3 Features Every Cleanroom Documentation Product Needs
Cleanroom personnel—such as engineers, line supervisors, scientists, and technicians—have important jobs in their controlled environment. A lot of what you do needs documentation for things like procedural manuals, forms, job orders, equipment manuals, work tickets, and general notetaking. This documentation requires specialized, cleanroom-safe products. At Medco Supplies, we know the top 3 features to look for in high quality cleanroom documentation products.
Particulate Resistant
Cleanroom paper is very different from standard paper. Standard paper is made of wood pulp, has a rough finish, and is inconsistently thick and thin in places. When torn, standard paper releases wood fibers from the cellulose. These qualities make standard paper unsuitable for micro and nano cleanroom environments.
Cleanroom paper, however, is smooth with a stable consistency throughout. It has been flattened and coated with a synthetic, polymer formula that obstructs particle generation. Inside is wood pulp, but it has been coated with a latex finish to keep it from contaminating the cleanroom. Blue is the most common cleanroom paper color since it is easily distinguishable from standard paper that shouldn’t be brought into the cleanroom.
Cleanroom notebooks are made with the same polymer-coated, flattened paper to be nonparticulating. The covers are non-shedding plastic with a plastic spine. The 5.5”x8.5” size is the most popular for micro and nano cleanrooms and it comes in 50 sheets/100 pages, college rule. These notebooks are sold individually. They are not ESD compatible since the carbon-loaded plastic can hold a charge. Cleanroom sticky notes are also an essential documentation product and they are tightly
