Why Are Specialist Chairs Needed For Cleanroom Environments?

Cleanroom environments have specialist requirements for all furniture within the working space. Cleanrooms require that the number of airborne particles is kept to an absolute minimum.

Even minute particles can cause disruption, damage, or contamination to the manufacturing of electronic devices, semiconductors, or other microelectronic processes.

Chairs in cleanroom spaces need to be practical, comfortable & sterile. These are the core pillars that should be sought after, to ensure all operators have optimal seating.

 

What Features Are Needed From A Cleanroom Chair?

Sterile – Cleanroom chairs are layered with a specific material that aims at reducing contamination to the local environment. These chairs are upholstered with vinyl and PU, which aids in meeting stringent requirements for seating in a cleanroom setting.

ESD Properties – As cleanroom chairs are often required in settings around microelectronics, a degree of protection from ESD is required. Cleanroom chairs that we sell on our site are made with a medistat conductive vinyl and PU, which is designed to meet stringent specifications that cleanroom environments demand.

Comfort – The vast majority of clothing that is required in a cleanroom is uncomfortable. The fibres are not breathable and can provide an uncomfortable experience if worn for long shifts. Therefore, the seating needs to be optimal to ensure that their ergonomic requirements are being met.

Durability – Cleanroom seating requires a degree of durability to ensure that they are long lasting. The perfect blend of comfort and durability is required, mainly to halt the need for repeated investment in cleanroom chairs.
