Our Cleanroom wall systems interface with floors, ceilings, and mechanical components to provide an ultra-clean environment with effective control of air flow, pressure, temperature, humidity and filtration. They can be customized to fit your exact requirements and provide a cost-effective alternative to conventional construction without compromising quality, durability or efficiency. Our modular Cleanrooms also utilize a flexible design that allows for fast, easy installation in a system that can be expanded or relocated as needs change.

 

With modular Cleanroom wall systems; there is no need to start from ground zero to meet new environmental control requirements in existing manufacturing space. These systems have flexibility built in and are designed to meet the most stringent guidelines for Cleanroom construction requiring a high level of aseptic detailing. The pre-engineered wall panels provide a consistent appearance with the flexibility to be modified on an ever-changing jobsite. They can be configured to any layout and are extremely easy to install.

 

The classification of Cleanrooms most easily understood in the United States is the Federal Standard 209. This method classifies the room by the number of particles greater than or equal to 0.5 micron (µm) in a cubic foot of air. For example, a Class 100 has no more than 100 particles, 0.5 µm or larger, in a cubic foot of air. As shown by the following chart, there are limits for other particle sizes as well.

This system was officially cancelled in 2001 and was replaced by a new protocol from the International Organization for Standardization, ISO14644. The new classifications are similar to the Federal Standard 209 but employ metric units for its system on measurement.

 

As the following chart explains, if the number of 0.5 um particles in an ISO Class 5 room is divided by the number of cubic feet in a meter, the result is 100.


Other major differences between the old and new standards are:

  • An additional limit for 1 µm particles.
  • The standard particle size for ISO classes is 0.1 µm instead of 0.5 µm. Class 3 has 10 3 , 1000, 0.1µm particles per cubic meter.
  • Three additional classes; 2 “cleaner”, classes 1 and 2, and 1 “dirtier”, class 9.
