What's the difference between a wiping stick and an ordinary cotton swab

The wiping rod is a dust-free wiping consumable used in industry. They are mostly used for wiping corners, gaps and planes in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Its varieties can be divided into electronic photoelectric wiping rod, medical beauty wiping rod, household wiping rod and other industrial fields. The wiping rod has various shapes and can be wiped with various solvents.

Wiping stick is also called Cotton Swab, cleaning cotton swab, anti-static cotton swab, sponge stick, etc. People often confuse this wiping help with huby's cotton swab, but in fact, this dust-free wiping stick is essentially different from the cotton swab. The swab head is made of cotton and cannot be cleaned. It may be scraped off during wiping. The material of wiping rod is mainly divided into sponge head and cloth head. Both of them are cleaned and packaged in a dust-free room, so they will not be scratched off during wiping. In the advanced dust-free environment, the wiping consumables used must be above grade 100. Only the wiping cloth and wiping rod can meet the requirements, while the wiping paper and cotton swab can only be used for product wiping in ordinary environment.

A: Perforated Pu sponge, 100ppi (PPI -- poreperinch, refers to the number of holes per inch. The more the number, the finer the sponge, so
The sponge has low density and is easy to fall off, but it absorbs water quickly and is suitable for medical use;
B: Perforated Pu sponge, 400-500ppi, higher density than 100ppi sponge, not easy to fall off, high dust-free grade, suitable for electronic use
3. Non woven cloth head: (the non-woven cloth wiping rod is of low grade, but the processing difficulty is relatively small and the price is cheap)
