Key Performance Benefit: The 1900 Series UltraSOLV® Static Dissipative Foam Swabs are designed for precise cleaning tasks in environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) control is critical.
Material & Construction: These swabs use open-cell, static-dissipative UltraSOLV® polyurethane foam tips that provide maximum protection against electrostatic discharge. The tips are thermally bonded to a static dissipative polypropylene handle.
Risk Reduction / Compliance Benefit: The foam is extremely low in tribocharging and high in absorbency, making it ideal for cleaning low-threshold devices such as RF FETS and giant magneto-resistive read/write heads.
Protection Level: Constructed with a static dissipative UltraSOLV® polyurethane foam tip designed to minimize tribocharging in environments sensitive to static discharge.
Comfort & Usability: The foam used in these swabs is low in particle generation and highly absorbent, supporting effective removal of particles and residues.
Safety & Compliance Assurance: Manufactured and packaged in ISO 5 & ISO 13485 certified cleanrooms to meet stringent cleanliness requirements.

FAQs
When should a micro ESD-safe foam swab be used during electronic cleaning?
Micro ESD-safe foam swabs are ideal when cleaning extremely small electronic components that require precise control and electrostatic protection. Their compact tip allows technicians to target narrow areas, such as connector pins, sensor surfaces, or microassemblies, without introducing static buildup.
What types of electronic components benefit most from static dissipative cleaning tools?
Static dissipative cleaning tools are commonly used on delicate electronic devices such as RF components, sensors, read/write heads, and miniature circuit assemblies. These components can be sensitive to electrostatic discharge, so using ESD-safe tools helps reduce the risk of damage during cleaning or maintenance.
How does low tribocharging improve safety when cleaning electronic assemblies?
Low tribocharging materials help minimize the generation of static electricity during wiping or contact with surfaces. This reduces the likelihood of electrostatic discharge events that could affect the performance or reliability of sensitive electronic components.
Can these swabs be used with cleaning solvents in controlled environments?
Yes, the absorbent foam structure allows the swab to retain small amounts of compatible solvents for controlled application. This helps technicians remove particles or residues from specific areas while minimizing excess liquid that could spread to adjacent electronic components.
What handling practices help maintain ESD protection and cleanliness during use?
Technicians typically follow established ESD control procedures such as grounding workstations and wearing appropriate protective equipment. Swabs should remain sealed until use and be handled with gloves to prevent contamination while maintaining electrostatic protection during cleaning tasks.
