Teknipure TKS570MDF Microdenier over Foam Small Swab, 2.716" (6.90 cm), 2500 swabs/case
Teknipure TKS570MDF Microdenier over Foam Small Cleanroom Swab, 2.716 in (6.90 cm), Case of 2,500
The Teknipure TKS570MDF is a small microdenier over foam cleanroom swab with a 2.716" (6.90 cm) overall length, constructed from 100% microdenier polyester knit over a 100 ppi polyurethane foam core with a 100% polypropylene handle, rated for ISO Class 5–8 environments. The microdenier over foam construction is a hybrid design that combines the best properties of both materials: the microdenier polyester knit outer layer provides ultra-low particle generation, ultra-low NVR, softness, and enhanced particle-capturing capability at the tip surface; the 100 ppi polyurethane foam core provides extra absorbency and cushioning that allows the tip to conform to irregular surfaces and hold more liquid than a polyester-only tip. Laundered using Teknipure’s proprietary cleaning system to minimize NVR, ions, and particulate contamination. Thermally bonded — no adhesives, silicone, or amides. Packaged in silicone-free bags. Lot and bar-coded for traceability. 5-year shelf life stored at ambient conditions (59–86°F / 15–30°C).
Sold in cases of 2,500 swabs (100/inner bag, 5 inner bags/outer bag, 5 outer bags/case).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is microdenier over foam construction and why is it unique?
Microdenier over foam is a hybrid tip construction that bonds a microdenier polyester knit outer layer over a 100 ppi polyurethane foam core. The microdenier polyester outer layer provides the low-particle, low-NVR, soft surface contact of polyester knit — ideal for sensitive optical and precision surfaces. The foam core underneath provides extra absorbency and cushioning that allows the tip to conform to irregular surfaces and hold significantly more liquid than a polyester-only tip. This combination makes the MDF series the preferred choice when you need both the cleanliness of polyester and the absorbency of foam in a single swab.
When should I use the TKS570MDF (microdenier over foam) vs. the TKS553P (polyester only)?
Both provide the low-particle, low-NVR surface contact of polyester knit. The TKS570MDF adds a foam core for extra absorbency and surface conformability — preferred when cleaning irregular surfaces, applying larger volumes of solvent, or when the tip needs to conform to contoured surfaces. The TKS553P (polyester only) provides the absolute lowest NVR and is preferred for the most critical optical surfaces where even the foam core’s minor additional extractables must be avoided.
When should I use the TKS570MDF (microdenier over foam) vs. the TKS580MW (microfiber woven)?
The TKS570MDF’s microdenier polyester outer layer provides ultra-low NVR and high absorbency from the foam core — preferred for solvent application and high-absorption cleaning tasks. The TKS580MW’s woven microfiber uses split filaments for superior mechanical particle and fingerprint capture — preferred for dry optical cleaning and fingerprint removal where mechanical lifting action is more important than absorbency.
Are longer-handle versions of the microdenier over foam swab available?
Yes — the TKS571MDF is the rectangular head microdenier over foam swab at 5.020" and the TKS572MDF is the medium head version with a long handle at 6.417" for deep-reach applications.
