Product Specifications

Why Use Long Stem Cotton Applicators?

Small cleaning and application tasks are common during aircraft and equipment maintenance. A long stem cotton applicator provides more reach than a conventional short swab while maintaining the small working surface of a cotton tip.

For maintenance personnel, these applicators can be useful when cleaning around components, removing residue from confined areas, or applying a small amount of material precisely where it is needed. Keeping disposable cotton applicators available as part of a hangar or MRO shop supply inventory can also be useful for routine maintenance and cleanup tasks.

Important Usage Information

These applicators are non-sterile and should not be selected where a sterile applicator is specifically required. Before using a cotton applicator with a solvent, cleaner, lubricant, sealant, adhesive, or other chemical product, verify that the applicator materials are compatible with the intended product and application.

Follow the applicable aircraft, component, equipment, and product manufacturer's instructions whenever performing maintenance.
