Cleanroom Must-Haves
Essential Supplies Every Cleanroom Must Have Special, low particulate supplies are essential components of every cleanroom. The nature of cleanrooms dictate that supplies are carefully prepared, bagged and stored with low contamination in mind.
That’s why Medco Supplies offers an array of cleanroom supplies, readily available in bulk quantities, so you always have exactly what you need. But what supplies are essential for cleanrooms?
Let’s look at the four most common categories and what supplies are required for cleanrooms to operate at peak efficiency. Garment Essentials Cleanrooms require specific garments to ensure low contamination in the controlled environment.
Cleanroom garments include:
- Coveralls – available with or without boots and hoods
- Frocks – for lighter usage when coveralls aren’t needed
- Shoe covers – aka booties, with or without ESD conductivity strips
- Boot covers – more complete coverage than shoe covers
- Sleeves – added protection for employees
- Hoods – essential for low contamination
PPE Necessities
Cleanroom workers also need a full spectrum of personal protective gear including:
- Gloves – protects against chemicals and contamination
- Finger cots – when full gloves aren’t needed, finger cots provide extra grip and protection
- Masks – essential layer of protection for employees
- Bouffants – keep hair controlled and away from production
- Beard covers – tame the beards and protect the products
Environment Needs
To maintain a strictly controlled environment in the cleanroom, there are three items that are necessities to have on hand. These are:
- Sticky mats – trap and control particulates from being tracked into the cleanroom
- Sticky rollers – roll on walls and surfaces to trap and control particulates
- Wipers – essential clean up wipes for spills and messes
Documentation Requisites
Finally, ensure your cleanroom employees have all the writing supplies needed to keep
up with their work. Specially produced products are bonded and cut to reduce
particulate shedding and stand up to daily use. These documentation supplies include:
- Paper – cleanroom paper or 3-hole punched paper made to cleanroom
- specifications for low particulate generation
- Glassine weighing paper – specially cut sheets in various sizes
- 3-ring binders – in white
- Clipboards – for your cleanroom paper
