ACL Staticide 7022, Polyurethane Foam Swab, Paddle Head, 5in Handle
ACL Staticide 7022 – Polyurethane Foam Swab, Paddle Head, 5 in Handle
The ACL Staticide 7022 is a medical-grade polyurethane foam swab with a paddle head and 5-inch handle, designed for critical cleaning in cleanroom and electronics manufacturing environments. Its open-cell foam structure provides excellent liquid absorption and retention, while the fiberless construction generates minimal particles — making it suitable for flux residue removal from PCBs, fiber optic cleaning, and sensitive medical device manufacturing applications. Class 10 laundered and packaged; ISO Class 4–7 compatible.
Sold in cases of 1,000 (100 swabs/bag, 10 bags/case).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the ACL 7022 paddle head and other swab head styles?
The paddle head provides a broad, flat cleaning surface ideal for wiping larger flat areas such as PCB pads, connector faces, and optical surfaces. It covers more surface area per stroke compared to pointed or round head swabs, making it more efficient for surface cleaning tasks. For tight spaces or through-hole cleaning, a pointed or round head swab would be more appropriate.
Is the ACL 7022 safe for use on PCBs and fiber optics?
Yes. The fiberless polyurethane foam construction generates little to no particles, making it safe for sensitive PCB cleaning (including flux residue removal) and fiber optic cleaning. The foam is free from adhesives and binders that could contaminate sensitive surfaces. Note that the white handle is non-ESD — use in ESD-protected areas with appropriate precautions.
What solvents is the ACL 7022 compatible with?
The open-cell polyurethane foam has high solvent capacity and is compatible with IPA, flux removers, and other common electronics cleaning solvents. Always verify compatibility with your specific chemistry before use, particularly with aggressive solvents that may degrade polyurethane foam.
What ISO cleanroom class is the 7022 rated for?
The ACL 7022 is Class 10 laundered and packaged, compatible with ISO Class 4–7 controlled environments. It is suitable for medical device manufacturing, electronics assembly, and other applications requiring low-particle, low-contamination cleaning tools.
