Contamination: The Risk to the Electronic Industry

Contamination control has become a growing concern in many facets of the electronics industry, and a costly problem if unaddressed. The harmful effects posed by contamination threaten innovative developments and advancements within areas such as integrated circuits, microelectronics, and semiconductors, as well as embedded systems, photonics, and nanoelectronics. The use of an electronics cleanroom and controlled spaces helps to monitor and minimize the level of contaminants from personnel, equipment, and environmental factors.

Common types of contamination found in the design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing of electronics include dust, debris, fibers, skin cells, static, and other particulate matter. The presence of these contaminants can cause several negative outcomes including inferior quality and performance, unreliable products, decreased product yield, and safety concerns from product failure.

The risks to a company’s brand, its profitability, and its people are too great to be ignored. Effective contamination control is essential for facilities in all processes throughout the various phases of operation. This is why an electronics cleanroom is the future of the electronics industry.

Dycem mats, implemented as part of a contamination control strategy, offer optimal support in reducing the risk of contamination.

Benefits of Dycem in the Electronics Industry

superior particle collection & retention

Dirt and dust from shoes and wheels are captured on Dycem mats and remain on the surface until cleaned off. Dycem mats help to reduce contamination from shoes and wheels by up to 99.9%, and airborne contamination by up to 75%, keeping unwanted particles out of cleanrooms and controlled spaces.

Reduced concerns about esd damage

With Dycem mats installed prior to an electronics cleanroom, our electronics customers have peace of mind that damage from an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) occurrence will be minimized. All Dycem mats dissipate static at 10⁸ ohms.

Long-lasting, cost-effective Alternative

Unlike common disposable contamination control solutions, Dycem mats last on average 3+ years. Electronics manufacturers can expect an ROI shortly after purchase, as well as the added benefit of a reduced carbon footprint from less plastic waste.

Learn how our customers have benefitted from installing Dycem mats in their electronics cleanroom.

"We have found the Dycem mats to be effective and simple to maintain, they look smart and are far superior to traditional tacky mats. The original fit and the replacements were carried out to a very high standard."

“There is no question in the superiority of the particle capture efficiency of Dycem over the tacky mat. It has been a pleasure working with Dycem in keeping our cleanroom floors clean.”

"We had a short experience with a competitive product and can definitely recommend Dycem as our chosen solution."

“With Dycem, more dirt (was) prevented from entering the controlled environment and anterooms due to bigger coverage and capability of material catching more particulates. Huge cost savings.”

"We had 'suffered' the classic sticky mats for many years before we were fortunate enough to find Dycem. After a trial, we installed across the whole site. Great results and everybody happy."

"Dycem is the most cost effective means of controlling contamination at the floor level and preventing contamination from getting into critical development work."

"The finish with Dycem inlaid into the vinyl is excellent. With large amounts of traffic within the aseptic unit, the flooring system ensures a consistent C/D environment."

“I love how the mats hide any present dirt and how easy cleaning the mats are. I have no contamination issues in my clean-room or prep area since using the Dycem mats.”

“We were more than satisfied, and we had the original mats for longer than expected. Really solid product!”

“We are very satisfied with the use of Dycem. The ease of cleaning and space we have gained in our warehouse by not having to stock sticky mats have made Dycem mats an integral and rewarding function in our facility.”

"Dycem mats are very easy to clean, they trap dust and dirt very well and look great. I am pleased they last 3-5 years, which should be a significant cost saving."

"We are impressed by how good Dycem looks in all of the areas they have been applied. The ease of cleaning is also a plus."

“Dycem staff are efficient, knowledgeable, and understand the needs of the customer.”

“The result was a noticeable improvement in the capture and removal of light debris from shoes in a contained area on the Dycem flooring."

"The Dycem mats are a wonderful solution for our facility. We chose the Cobalt finish and it looks sharp and professional."

“After researching many companies providing similar solutions, we were keen to work with Dycem for their apparent cost efficiency. This has proved to be an absolute; we are convinced the installation has saved us a great amount in the long term.”

"The Dycem mats have been an integral part of our microbial control strategy and have allowed us to improve control over time by adding mats in areas with higher hits."

Maintaining a Mission Critical Mindset

Here is a great quote from Power Electronics News:

“Keep in mind that electronics may go into all kinds of devices, including some where consistency is mission-critical. For instance, air compressor cleaning is crucial for PCBs used in robotics development, including competitive robotics and aerospace robotics. Poor quality and performance consistency could result in a NASA rover glitching on Mars or a robotics competition ending up skewed due to a contaminated PCB.

To prevent incidents like these from happening, manufacturers need to use an electronics cleanroom and treat every component like it’s mission-critical. Using the best cleaning solutions and tools available, as well as a clear cleaning regimen, will ensure every electronic component ships out with the best quality and performance possible.”
