Likewise, having a floor surface that doesn’t easily collect dust in a cleanroom is vital, especially with the manufacturing of electronics. A good cleanroom floor should protect against wear and impact damage as well as contribute to the room’s overall cleanliness.
Along with not having holes/cracks, protection against wear and damage, and cleanliness, the criteria of strong cleanroom flooring are:
- Minimum particles released into the airstream.
- Slip resistance.
- Electrical conductivity or electrostatic dissipation.
There are several options when it comes to cleanroom flooring, but the two most common types are sheet vinyl and epoxy flooring. Sheet vinyl is installed by laying the sheeting down on top of the actual floor, and epoxy flooring is a poured resin that creates a seamless and extremely durable surface.
