Cleanroom Supplies
Equipment, furniture, and other working materials within the cleanroom must
be carefully regulated. Any material which is fibrous (and therefore diffuses
particles into the air) cannot be allowed, and materials used regularly within
the room must be easy to clean. Paper and fabric chairs are usually not allowed,
and masks & protective clothing are almost always worn. Into higher classifications
of cleanrooms, specifically Class One cleanrooms, workers usually wear "bunny
suits", which are ultra-clean, low-particle jumpsuits. Foot coverings,
hair nets and head coverings and multiple layers of gloves usually accompany
bunny suits.
Since all objects within the cleanroom must be taken into consideration for
cleanliness and particle diffusion, furniture and other items are often specialized
specifically for cleanroom use. Waste cans, paper, cleaning supplies, gloves,
garments, computers, writing utensils and more are designed for cleanroom use
and help keep air particle count low. Specially designed cleanroom shoes often
have perfectly smooth soles, although the soles must either be tacky or be
accompanied by tacky mats within the chamber, for safety is always the highest
priority.
Other cleanroom supplies might include adhesive mats, which are floor mats
with varying degrees of tackiness designed to pick up particles on the floor
from feet and from workers entering and exiting the room. Adhesive mats are
usually multi-layered, so the top layer can be removed and the remaining mat
reused. Other mops, spill socks and pillows, mop buckets and wringers are designed
specifically for low-particle release in clean rooms. Tacky rollers are slightly
adhesive rollers which clean particles from smooth surfaces.
