Your hunt for the right cleanroom wall panels comes to an end with the ASTM-certified and FDA-compliant Duramax panels. Made to last and perform, these panels are a practical solution that is efficient as well as affordable in the long run. They make your cleanroom operations hassle-free with low maintenance and ease of cleaning. Learn all about them and how they are better than the conventional FRP panels. But before that, let’s dig into what a cleanroom is and why hygiene is the most crucial aspect of it:

What is a cleanroom? 

A cleanroom is a space with a controlled environment that requires maintaining very low levels of airborne particles, such as dust, microorganisms, and aerosol particles on the cleanroom walls, as well as chemical vapors. These rooms are built to ensure product quality and safety by preventing contamination. The room is maintained at controlled temperature, humidity, and pressure, and is a critical component in the food and pharmaceutical industry. They are widely used in industries such as:

• Pharmaceutical

• Biotechnology and laboratories

• Semiconductor production

• Food and beverage processing

• Aerospace and medical device manufacturing
  

Importance of Hygiene and Cleanliness in Cleanrooms

Designed to protect products and processes from contamination, hygiene and cleanliness are absolutely critical in cleanrooms. Here’s why you must prioritize these aspects: 

• Prevents Contamination

In most cases, tiny particles like dust, skin flakes, or microbes are found to damage sensitive products or ruin entire production batches. Thus, regular and intensive cleaning of cleanroom panels is essential to keep contamination at bay.

• Ensures Product Quality and Safety

Sterile conditions are crucial for industries such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, as contamination can compromise product purity and effectiveness.

• Maintains Compliance with Industry Standards

Regulatory bodies enforce strict cleanliness standards for cleanrooms. Proper hygiene ensures companies remain compliant, avoiding penalties or production shutdowns.

• Reduces Costly Production Losses

Contamination can lead to product recalls, equipment damage, and wasted manufacturing cycles. Maintaining cleanliness reduces such risks and increases efficiency.

• Protects Workers and the Environment

Proper sanitation practices ensure the safety of workers handling sensitive or hazardous materials and prevent environmental contamination.

How are Duramax PVC panels proven to be better than FRP panels to ensure hygiene? 

While cleaning and sanitization remain important aspects in cleanrooms, you can ensure enhanced hygiene and minimize cleaning efforts by installing Duramax PVC panels. These panels are made from high-quality 100% virgin vinyl. With rigorous quality tests, our panels are ASTM-certified. Our panels redefine hygiene with features unmatched by any other. 

Moisture resistance prevents dampness and mold growth

Duramax panels feature a non-porous and seamless surface that does not absorb moisture from the environment. As a result, they avoid dampness and rotting of the panels. Further, the panels have a crevice-free finish that eliminates the risk of mold and mildew buildup in the panels. 

Antibacterial coating eliminates contamination

PVC panels have an antibacterial coating. This eliminates the chances of bacterial and microbial infestation. Duramax panels are ideal for a cleanroom because of this coating and its antimold properties. 

Adheres to strict hygiene requirements 

Duramax PVC cleanroom panels meet the stringent hygiene standards. As a result, they are CFIA and FDA compliant. Installing PVC panels in cleanrooms helps maintain the ideal sanitary environment for seamless operations. 

The smooth surface is convenient to clean

Duramax panels interlock for a seamless and smooth finish. Plus, the panels are also stain-resistant. These factors make the cleaning and sanitization easy and time-effective. A simple wipe down using a damp cloth and mild detergent is enough to maintain a clean interior. Occasionally, you can also choose to pressure wash the panels using a garden hose. 

Other reasons that make Duramax worth the hype

Apart from hygiene compliance and ease of cleaning, other reasons make Duramax panels a worthy investment and superior to FRP. 

Easy to install

Contrary to FRP panels, Duramax PVC panels are lightweight and interlock using the tongue and groove mechanism. This makes the installation fast and simple with minimal effort. They are ½” thick and come with built-in backers, eliminating the need for additional backers. These panels directly attach to the walls with studs and fasteners, saving around 40% on material expenses. Plus, the convenience of installation makes it possible for a single person to install the panels effortlessly and save around 50% on labor costs. 

Virtually maintenance-free

While FRP panels require high maintenance, Duramax panels are low-maintenance due to their sturdy design. They are ½” thick and have a unique inner webbed truss design, ensuring unmatched durability. These panels do not crack or peel as they are exceptionally impact-resistant. They also do not dampen, rot, mold, fade, or discolor over the years, requiring minimal maintenance and preventing frequent repairs and replacements. As a result, they save significantly on upkeep expenses. 

Cost-effective

When cleanroom wall panels cost is considered, Duramax panels emerge as a cost-effective option compared to FRP panels. Although the initial investment is higher with PVC panels, they are a cost-effective option during both installation and maintenance. Plus, we deliver the panels nationwide at factory-direct prices, making them an affordable option. Plus, our panels have a shelf life of 100 years and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This, too, translates into savings as they do not need replacement for decades. 

Final Word: Duramax panels are guaranteed to last 4x times longer than FRP panels
