Clean Room Adhesives & Films
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Ultra-Low Particulate Tapes for Contamination-Sensitive Environments
Clean Room Adhesives and Films are highly specialized pressure-sensitive materials used in environments with strict particulate and microbial control (e.g., ISO Class 7/Class 10,000 and cleaner). These tapes are engineered to be extremely low-linting, non-outgassing (minimal VOCs), and often feature non-shedding film backings (e.g., PE, PVC, or Polyester). The tapes are used for sealing, bundling, and marking within cleanrooms, and are frequently designed with a clean-removal adhesive system to prevent residue contamination upon removal. Their entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to application, is focused on eliminating potential sources of microscopic contamination that could ruin sensitive processes in electronics, pharmaceutical, or aerospace manufacturing.
- Ultra-Low Outgassing: Minimizes VOCs and chemical contamination, essential for sensitive optics/electronics.
- Low Particulate Count: Designed to not generate or shed microscopic fibers or particles.
- Non-Residue Removal: Prevents adhesive transfer which can attract dust and particulates.
Why Choose Us
Critical Cleanliness and Purity Features
- Non-Leachable Components: The adhesive is formulated to ensure that no chemical components can leach out and contaminate adjacent surfaces, a critical factor for semiconductor wafer processing.
- Gamma Sterilization Compatible: Specialized medical-grade films and adhesives can withstand gamma or E-beam sterilization, making them suitable for use in packaging or securing sterile medical devices.
- Clean, Stable Backings: Utilizing smooth, polymer film backings (PE, PET) that resist abrasion and eliminate the risk of the tape itself generating and shedding fibers or particles into the air.
- Packaging Protocol: All rolls are slit, wound, and double-bagged in a controlled environment, ensuring the outer bag can be stripped outside the cleanroom, delivering a contamination-free product inside.
Core Features
Contamination-Critical Applications and Protocols
- Sealing of Equipment & Barriers: Sealing seams on temporary plastic barriers, cleanroom walls, and tool wrapping to prevent the shedding of materials.
- Instrument Identification & Labeling: Using color-coded cleanroom tape for temporary labeling of parts, tools, and containers within the sterile processing area.
- Wafer/Component Securing: Temporary holding of substrates or sensitive components during transport or specialized coating processes (often requiring high-purity acrylic tapes).
- Floor Marking: Marking movement or equipment zones on the cleanroom floor with non-shedding, heavy-duty vinyl tapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I verify the cleanroom compatibility of the tape?
- A: We provide data on Non-Volatile Residue (NVR) and, for certain high-purity grades, analytical testing results confirming low levels of extractable ions (Na+, K+, Cl−), which are crucial for semiconductor manufacturing.
- Q: Can cleanroom tape be used indefinitely without generating particles?
- A: While designed to be non-shedding, the adhesive will attract ambient particles over time. It is recommended to use the tape for temporary applications and remove it promptly to maintain the integrity of the clean environment.
- Q: What is the significance of "low outgassing" for my application?
- A: Outgassing refers to the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the tape's adhesive into the air. In sensitive processes (e.g., optical coatings, hard-disk drives), these compounds can condense on surfaces, causing functional failure; hence, low outgassing is essential.
