When constructing a clean room, in order to achieve the required cleanliness level, not only the construction of the wall is required to meet some conditions, but also the selection of the floor material. So what kind of flooring should be chosen for the clean room? Here are the best floor materials for clean rooms.

The pharmaceutical industry uses API’s that are sensitive materials and great precision to use them that help improves the health of patients around the world. The potential contaminants can be introduced in a Cleanroom facility in various ways, as discussed in previous Cleanrooms blogs. It may be through the entry and exit of materials in facilities, through operators, using manufacturing methods that involve mixing releasing dust, oils, use of chemicals that release aerosols, grime on the equipment, that may cause the dust to settle on the flooring. I cannot avoid mentioning the hidden gaps and cracks on the flooring that are potential causes of contamination buildup.

Cleanrooms are critical environments used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, healthcare, and biotechnology, where maintaining stringent cleanliness and contamination control is paramount. One crucial aspect of cleanroom design is selecting the appropriate flooring material. Cleanroom flooring must meet specific requirements to ensure optimal cleanliness, safety, durability, and ease of maintenance. In this article, we will explore the key considerations and best practices for choosing the right cleanroom flooring.

Choosing the correct cleanroom flooring for your modular cleanroom can be very confusing when considering balancing variables such as chemical resistance, Electro Static Discharge (ESD), durability, no particulates and cost. Most warehouses and factories have bare concrete floors that are not suitable for cleanroom flooring since concrete is very porous and contains particulates.

How often do you think about the floor in your cleanroom and controlled environment? Chances are it's quite often and changes in legislation - and maybe a change of production usage or methods - mean that floor finishes may have to be upgraded.

Contamination sources that find their way into your cleanroom can be broadly classified into two categories. Those originating from the physical plant and those from processes/human actions.

How to clean a cleanroom is a question that comes with confusion, but Angstrom is here to help solve it. Cleanroom mopping is a complex method and important to know. There are many techniques for cleanroom mopping, so let us break it down.  Using our guide below will ensure that your cleanroom is spotless.

Buyer beware: There is no easy way to choose which floor, wall or ceiling is best for your cleanroom. Depending on your application, sifting through products can be similar to buying a car – so many choices, not enough information.

Despite all many studies claiming raised floor is no longer necessary in data center design, it is still present in the vast majority of data centers or computer rooms. We are going to address several important factors to consider (structural strength, airflow and leakage if you’re using it for cooling and static dissipation) when choosing and installing a raised floor in your critical facilities.

A raised floor in a data center is an elevated floor that is built two inches to four feet above a concrete floor. It creates a space that can be used for cooling, electrical, and mechanical services. In data centers, raised floors are also used as a way of distributing cold air. By using a raised floor, facilities not only reduce the amount of air needed to cool equipment, they also require less energy and improve temperature distribution across all of the cabinets. According to research on the impact of raised floors on thermal behavior in commercial buildings, the presence of a raised floor can potentially reduce the cooling load by as much as 40 percent. Combining this system with an AI cooling solution could deliver even greater savings.
