COVENTRYTM Clean Room Products Division of ITW Chemtronics V-Groove and Ferrule Cleaning Swab TDS # 38542F PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The CoventryTM V-Groove and Ferrule Cleaning Swabs are constructed from cleanroom quality, synthetic materials. The head is thermoformed and welded to the handle in a single step using a proprietary process that yields an exceptionally clean swab that will not fall apart. The heads are made from a polyester non-woven fabric. These swabs are resistant to many acids and solvents including acetone. They are characterized by the following features • Excellent strength • High absorbency and absorbency rate • Excellent solvent compatibility • Does not generate loose fibers or particles • No adhesives or binders are used in the construction • Good for tight tolerance work • Delicate edge and fabric head will not scratch TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Designed specifically for V-groove cleaning in fusion splice equipment • Can be used as ferrule cleaner • Works best with PX solvent but can remove dust particles when dry • Micro mechanical cleaning • Good for cleaning very small slits and crevices • Delicate surfaces and parts COMPATIBILITY Non-Woven Polyester Fabric Head is made from pure spun lace, hydro-entangled 100% polyester fiber. It is compatible with most common solvents and dilute or weak acids, as well as ketones such as acetone or MEK. Polypropylene handle is compatible with all common solvents including most acids. These swabs are specifically, designed for use with ITW Chemtronics’ cleaning solvents PX, MX and CZ. For detailed instructions, on the Combination Cleaning Process refer to FO-Chem-4.
