Teknipure TKS580MW Microfiber Woven Small Swab, 2.756" (7.00 cm), 2500 swabs/case
Teknipure TKS580MW Microfiber Woven Small Cleanroom Swab, 2.756 in (7.00 cm), Case of 2,500
The Teknipure TKS580MW is a small woven microfiber cleanroom swab with a 2.756" (7.00 cm) overall length, constructed from double-layer woven polyester/nylon microfiber with a 100% polypropylene handle, rated for ISO Class 5–8 environments. The woven microfiber construction uses split filaments — each filament is mechanically split into finer sub-filaments — creating a high-surface-area fabric that physically lifts and traps particles, oils, and fingerprints rather than pushing them across the surface. This split-filament mechanical cleaning action makes woven microfiber swabs superior to standard polyester knit swabs for optical surface cleaning, fingerprint removal, and precision component cleaning where streak-free results are required. The double-layer woven construction provides enhanced durability and abrasion resistance. Ultra-low NVR, ultra-low ions and particles. 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 the advantage of woven microfiber over standard polyester knit for swab tips?
Standard polyester knit swabs use continuous filaments that push particles and oils across a surface. Woven microfiber swabs use split filaments — each filament is mechanically split into many finer sub-filaments during manufacturing, creating microscopic channels that physically lift and trap particles, oils, and fingerprints. This split-filament mechanical cleaning action is particularly effective for removing oily contamination and fingerprints from optical surfaces, display glass, and polished metal where standard polyester would smear rather than remove the contamination, leaving streaks.
When should I use the TKS580MW (microfiber woven) vs. the TKS553P (polyester) for small swab cleaning?
Both are small-format swabs for precision cleaning. The TKS580MW’s woven microfiber construction provides superior mechanical cleaning action for removing oils, fingerprints, and fine particles from optical surfaces — the split filaments physically trap contamination rather than redistributing it. The TKS553P’s polyester knit provides ultra-low NVR and excellent chemical resistance with aggressive solvents. Choose microfiber woven for optical cleaning and fingerprint removal; choose polyester for applications requiring maximum chemical resistance or the lowest possible NVR.
Is an ESD-safe version of the TKS580MW available?
Yes — the TKS508E is the ESD-safe woven microfiber swab at 3.583" with a Stat-Rite® dissipative handle for use in ESD-sensitive cleanroom environments.
Is a longer-handle microfiber woven swab available for deep-reach applications?
Yes — the TKS584MW is the microfiber woven medium head swab with a long handle (6.417") for deep-reach cleaning tasks in cleanroom environments.
