Description
These polyester cleaning swabs provide controlled, low-cost precision cleaning for electronics assembly, inspection, and conformal coating environments. They are ideal for wiping PCB surfaces, cleaning connectors, and reaching tight areas where cloths or wipes are impractical.
In conformal coating processes, operators use polyester cleaning swabs during preparation, inspection and rework to help remove light contamination, excess residues, and unwanted conformal coating during touch-up and finishing. Used correctly, they support cleaner surfaces and more consistent coating results.
Why polyester swabs
The swab head uses double-layer knitted polyester designed for excellent absorbency and strong solvent holding. This supports controlled application of cleaning fluids and reliable removal of residues without excessive dripping or inconsistent wiping.
The polypropylene handle provides a stable grip and controlled wiping action, allowing technicians to clean defined areas precisely on PCBs, components and connector interfaces.
Low lint performance is critical during electronics cleaning and conformal coating preparation, as loose fibres can interfere with coating adhesion and inspection. These polyester swabs are designed to minimise fibre release, helping reduce the risk of contamination on PCB surfaces and components.
Typical uses
- Precision cleaning of PCB surfaces prior to coating or inspection
- Cleaning connectors, headers and tight access features
- Removing light residues during touch-up and rework
- General electronics assembly and quality control cleaning tasks
These swabs are compatible with many commonly used cleaning fluids and solvents in electronics processing. As with all cleaning operations, suitability should be confirmed for your specific solvent and material set.
