Teknipure TKS551P Polyester Small Swab, 2.756" (7.00 cm), 2500 Swabs/Case

The Teknipure TKS551P is a small polyester cleanroom swab designed for critical cleaning applications where low extractables and low particle generation are essential. Polyester tip material offers superior chemical resistance compared to foam, making the TKS551P well-suited for use with a broader range of solvents including IPA, acetone, and other aggressive cleaning agents used in electronics assembly, optical component cleaning, and ISO-classified cleanroom environments. At 2.756 inches (7.00 cm), the TKS551P is a compact swab ideal for fine-pitch component cleaning, connector pin access, and detail work in tight spaces. Sold in cases of 2500 swabs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a polyester tip over a foam tip for cleanroom swabs?

Polyester knit tips offer several advantages over foam in critical cleaning applications: superior chemical resistance to aggressive solvents including acetone and ketones that would degrade foam, lower extractables for applications where ionic or organic contamination must be minimized, and excellent particle entrapment. Polyester is the preferred tip material when solvent compatibility, low extractables, or critical cleanliness requirements exceed what foam can provide.

How does the TKS551P compare to the TKS552P?

Both are polyester swabs in the Teknipure TKS55xP series. The TKS551P (2.756") is the smaller, more compact option suited for fine-pitch access and tight spaces. The TKS552P (3.661") is a medium polyester swab offering more reach and a slightly larger tip for broader surface cleaning. Choose the TKS551P when compact size and high case count are the priority.

What solvents are compatible with the TKS551P polyester tip?

Polyester swabs are compatible with a wide range of solvents including isopropyl alcohol (IPA), acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), deionized water, and most cleanroom-compatible cleaning agents. This broader solvent compatibility is one of the key advantages of polyester over foam tips. Contact MTE Solutions for guidance on specific solvent compatibility for your application.

Is the TKS551P suitable for ISO-classified cleanrooms?

Yes — Teknipure polyester swabs are designed for use in ISO-classified cleanroom environments. The polyester tip generates low particles and has low extractables suitable for critical cleaning protocols. For specific ISO class validation data or extractables testing results, refer to Teknipure product documentation or contact MTE Solutions for technical support.
