ESD Safe CleanWIPE®
1800 Series Swabs

Inspection Data
1800 Series ESD Swabs are designed to clean static sensitive assemblies. CleanWIPE®, a super-soft, open-cell foam is thermally shaped and sealed around an ESD safe, solvent resistant handle to create a precision cleaning swab. Proprietary manufacturing process results in resilient foam cleaning tips that reduce abrasion related particle shedding while enabling efficient cleaning performance. 1800 Series Swabs are ideal for difficult tasks requiring precision cleaning of lubricant, epoxy, solder ball and solder flux residues. 1800 Series Swabs are widely used with IPA in the aerospace, medical electronics, optics and disk drive industries.

Application Advantages
Foamtec Excellent absorbency and abrasion resistance reduces contamination when cleaning sharp or rough surfaces such as suspensions, sliders, HGAs and HSAs.
Foamtec Extremely low ionic and NVR Levels.
Foamtec Both the swab tip and handle are static dissipative.
Foamtec Ball Low tribocharge, less than 5 volts dry.
Foamtec Silicone and Amide free
