The Absorbond Swab with Long Handle is an excellent general-purpose swab for cleaning surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. Its hydroentangled, continuous-filament polyester head is extremely low in nonvolatile residue. A long handle and flexible internal head paddle provide good support. This swab can replace typical long-handled cotton swabs in applications requiring superior cleanliness. The softness of the Absorbond head also makes it a good choice for sensitive surfaces, including coated optics. The Absorbond with Long Handle swab is also another option for surface sampling and cleaning validation.
