ESD Swabs

The Micro-Tec ESD safe sticky cleaning swabs are especially designed to remove particles from surfaces. The anti-static treatment of the plastic handles dissipates electrostatic charges, making them suitable for cleaning electrostatic sensitive components. The tip of the Micro-Tec ESD safe sticky cleaning swabs is coated with a soft absorbent gel which picks up particles. With the sticky cleaning swab you can remove contaminating particles, not displacing them and not causing cross contamination. Applications are removing particles, lint, debris from hard or difficult to reach areas, cleaning optical devices, removing particles from surfaces, cleaning components and removing contamination particles. The Micro-Tec ESD safe sticky cleaning swabs are available in three sizes (Ø1mm, Ø2mm and Ø3mm heads) and are sold ready-to-use in boxes of 10 and 25.
