Overview
A Swab is a precision cleaning tool consisting of an absorbent tip mounted on a rigid or flexible shaft. Typically manufactured from cellulose, PET, or polyurethane foam, it utilizes capillary action to remove particulates and fluids from confined surfaces without leaving residue.
Application
- Semiconductor: Wafer handling and lithography stage cleaning.
- Aerospace: Hydraulic line flushing and turbine blade inspection.
- Medical Device: Sterile component assembly and surgical instrument decontamination.
- Electronics: PCB flux removal and connector contact maintenance.
Precautions
- Environment: Maintain temperature between 15°C–30°C; relative humidity below 60% to prevent fiber swelling.
- Pressure: Avoid mechanical loads exceeding 5N to prevent shaft deformation.
- Maintenance: Discard after single-use in cleanrooms; inspect for fraying before reuse in non-critical zones.
