ESD safe cleanroom swab is kind of wiping consumable that is widely used in electronics, optic- electronics, micro-electronics and semiconductor industry. The head material of the swab is either foam or non-woven fabric while the handle is usually made of polypropylene. That’s most different from the cotton bud, and it’s favored by the feature of no fiber shedding and abrasion resistant with good solvent compatibility. It is completely processed and packaged under a class of 100 air–stream cleanroom, and for a better cleanness, it’s always washed in reverse osmosis, deionized water to lower the particles and ion content.
