| Saturant / Compatibility | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aqueous / Water-based | Product can be saturated with an aqueous water-based or water-soluble cleaner, surface treatments, disinfectant or coating. | ||
| Solvent / Solvent-based | Solvent or solvent-based cleaner or surface treatment. | ||
| Terpene / Oil-based | Surface treatment or cleaning agent based on or containing terpenes (plant-derived hydrocarbons) or oil compositions. Oil or terpene based cleaners are useful in removing grime, smoke, soot, carbon deposits, grease or oil smudge or films, diesel fuel and cutting fluids. D-limolene (citrus derived) and pinene (pine or wood turpentine derived) compounds are examples of terpenes. Terpenes are being looked at as replacements for the phased-out solvent cleaner (CFCs and trichloroethane). | ||

|
|
| ||
| Tip Width / OD | This is the width or outer diameter (OD) of the active cleaning surface. On a swab or cleaning stick, this would be the diameter of the cotton, foam or microfiber tip or head. On a cleaning cartridge or reel cleaner, the width of the exposed cleaning surface.On a wipe, this would be the overall width of the cleaning sheet. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Tip Length | This is the length of the active cleaning surface. On a swab or cleaning stick this would be the diameter of the cotton, foam or microfiber tip or head. On a cleaning cartridge or reel cleaner, the length of the exposed cleaning surface. On a card cleaner, this would be the length of the cloth cleaning strip or pad.On a wipe, this would be the overall width of the cleaning sheet. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Overall Length | The overall length of the product is typicall the longest dimension.On a swab or cleaning stick, the overall length would be the sum of the tip or head and handle lengths. On a wipe or twel, this would be the overall length of the cleaning sheet, since the whole surface is used for cleaning on wipe, towel, rag or cleaning cloth | ||

| Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Anti-static / ESD Safe | Product contains anti-static agents or conductive compounds to reduce or eliminate the generation of static electrical charges. Static electrical charges can damage or destroy electronic components or devices. Static charges commonly build up on thin materials such as polyimide, Kapton, PET sheets during web handling or converting operations. | ||
| Disinfecting / Sanitizing | The product contain biocides, germicides, sporicide, insecticides, pesticides, viricides, repellents, disinfectants or sanitizers can be effective against bacteria including TB (mycobacterium tuberculosis), viruses including HIV-1 (AIDS), fungi, spores, parasites, insects and/or other organisms or micro-organisms. | ||
| Double Ended | Swab with tips on both ends of the handle. | ||
| Specialty / Other | Other unlisted, proprietary or specialty features. | ||

| Industry Applications | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Applicator (Stains, Coating, Lubricants) | Product is suitable for absorbing and applying stain, lubricants, varnish or other coatings. | ||
| Biotech (Pharmaceutical / Medical) | Surface treatment or cleaning agent is suitable for pharmaceutical, medical or other biotechnology applications. | ||
| Critical Cleaning / Cleanroom (Residue / Lint Free) | The product is suitable for critical cleaning application requiring a residue and lint free surface. After rinsing, no residue remains on the surface. Semiconductor, optics, pharmaceutical, medical or biotech applications often require critical or residue free cleaning agent.Critical cleaning product do not have exposed edges, which can snag releasing lint or fiber. Products have a wrapped, folder and sealed construction to eliminate edges of the cleaning cloth or foam. Corners should be avoid as well, which can trap soils, particles, and dust. | ||
| Cleaning Validation | Swabs designed to check a surface for particulates, dust, microbes or other contaminants. | ||
| Degreasing (Oil, Tar, Waxes) | Degreasers or degreasing cleaning products are used to remove oils, petroleum compounds, cutting fluids, grease, wax, adhesives, asphalt, tar, waxes, pitches and other oil or petroleum based soils. Degreasing cleaning agents can be water, terpene or solvent based. | ||
| Electrical / Electronics | Surface treatment or cleaning agent is suitable for electrical or electronic applications such as patterning printed circuit boards, removing dust from keyboards or other electronic devices or cleaning electrical contacts in circuit breakers or relays. | ||
| Fiber Optic / Optical Components | Wipe, swab, aerosol cleaner, surface treatment or cleaning agent is suitable for fiber optic or optical component applications. Fiber optic splice or connector cleaners need to be residue free and dry quickly to avoid entrapment of cleaning agents or solvents. | ||
| Labels / Adhesives | Cleaning products is engineered for the removal of labels, tapes and adhesives. | ||
| Particle / Dust Removal | Product is designed to remove fine particles or dust from a surface. Tack cloths are commonly used to remove saw dust from a wood surface prior to staining, varnishing or painting. High cleanliness products are used to remove particles from surface in semiconductor, optical, cleanroom and other critical cleaning applications | ||
| Printing / Stencils | Cleaning agent formulated for printing applications such as the removal of inks, pastes, adhesives from stencils, screens, frames, printer components and printers. | ||
| Semiconductor Wafer | Surface treatment or cleaning agent is suitable for semiconductor wafer applications, which must meet very stringent cleanliness to avoid contamination of critical wafer or optical substrate surfaces with particulates or residues. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, proprietary or specialty approvals or industry applications. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
