Texwipe is a worldwide leader in contamination control supplies and critical cleaning products including lint free clean room wipers, cleanroom swabs, cleanroom stationery, sterile products, adhesive mats and more.

It all started in 1964 when Edward Paley invented a product to solve a problem that no one could see. The problem was microcontamination - minute particles that were creating errors on the disk and tape drives of the burgeoning mainframe computer industry.

In inventing the first low-lint cloth for cleaning computer equipment, Mr. Paley created a company and invented an industry. In July 2001, The Texwipe Company, LLC was aquired by Illinois Tool Works, Inc. (ITW). Today, ITW Texwipe is a worldwide leader in contamination control products and process materials for aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, food processing, data storage, medical device, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, telecommunications and other industries requiring critical manufacturing environments.

ITW Texwipe's broad product line for contamination control includes a complete array of wipers, swabs, mops, cleaning solutions and stationery for use in cleanroom environments. Products include Vectra® ultraclean sealed-border wipers, CleanPak® pre-wetted wipers, CleanTips® swabs engineered for cleanliness and consistency, Transplex® ESD-safe swabs, and TexWrite® cleanroom stationery. ITW Texwipe also develops custom products to address specific customer requirements.
