Clean Room Swabs


Style A	Style B	Style C

Style D	Style E	Style F

Style G	Style H

Not only are these swabs adhesive and lint free, they also have the best solvent-holding ability of any swab.

Polyester Plastic Swabs—Polyester plastic swabs won’t scratch surfaces.

Polyurethane Foam Swabs—Polyurethane foam swabs won’t tear.

Polyurethane Foam Over Cotton Swabs—Polyurethane foam over cotton swabs offer excellent absorption and also won’t tear.

Isopropyl Alcohol—Those with isopropyl alcohol have cleaning solution right in the handle—no need for chemicals in your clean room.
