Cleanroom
A cleanroom is a controlled environment used primarily in manufacturing and scientific research where pollutants like dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, and chemical vapors are kept at extremely low levels. Cleanrooms are essential in industries where even tiny contaminants can compromise products or experiments.
Key Features of a Cleanroom:
- Air Filtration: Uses HEPA or ULPA filters to remove particles from the air.
- Air Flow: Maintains positive pressure and laminar airflow to sweep away contaminants.
- Controlled Environment: Regulates temperature, humidity, and particle concentration.
- Strict Protocols: Includes gowning procedures, air showers, and limited access to reduce contamination.
- Materials & Surfaces: Made from smooth, non-shedding materials that are easy to clean.
