Long Handle Polyester Swabs

TIDDOX long-handle polyester swabs are designed for controlled cleaning, sampling, surface analysis, validation work, and applying and removing solvents. They are recommended for swab sampling to check the cleanliness of equipment surfaces and levels of carbon residuals, especially when using the total organic carbon analysis method. 

The double layered polyester knit head has enhanced absorbency, is compatible with solvents and is designed for lint free cleaning of delicate surfaces, sampling work, and general precision cleaning tasks. The long handle allows extended reach in to recessed crevices and joints to clean and remove debris. The ultra clean polyester material is ideal for contamination sensitive tasks, such as surface analysis, carbon residual analysis, controlled cleaning and sampling applications in laboratories and cleanrooms.

The swab head is made of thick, double-layered polyester knit material designed to improve absorbency. It is also capable of picking up trace levels of organic contaminants like carbohydrates, proteins, and acids.

The polyester material has a low contamination risk after being washed in a cleanroom to reduce excess ions, particles, and nonvolatile residues. Additionally, the polyester head is thermally bonded to the swab rather than using adhesive to fix it to the handle paddle to further minimize the risk of contamination.

The polyester knitted material also makes the heads on these polyester swabs solvent-resistant. This means it is compatible with cleaning solutions, such as chemicals, alcohol and lubricants. As such, these polyester swabs are often used to apply (and remove) chemical solutions, alcohol, adhesives and lubricants to surfaces. In addition, the long polypropylene handle is also compatible with chemical contact.

The 6” long polypropylene paddle extends the reach into difficult-to-reach areas, allowing precision cleaning of recessed crevices, joints, grooves, and other tiny, hard-to-access spaces. It is also ideal for swabbing flat areas and cleaning hard-to-reach surfaces.

The combination of a long polypropylene handle and a polyester head makes these polyester swabs preferable for pharmaceutical users over traditional long-handle cotton swabs. This is due to its cleanliness advantages and suitability for critical cleaning in controlled environments. The swabs are manufactured and packaged in a cleanroom environment, using bags that are free of silicone or amide.

TIDDOX specialises in the supply of contamination-free polyester swabs to industries throughout Australia. These include cleanrooms, R&D facilities, laboratories in biopharm manufacturing, the pharmaceutical industry, medical device manufacturing, electronics, and many other critical clean environments.
