Clean Room Construction with Sandwich Panels

Clean rooms require highly controlled environments with extremely high precision. These spaces have strict requirements of air quality, temperature, and humidity. For example, the production of electronic products, pharmaceuticals, or medical equipment all takes place in clean rooms. Traditional constructions struggle to meet these stringent environmental standards; otherwise, sandwich panels are a simple and efficient solution.

Sandwich panels are a composite structure consisting of three layers: a core material sandwiched between two metal outer layers. The outer layers are typically made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, or color-coated steel. The core material can be polyurethane (PU), mineral wool, honeycomb, or hollow magnesium. This unique composite panel structure combines strength and thermal insulation.

Why Sandwich Panels Perform Excellently in Cleanrooms?

Sandwich panels perform excellently in cleanrooms because of their airtight structure, smooth surface (facilitating hygiene), and strong thermal insulation and fire resistance—all crucial for controlling contamination.

Here are the reasons why sandwich panels are the preferred material for cleanroom environments:

Hygiene and Contamination Control

The smooth, non-porous surface of sandwich panels (typically made of steel or aluminum) prevents the accumulation of dust, microorganisms, and contaminants, while facilitating simple and effective cleaning. The panels are joined seamlessly with tongue-and-groove joints, eliminating any gaps or pores that can inhibit bacterial growth. This is crucial for meeting ISO cleanroom class requirements.

Insulation and Energy Efficiency

The high-performance core material of sandwich panels provides superior insulation, minimizing heat transfer from walls, floors, and ceilings. Because cleanrooms require precise temperature stability, reduced heat exchange lowers energy costs. Throughout the panel's lifespan, the panels maintain a stable internal environment, resulting in significant energy savings.

Fire Resistance and Safety

Fire safety is paramount in enclosed spaces. DXH Container offers ISO-compliant rock wool sandwich panels that can withstand temperatures up to 1200 degrees Celsius. This ensures compliance with safety regulations in sensitive environments such as pharmaceutical or electronics manufacturing.

Speed ​​and Modularity

Modular design enables rapid assembly and disassembly, saving time on large projects and providing flexibility for future expansion or reconfiguration. Compared to traditional drywall structures, sandwich panels snap into place easily, requiring no large tools for installation and minimizing project downtime.

Industry Versatility

Sandwich panels are widely used in industries with extremely high cleanliness requirements, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, and food processing, due to their high customizability and diverse core material configurations.

In summary, sandwich panels combine hygiene, durability, and high performance, perfectly meeting the requirements of clean rooms. They maintain a controlled environment while providing flexibility and safety, making them an indispensable material in modern cleanroom construction.

FAQs

How are Sandwich Panels Installed in a Cleanroom?

1. The panels are pre-cut and processed, then assembled on-site using interlocking joints.

2. Airtightness is ensured through the use of sealant and gaskets.

3. Electrical and HVAC systems are integrated during or after panel installation.

Do Sandwich Panels meet Cleanroom Standards?

Yes. When selected and installed properly, sandwich panels can meet ISO and GMP standards for cleanroom environments in industries such as biotechnology, electronics, and healthcare.

Can Sandwich Panels Support Various Equipment in a Cleanroom?

Absolutely. The panels are designed to accommodate integrated conduits for electrical wiring, as well as recessed installations such as lighting fixtures and sockets, HVAC ducts and HEPA filters, and doors and windows, without compromising airtightness.

Can Sandwich Panels be Reused or Reconfigured?

Yes, sandwich panels can be reused and reconfigured, which makes them a sustainable and cost-effective building alternative, especially suitable for temporary or modular buildings.
