Foam Swabs

Foam swabs reduce contamination by eliminating the shedding of cotton threads commonly found in Q-tips. Open-cell polyurethane foam offers cleanliness and absorbency. Labs, manufacturers, and cleanrooms clean intricate components using foam swabs. Standard foam swabs are made of polyurethane foam in an open-cell structure containing a minimum of 100 pores per square inch.

While cotton is commonly used, foam applicator swabs are also used by technicians to perform meticulous tasks like repair, precision cleaning, and assembly. The pore-and-open-cell structure makes the foam swab extremely effective in trapping particles. Additionally, they are thermally bonded, non-abrasive, and durable.

Foam-tipped swabs satisfy the requirements for precision detailing. The non-abrasive, residue-free foam withstands cleaning solvents while leaving behind zero-lint. Some swabs offer ESD-safe handles or other static control properties for additional functionality in electronic assembly.

Foam swabs used in industrial settings are unlikely to be re-used. Foam outlasts cotton when cleaning because it is more resistant to harsh solvents. Electricians, fire-arm enthusiasts, hobbyists, technicians, and more depend on these swabs to clean delicate instruments. Biological contaminants prevent swabs from re-use in medical, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments.
