Description

Cleanroom polyester swabs are used for precision cleaning in controlled environments. They help remove particles and support contamination control in sensitive applications.

These swabs feature a tightly bonded polyester tip attached to a durable handle. The design allows for controlled cleaning of small or delicate areas.

The low-lint construction helps reduce fiber shedding during use. This makes them suitable for environments where particle control is critical.

They are also compatible with many solvents and cleaning agents. This allows for effective residue removal without introducing contamination.

Key Features

• Washed polyester knit fabric tip for low-lint, low-particle performance
• Sonically sealed edges minimize fiber shedding and particle generation during use
• Low in extractables and compatible with many common industrial solvents and cleaning chemicals
• Polypropylene handle, 6″ in length, for comfortable and controlled handling
• Precision tip dimensions: 0.25″ wide, 0.25″ thick, and 0.8″ long for access to small and tight areas
• Cleanroom processed for use in controlled environments
• Made in the USA
• Packaged 500 per bag
• ISO 5 cleanroom rated

 
Common Uses

• Precision cleaning of electronic components, circuit boards, and connectors
• Optical surface cleaning in lens and laser manufacturing environments
• Semiconductor and wafer fabrication cleaning tasks
• Pharmaceutical equipment cleaning and validation swabbing
• Medical device assembly and surface preparation
• Applying or removing solvents and cleaning agents in tight or delicate areas
• Cleanroom maintenance and surface spot cleaning
• Laboratory instrument cleaning and residue removal

 
Who This Is For

Cleanroom polyester swabs are the right tool for technicians, engineers, and lab staff who need precise, controlled cleaning in environments where even trace contamination matters. The sonically sealed tip and low-extractable construction make these appropriate for semiconductor, optical, pharmaceutical, and electronics applications where cotton or foam swabs would introduce too many particles or residues. The 6″ polypropylene handle gives good reach and control without flexing, which is important when working in confined spaces or on delicate surfaces. At 500 swabs per bag, they are well suited for facilities with high daily cleaning volume.

FAQ

Why use a polyester swab instead of a cotton swab?
Polyester knit fabric generates significantly fewer particles and lint than cotton. In cleanroom and precision environments, cotton swabs can shed fibers that contaminate sensitive surfaces or components. Polyester swabs are specifically designed to minimize that risk.

Are these swabs compatible with solvents and cleaning agents?
Yes. These swabs are low in extractables and compatible with many common industrial chemicals and solvents, including isopropyl alcohol and other cleanroom-approved cleaning agents. Always verify compatibility with your specific chemical before use.

What are the tip dimensions?
The tip is 0.25″ wide, 0.25″ thick, and 0.8″ long, making it well suited for cleaning small components, tight spaces, and precision surfaces.

Are these swabs cleanroom processed?
Yes. These swabs are processed in a cleanroom environment to ensure they meet contamination control standards before reaching the end user.

Where are these swabs made?
These swabs are made in the USA.

How many swabs come per bag?
Each bag contains 500 swabs.

Are these swabs single-use?
Yes. These are disposable swabs intended for single use. Reuse could introduce contamination or compromise the integrity of the tip material.

Can these be used dry or do they need to be wetted with a solution?
These swabs can be used both dry and wetted with an appropriate cleaning solution, depending on the application and the type of residue being removed.
