ESD Swabs

What is esd?

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a rapid discharge of static electricity when a positively charged object touches a negatively charged material. The static shock felt when walking across the carpet or touching a metal doorknob is an example of ESD.

What are esd swabs?

Electronics and other sensitive devices should only be cleaned with ESD and anti-static swabs to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) and static buildup. These high-quality ESD-safe swabs are made with special anti-static handles. They have unique tips - including tips made of ESD conductive foam, polyester, cotton, and non-woven materials - that are preferred for their anti-static attributes. Use them for all jobs where you need to mitigate electrostatic discharge and use them in conjunction with our complete line of static control products.

Are cotton swabs esd-safe?

Cotton is not naturally esd safe and may cause electrostatic discharge. Unlike cotton, foam contains natural static control properties, but other materials work too.

The most common esd swab materials are listed below:

Foam
Knitted polyester
Microfiber

These swabs generally come with a polypropylene plastic or wood shaft. Tip sizes vary.

Where can you buy esd swabs?

Anti Static swabs will not generate a charge and also won't dissipate a charge. ESD swabs are anti-static swabs that minimize the risk of static electricity damage by providing a way for charges to ground.

Harmony Lab & Safety Supplies offers several unique types of anti-static swabs. Choose from various tip shapes and sizes to suit your unique applications. For example, you can choose ESD-safe spiral-pointed foam swabs for precision cleaning or round-tipped ESD swabs for sampling and validation.

We offer economical ESD-safe swabs made by top brands such as Puritan and TekniSwab in a wide range of quantities to suit your needs and budget. Some of our ESD swab cases ship for free to help you save even more.
