COTTON SWABS

Techspray cotton swabs are engineered for reliability in industrial and manufacturing applications. Each swab is tightly wrapped and pre-cleaned to minimize extractable contaminants, ensuring a cleaner, more controlled process. These swabs are ideal for tasks such as applying solvents, cleaning sensitive components, and removing excess materials in confined spaces. With their low cost and consistent quality, cotton swabs are the preferred choice for high-volume production lines, electronics assembly, and general maintenance where linting must be controlled.

Key Specs:

• Tightly wrapped, pre-cleaned cotton for reduced contamination
• Low-lint design for precision cleaning
• Economical for high-volume use
• Available in single- and double-tip formats
• Options with wood or paper handles

Common Applications:

• Flux removal and solvent application
• Cleaning electrical contacts and connectors
• General maintenance in manufacturing lines
• Touch-up cleaning of hard-to-reach areas

FOAM SWABS

Techspray foam swabs are manufactured with 100 pores per inch (PPI) reticulated polyurethane foam, designed to balance absorbency with low particle generation. The open-cell structure allows for rapid solvent absorption and controlled release, making them effective for cleaning precision equipment and hard-to-reach areas. Each tip is securely heat-sealed to the handle, preventing separation even during solvent-intensive applications. Flexible foam heads provide a softer touch for delicate components such as optical sensors and circuit boards, while rigid foam tips deliver the durability needed for aggressive scrubbing and residue removal. These swabs are widely used in electronics assembly, fiber optics maintenance, and other precision cleaning processes where contamination control is critical.

Key Specs:

• 100 PPI reticulated polyurethane foam for absorbency and control
• Heat-sealed tips for durability with solvents
• Available with flexible or rigid foam heads
• Polypropylene handles for strength and chemical resistance
• Low particle generation for sensitive environments

Common Applications:

• Cleaning PCB assemblies and components
• Fiber optic maintenance and connector cleaning
• Applying and spreading adhesives or coatings
• Removing dust, dirt, and residues from sensors and optics
• Precision cleaning in aerospace, telecom, and medical device industries
