cleaning critical surfaces

MiraSWAB®

Description

MiraSWAB® 1500 and 1600 Series Swabs feature a patent-pending micro fiber fabric
tip thermally bonded to a polypropylene shaft. The unique fabric over foam and fabric over fabric construction enables easy cleaning of scratch sensitive surfaces and blind areas as the two layers provide a soft conformable tool resulting in a swab that is soft, yet both resistant to abrasion and solvents. MiraSWABS® offer the cleaning performance of micro fiber fabrics with the scratch-free properties of foam for Optics, HDD, Semiconductor and Life Science applications.

HT15XXTC MiraSWAB® featuring micro fiber over a polyester fabric are recommended for cleaning optical surfaces when using methanol, ethyl ether or acetone.

The MiraSWAB® 1600 Series employs a static dissipative handle for ESD sensitive applications.

Common Characteristics and Benefits
Fabric over foam construction compatible with aggressive solvents such as acetone, Kyzen and MEK.
Super soft foam core enables the swabs to conform to articulated surfaces for good cleaning efficiency.
Micro fiber fabric enables excellent removal of difficult to remove stains and particles.
Proprietary cleaning process ensures low extractable for streak free cleaning.

Applications
Cleaning stains and particles from scratch sensitive optics and optical assemblies.
Cleaning applications that require acetone, MEK, NMP and Kyzen.
Cleaning blind surfaces such as O-ring grooves and ink jet print heads.
Replacing Cotton and Chamois swabs in applications requiring cotton like absorbency but without the fibers.
Removing excess materials in fine assembly operations.
