The Micro Alpha ESD Swab is an excellent dissipative swab for cleaning very small grooved, slotted and recessed areas. Its laundered, knitted Alpha polyester head is extremely clean. A compact, electrically dissipative handle and flexible internal head paddle provide support and control. The handle is made from a Stat-Rite polymer alloy using a patented Inherently Dissipative Polymer (IDP) to provide clean, permanent ESD protection without contributing particulate vontaminates to the cleanroom.
