-
Focused on prevention rather than reaction at the point of entry
-
Reduces contamination transfer deeper into facilities
-
Minimizes cross-contamination between zones
-
Naturally tacky polymer surface that attracts and retains particles
-
Maintains performance even when visibly dirty
-
Cleaning restores performance rather than removing product
-
Washable and easy to clean using approved detergents
-
Compatible with GMP and cleanroom cleaning protocols
-
Designed to support compliance with ISO 14644 cleanroom standards
-
Peer reviewed and independently tested performance data available
-
Easy to validate as part of a contamination control plan
-
Ongoing performance validation supported through testing and technical documentation
-
Typical service life of 3 to 5 years depending on environment
-
Lower total cost of ownership over time
-
No consumables to stock, track, or reorder
-
Reduces labor associated with maintenance and replacement
-
No downtime caused by replacing layers or refilling baths
