Why Teknipure TKS550P?
The Teknipure TKS550P is a small polyester cleanroom swab designed for precision cleaning of sensitive surfaces where streak-free results and ultra-low contamination are critical. The double-layer 100% polyester knit tip provides enhanced absorbency and softness compared to single-layer polyester swabs, while the abrasion-resistant construction resists snagging and prevents fiber release during use — making it ideal for cleaning lenses, sensors, optics, and other delicate critical components.
Unlike foam swabs, polyester swabs leave no foam residue and provide streak-free cleaning performance on smooth, polished surfaces. Manufactured in cleanroom conditions and laundered using Teknipure’s proprietary cleaning system to achieve ultra-low NVR, ion, and particle levels. Packaged in silicone-free bags with lot and bar-code traceability. A direct alternative to the Texwipe TS-P-3.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Texwipe equivalent of the TKS550P?
The TKS550P is a direct alternative to the Texwipe TS-P-3 polyester small swab.
When should I choose a polyester swab over a foam swab?
Polyester swabs are preferred for streak-free cleaning of smooth, polished surfaces such as lenses, sensors, and optics — where foam residue or tip fragmentation would be problematic. Foam swabs offer higher absorbency and are better for applying/removing larger volumes of solvent or for scrubbing textured surfaces.
What makes the double-layer polyester tip better than single-layer?
The double-layer construction provides enhanced absorbency and softness while maintaining the abrasion resistance needed to prevent snagging and fiber release on delicate surfaces.
Are the TKS550P swabs sterile?
No. The TKS550P is non-sterile.
How are the swabs packaged?
100 swabs per inner bag, 5 inner bags per outer bag, 5 outer bags per case — 2,500 swabs total per case.
