Cleanroom

Cleanroom

A cleanroom is an enclosure that is essential for sensitive products. This are necessary in industries such as semiconductor production or in medical technology. In these rooms the air is cleaned of the smallest particles. For this purpose there is a classification, which describes how many particles per m³ volume may be in the room.

A cleanroom certificate states how many particles are emitted by a product into the ambient air during normal operation. In this case, the fewer the particles, the higher is the quality of the product. For cables, igus collaborates with the IPA Institute, where the components are tested for this release in standardised motion sequences in an e-chain and there is a clear statement on the purity class.
