Cottontip Swabs

The Cottontips™ Swab consists of cotton fibers which are tightly wrapped around a wooden handle. Because of the tightly wrapped head, there is very little linting. These cotton swabs have excellent absorbency, as well as high strength especially when saturated with water. This cotton swab is designed for cleaning applications where absorbency is critical.

FAQ's

Are Q-tips / cotton bud swabs lint free?

No, cotton bud swabs (aka Q-tips) can’t be considered lint-free. Cotton tends to lead behind threads and particulates. Open cell polyurethane foam swabs are a common, very clean replacement for cotton. If harsh solvents are being used on the swabs, or even more cleanliness is needed, knit polyester or microfiber swabs are an excellent choice.
