CRITICAL ENVIRONMENT
CHANNEL
Not all work environments are plaids and hard hats. Some work environments are about specialty safety needs, such as keeping the dirt out, keeping a safe zone or protecting your body from extreme cold, heat or pathogens. Protective Industrial Products offers an extensive line-up of gloves, aprons and accessories to meet the needs of this diverse market, designed to provide protection while simultaneously protecting the product or process that is being handled.
THE STRICT STANDARDS OF A CLEANROOM
CONTROLLING CONTAMINATION
While more than 30 different industry segments utilize cleanrooms, 70 percent of U.S. cleanroom floor space is in the semiconductor and other electronic components, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. The evolution of cleanrooms gained momentum as a result of NASA’s space travel program in the 1950s and 1960s. During this time, problems with particulate contamination were identified and a research program was started.
Research shows contamination came from three sources:
There are four main groups of contaminants:
Particles - usually carried on air currents, are solid matter, such as human skin flakes, dust and fibers from clothing, particles from production materials or from tooling and equipment.
Microorganisms such as bacteria can be extremely dangerous if they are allowed to contaminate medicines that will be administered to people who are injured or sick, or if they should contaminate food and cause poisoning.
Chemicals can react with the product and cause changes to the formulation or destroy the product.
Electrostatic discharge given off by the human body can be as high as 35,000 volts. The energy attracts particles and, as these particles colonize in one place, they cause particulate damage. The discharge itself can also cause severe damage.
