Product Description
Texwipe TX5831 TexWrite® Medium-Weight Cleanroom Paper — 8.5" x 11", Green (Loose Sheets)
TX5831 is Texwipe’s TexWrite® 22 cleanroom bond paper in green for controlled documentation and fast visual segregation inside critical environments. It is designed to substantially reduce the risk of particle generation associated with standard papers while maintaining strong performance in laser printers, photocopiers, and offset printing workflows.
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. That relationship matters for documentation control programs: continuity of supply, consistent product lineage, and dependable access to manufacturer documentation used for qualification and audit readiness.

Where technicians and engineers use TX5831
- Color-coded controlled documentation to reduce mix-ups between cleanroom docs and office paper (green is often used to separate projects, shifts, or areas).
- Printed and copied forms used at point-of-use (travelers, checklists, calibration logs, maintenance records, equipment logs).
- Offset printing and controlled manuals/work instructions where paper dusting and particle shedding must be managed.
- Document staging on carts and stations where airflow and movement can mobilize paper debris if handling is not disciplined.
Low particle intent — and the reality check
Cleanroom paper is chosen to reduce contamination risk versus standard paper, but no paper product is truly “lint-free.” The outcome depends on handling discipline: avoid abrasion, avoid fanning sheets in airflow, and keep documents out of first-air near exposed product or critical surfaces.

Materials and contamination-control approach
- Polymer-reinforced cellulose: TexWrite® 22 is reinforced with a synthetic copolymer to help reduce particle generation compared with conventional bond paper.
- Mineral filler avoidance (published concept): TexWrite® is described as formulated without inorganic mineral fillers (examples commonly listed include calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and aluminum silicate) that can contribute to ionic contamination.
- No natural latex binders (published feature): Selected to avoid latex-associated reactions and help standardize material behavior in controlled environments.
- Precision-cut edges (published feature): Reduces edge variability and helps reduce handling-generated paper dusting during separation and staging.
Compatibility notes (IPA/DI wipe-down tolerance and sterilization)
- Autoclave use: TexWrite® 22 is commonly described as autoclave safe for use in sterile environments. If your process sterilizes paper, qualify under your exact cycle (temperature, time, packaging configuration, and post-cycle handling) and confirm readability/handling performance remains acceptable.
- Loose-sheet wipe-down: Wipe-down tolerance of paper with IPA or DI water is typically not published as a “wipeable paper” specification. As a contamination-control practice, avoid wiping loose sheets directly unless your SOP requires it and you have qualified the behavior (curl, tide marks, residue, fiber/particle release, toner/ink stability).
- Best-practice alternative: Use document sleeves, dedicated clean clipboards, and covered document bins to keep paperwork clean without solvent contact.
- Print/copy handling: Allow freshly printed pages to cool and “set” before tight stacking or inserting into sleeves to reduce toner offset and transfer risk.
Particle-shedding risk management
- Keep packs sealed: Stage only what the shift needs. Keep remaining sheets sealed to reduce airborne deposition and edge scuffing.
- No fanning in airflow: Separate sheets slowly and deliberately. Fanning increases abrasion and can mobilize particles.
- Dedicated document zone: Keep paper off process benches where oils, silicones, and residues can transfer. Use a clean tray or a dedicated writing board.
- Glove discipline: Do not handle documentation with solvent-wet gloves. Wet gloves drive smearing, residue transfer, and can increase paper dusting after dry-down.
- Static control awareness: In low humidity, paper can attract fines. Store flat in a closed, clean container and minimize exposed stack time.
Common failure modes
- Paper dusting / particle shedding: Usually driven by edge scuffing, aggressive separation, and rubbing sheets on benches or carts. Prevent with sealed staging, slow separation, and controlled transport.
- Smearing / toner offset: Often caused by stacking pages before toner cool-down or handling with wet/solvent-contact gloves. Prevent with print cool-down time and glove moisture control.
- Residue transfer: Happens when documents contact contaminated surfaces or sleeves. Prevent with dedicated document trays and clean sleeves.
- Static attraction: Fine particles cling to paper in low RH. Prevent with closed storage, minimal rubbing during transport, and facility ESD/environmental controls as applicable.
- Jams / curl: Typically driven by humidity swings, dirty pickup rollers, or overfilled trays. Prevent with printer housekeeping and loading from sealed packs.
Typical performance and contamination characteristics
Features- Store flat in original cleanroom packaging; open only at point of use.
- Segregate cleanroom paper from office paper to prevent accidental introduction of high-shedding paper into controlled areas.
- Use closed bins/drawers for staged packs; avoid open shelving near returns or high-traffic airflow paths.
- If used for controlled records, standardize printer model/settings and define an acceptance check (legibility, toner adhesion, no offset transfer after cool-down).
