Description :
Texwipe’s Alpha^® Swab Series is made from the cleanest 100% polyester knit materials. The complete thermal bond construction eliminates adhesive contamination.
Cleanroom manufactured, made to exacting and consistent tolerances using high-precision automated processes. Lot coded for traceability and quality control. Packaged in a silicone-free and amide-free bag.

Features & Benefits :
  • Double layer of polyester knit fabric for enhanced absorbency
  • Engineered to resist snagging and abrading, preventing the release of particles and fibers
  • Excellent chemical resistance for compatibility with a variety of solutions
  • 100% virgin polypropylene handle ensures no additional contaminants are introduced while offering excellent chemical resistance
  • Cleanroom laundered, providing ultra low levels of particles, NVRs (non volatile residues) and ions
  • Autoclavable in dry heat and steam

Applications :
  • Precision spot cleaning of grooves, tracks, slots and other small spaces
  • Applying and removing lubricants, adhesives and other solutions in a critical clean environment
  • Solvent use (such as IPA)
  • Appropriate for use with temperatures less than 410°F
