Conical Top Foam Cleanroom Swabs are constructed from compressed, 100 ppi (Z) open-cell polyurethane foam that is free from organic contaminants such as silicone, amides or phthalate esters. The foam is thermally bonded to the handle, thus, eliminating the use of contaminating adhesive or coatings. Laundered and packed under an ISO Class 5 Cleanroom, the foam exhibits low particulate and ionic content. It has excellent compatibility with most common solvents including acetone as well as excellent absorbency and solvent-holding capacity.
The foam head is compressed and possesses good firmness. The pointed, non-abrasive foam head is designed for cleaning small, slotted areas. The swab handle is made from polypropylene. The handle is compact and will not contribute to particulate or organic contamination. Designed for open-cell clean foam general purpose cleaning. Conical top foam cleanroom swabs are the ideal swabs to use in the cleanroom.

Our cleanroom swabs are highly automated, ensuring excellent consistency and meeting a wide array of industry standards. They are suitable for use in hard disk drive, medical device, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, optics, fiber optics, forensics, pediatrics, veterinary, drug delivery, and diagnostic applications.
Tly’s cleanroom swabs are also specially designed to meet the needs of our customers. They are lot tested and certified and feature a wide array of tip styles and materials to suit your specific needs. Our swabs also have static dissipative handles and tips, making them suitable for use in sensitive environments.
In addition, our swabs are pyrogen-free, EtO, steam, and gamma stable, non-cytotoxic, ATP-free, and low in particulates and NVRs for use in cleanrooms assembling implantable medical devices. They are also RoHS compatible, ensuring that they are safe for use in a variety of industries.
You can’t take just any kind of swabs into a cleanroom environment. Cleanroom swabs are specifically designed for use in critical environments because they offer residue-free performance, meaning they won’t leave behind particulates and other components that could contaminate your cleanroom.
Like all kinds of swabs, critical environment swabs come in a huge assortment of different styles. Tips are made of cotton, microfiber, knitted polyester and foam to ensure that they work well when cleaning or handling various different materials, including ESD-safe swabs for static sensitive devices. Cleanroom swabs are particularly useful when cleaning small surfaces and nooks in controlled environments, including within health care, diagnostics, fiber optics, electronics, semiconductors and more.
What are cleanroom swabs?
Cleanroom swabs are used to cleanroom surfaces in manufacturing areas found in controlled environments. The manufacturing process for cleanroom swabs eliminates adhesive contaminants and reduces material shedding to keep your critical environment secure.
What swabs are suitable for critical environments?
Cleanroom swabs come in various materials that offer pros and cons depending on the application. Below, we list the most common swab materials and considerations for your critical environment.
Anti-Static/ESD Swabs
Cotton Swabs
Foam Swabs
Knitted Polyester Swabs
Microfiber Swabs
ESD swabs prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. ESD swabs have unique antistatic handles that dissipate static buildup. Most commonly used to clean sensitive electronic components, esd safe swabs provide superior consistency and cleanliness than non-static-safe swabs.
Cotton cleanroom swabs offer consistently reliable performance for manufacturing, biotech, fiber optic, medical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Cotton is resistant to many solvents and solutions used for cleaning. Knitted polyester swabs resist tears, snags, and heavy-duty solvents typically used in cleanrooms. The material has low NVR and particulates and is thermally bonded, which means it has no contaminating adhesives. Microfiber cleanroom swabs are generally safe to use on and around static-sensitive components.
