Teknipure TKS509E Medium Head Foam ESD Swab with Long Handle, 6.417" (16.30 cm), 1000 swabs/case
Teknipure TKS509E Medium Head Foam ESD Cleanroom Swab with Long Handle, 6.417 in (16.30 cm), Case of 1,000
The Teknipure TKS509E is the ESD-safe version of the medium head foam long-handle cleanroom swab, with a 6.417" (16.30 cm) overall length, constructed from 100 ppi polyurethane foam with a Stat-Rite® electrostatic dissipative (ESD) handle, rated for ISO Class 5–8 environments. The Stat-Rite® handle uses inherently dissipative polymers based on polypropylene — ESD properties are built into the material, not a surface coating, providing permanent dissipative performance that does not degrade with use or solvent exposure. The medium head tip provides a larger contact surface for greater liquid absorption and solvent application coverage; the 6.417" long handle provides maximum reach into deep equipment cavities, process chambers, and tool interiors in ESD-sensitive environments. Foam tip is thermally bonded — no adhesives, silicone, or amides. Laundered to minimize NVR and ions. Lot and bar-coded for traceability. 5-year shelf life stored at ambient conditions (59–86°F / 15–30°C).
Sold in cases of 1,000 swabs (100/inner bag, 1 inner bag/outer bag, 10 outer bags/case).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the TKS509E (ESD) and the TKS529F (standard) medium head foam long-handle swab?
Both use the same 100 ppi polyurethane foam medium head tip and 6.417" long handle. The only difference is the handle material: TKS529F uses a standard 100% polypropylene handle; TKS509E uses a Stat-Rite® inherently dissipative polypropylene handle that safely dissipates electrostatic charge during swabbing. Use the TKS509E in any environment where ESD-sensitive components are present — semiconductor wafer handling, PCB assembly, disk drive manufacturing, and similar applications.
What is Stat-Rite® and why is inherent dissipation better than a coated ESD handle?
Stat-Rite® is Teknipure’s proprietary blend of inherently dissipative polymers based on polypropylene. Inherently dissipative means the ESD properties are built into the polymer matrix itself — not applied as a surface coating or treatment. Coated ESD handles can lose their dissipative properties as the coating wears off or is degraded by cleaning solvents. Stat-Rite® handles maintain permanent, consistent electrostatic dissipative performance regardless of use or solvent exposure.
Why choose a foam tip over polyester for ESD swabbing?
Foam tips (TKS509E) provide higher liquid absorbency and better particle-capturing capability than polyester tips — making them preferred for solvent application, liquid absorption, and scrubbing tasks. Polyester tips (TKS510E) provide lower particle generation and better chemical resistance with aggressive solvents. Choose foam for high-absorbency tasks; choose polyester when minimizing particle generation is the priority.
Is a shorter ESD foam swab available for close-proximity work?
Yes — the TKS503E is the ESD-safe pointed spiral foam dual-end swab at 2.626" for close-proximity precision cleaning in ESD-sensitive environments where the long handle is not needed.
