Leave Nothing Behind: Techni-Pro Swabs & Wipes
In PCB assembly, optics handling, or ISO-rated cleanrooms, swabs and wipes aren’t just cleaning tools — they’re contamination control devices. But not all wipes are created equally and using the wrong one can mean particles where there should be none, static where you want safety, or just a bad fit for your workflow. If your current cleaning process leaves behind lint, residue, or frustration, it’s time to clean smarter.
Techni-Pro swabs and wipes are engineered to meet the challenges of environments where precision matters and failure isn’t an option. Below, we break down your options — by material, environment, and task — so you can find exactly what fits.
WIPES: Choose Based on Surface, Environment, and Sensitivity
| TYPE | BEST FOR | KEY FEATURES |
| Polyester Wipes | Cleanrooms, optics, electronics | Low-lint, ISO 5+, abrasion resistant |
| Non-Woven Wipes | General purpose, benches, packaging | More absorbent, economical, not ISO 5-rated |
| Microfiber Wipes | Ultra-fine cleaning (lenses, displays) | Superior particle capture, non-abrasive |
| Pre-Saturated IPA Wipes | Field use, fast spot-cleaning | Consistent solvent application, no dispenser needed |
| Stencil Wipe Rolls | SMT production (manual or automatic) | Dry or pre-saturated, sized to fit printer models |
| ESD-Safe Wipes | Electronics/PCB assembly | Static dissipative layer prevents charge buildup |
Tip: Choose polyester for cleanrooms, non-woven for daily wiping, and ESD-safe if you’re anywhere near a circuit.
SWABS: Choose Based on Precision, Tip Material, and Reach
| TYPE | BEST FOR | KEY FEATURES |
| Foam Tip Swabs | Electronics, optics, delicate equipment | Soft, absorbent, chemical-resistant |
| Polyester Tip Swabs | Cleanroom, fiber optics | Very low-lint, ISO 4+, good for solvent use |
| Cotton Tip Swabs | Non-cleanroom tasks, general cleaning | Budget-friendly, higher particulate generation |
| Tapered Swabs | Reaching into tight areas | Pointed tips for crevices and pin connectors |
| ESD-Safe Swabs | Cleaning static-sensitive components | ESD-safe handles, static-dissipative tips |
Tip: Polyester = cleanest, foam = gentlest, tapered = most precise.
Consider These When Choosing:
- Cleanroom Classification
Use ISO-rated products in controlled environments — usually ISO 3–5 for swabs, and ISO 5–7 for wipes. - Surface Sensitivity
Choose foam or microfiber on scratch-prone surfaces like optics or displays. - Static Sensitivity
ESD-safe options are a must near any circuitry. - Cleaning Agent Compatibility
Ensure your swabs and wipes can handle alcohol, water, or specialty solvents without breaking down. - Application Method
For mobile or field cleaning, pre-saturated wipes save time and reduce waste.
