Details of CleanRoom Panel System

A cleanroom panel is a fundamental component in constructing controlled environments designed to limit contamination from airborne particles, microbes, and other pollutants. These panels are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, microelectronics, aerospace, and food processing. This article provides an in-depth technical overview of cleanroom panels, their materials, industry standards, engineering specifications, and best practices for installation and maintenance.

What Is a Cleanroom Panel?

Cleanroom panels are modular wall and ceiling structures designed to ensure environmental integrity in cleanrooms. They provide:

• Airborne particle control

• Antibacterial surfaces

• Thermal insulation

• Structural stability

• Compliance with cleanroom classification standards

Panels are manufactured using materials that resist particle shedding, corrosion, and microbial growth while maintaining strict surface smoothness and low porosity.

Key Components and Materials

A typical cleanroom panel consists of:

• Core Material:

• Aluminum honeycomb

• Rockwool

• Magnesium oxide (MgO)

• Paper honeycomb

• Polyurethane (PU)

• Polystyrene (EPS)

• Surface Skin:

• Powder-coated galvanized steel (PCGI)

• Stainless steel (SUS304 or SUS316L)

• High-pressure laminate (HPL)

• Antibacterial PVC film

Each material is selected based on specific industry needs such as fire resistance, anti-static performance, or microbial control.

Engineering Specifications and Physical Properties

Design and Construction Principles

1. Airtight Sealing

All joints and intersections must be sealed using silicon, coving, or H-sections to avoid microbial and particle buildup.

2. Antimicrobial Surface

Surfaces must be smooth, scratch-resistant, and antimicrobial to prevent contamination accumulation.

3. Modular Interchangeability

Panel systems are typically modular to facilitate quick assembly, disassembly, and scalability of cleanroom layouts.

4. Compatibility with Utility Routing

Panels often include embedded or attachable conduits for electrical, HVAC, and gas systems without compromising cleanliness.

Regulatory and Certification Standards

Cleanroom panels must meet international guidelines such as:

• ISO 14644: Cleanroom classification and construction requirements

• GMP (EU and WHO): For pharmaceutical manufacturing zones

• FM Approvals (for fire resistance): Particularly in US-based facilities

• RoHS / REACH Compliance: Ensures materials are safe for human contact

Each project may also require validation through particle count tests, air leakage tests, and surface biocontamination assessments.

Installation Best Practices

• Environmental Control: Install in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment to prevent panel warping.

• Proper Alignment: Use laser-guided positioning for accurate vertical and horizontal alignment.

• Joint Sealing: Apply silicone or cove sealants at all intersections to ensure airtightness.

• Panel Handling: Use soft lifting pads or vacuum suction tools to avoid dents or scratches.

• Inspection and Handover: Include visual checks, surface smoothness tests, and air tightness validations.

Common Applications

• Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms

• Semiconductor Fabrication Labs

• Medical Device Manufacturing

• Aerospace Assembly Zones

• Food and Beverage Sterile Areas

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the difference between rockwool and aluminum honeycomb core panels?

A: Rockwool provides better fire resistance and sound insulation, while aluminum honeycomb offers superior rigidity and dimensional stability with lower weight.

Q2: Are cleanroom panels reusable?

A: Yes, modular cleanroom panels are designed for disassembly and reuse during facility upgrades or relocations.

Q3: Can cleanroom panels support ceiling-mounted equipment?

A: Load-bearing panel systems reinforced with steel inserts or integrated framing are available for such use. Always verify the static load limits during design.

Q4: What is the expected lifespan of cleanroom panels?

A: With proper maintenance and compliance, cleanroom panels can last 15–20 years depending on the material and operating conditions.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Use pH-neutral cleaning agents to avoid surface degradation.

• Perform weekly inspections for scratches or panel joint deterioration.

• Replace sealants annually in high-humidity or chemical-prone environments.

• Revalidate panels post-maintenance according to ISO 14644 protocols.

Conclusion

Cleanroom panels are a critical structural and functional element in contamination-controlled environments. Their correct specification, installation, and maintenance ensure compliance with international cleanroom standards and sustained performance in sensitive applications.
