A cleanroom is a controlled environment designed to filter out pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, and aerosol particles, ensuring the cleanest possible area. These spaces protect the production of items like electronic devices, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment. Cleanrooms are classified into different classes based on the number of particles allowed per cubic meter of air, and they also regulate variables such as temperature, airflow, and humidity.
IInfection control is of the utmost importance and a top priority within hospitals,clinics,laboratorys. To achieve such high levels of hygiene within these areas, specially formulated clean room sealants can be applied to the surrounding areas of all fixtures and fitting perimeters. These long life sealants protect against the growth of a range of bacteria, some of which include Salmonella, E-coli and MRSA and play a critical part in maintaing the integrity of the clean room environment by preventing contamination from outside sources.
Cleanroom Sealant Fields of Application:
It is important to note that not all sealants and silicone products are suitable for use in clean room environments. Products that are not specifically formulated for use in clean rooms may contain high levels of VOCs that emit strong odours that can compromise the integrity of the clean room environment.
