from stacking before toner cools/sets or from solvent-wet gloves. Prevent with cool-down time, glove moisture control, and avoiding solvent contact with loose sheets.
- Jams and curl: Commonly from humidity swings and overfilled trays. Prevent by loading from sealed packs, keeping trays clean, and avoiding overfill.
- Residue/tide marks: Typically from solvent or water contact. Prevent by keeping loose sheets away from wipe-down chemistry; validate if contact cannot be avoided.
- Static attraction: Fine particles can cling in low humidity. Prevent with closed storage, minimal rubbing, and adherence to site ESD/environmental controls.
