Cleanrooms need to maintain the highest level of hygiene and cleanliness to ensure the quality of the product remains intact. Widely used in the food and drug industry, cleanrooms need to keep a damp and mold-free interior for seamless operations. Duramax PVC cleanroom wall panels are the go-to solution, featuring a non-porous, moisture-resistant, anti-mold surface. Further, with unmatched durability and longevity, these panels minimize the upkeep and repair needs. Here’s how you can ensure a hygienic cleanroom environment with PVC paneling:

Reasons behind cleanroom contamination

Although human intervention accounts for most contamination in cleanroom interiors, other factors also play a notable role. Humidity is one such factor that contributes to dampness and mold growth. Uncontrolled moisture exposure leads to severe threats of moisture absorption and mildew buildup. PVC cleanroom wall panels, with their moisture resistance and durability, make for a reliable solution. The non-porous, seamless surface does not absorb or retain moisture, eliminating the risk of damp patches and contamination. Plus, PVC panels also come with an antibacterial coating to prevent bacterial or microbial infestation.

Excessive moisture! Not an issue with PVC panels 

Duramax PVC panels are inherently moisture-resistant. These panels remain unaffected by humid conditions and ensure a contamination-free environment in the cleanroom. The waterproof nature makes cleaning easy and convenient, eliminating the risk of damage from water exposure. Being resistant to moisture, these panels do not become a breeding ground for mold and mildew. 

Seamlessly meets hygiene requirements

Duramax cleanroom panels adhere to the hygiene and safety standards. They are CFIA and FDA compliant. Plus, these panels are Class 1 fire-resistant and can withstand an hour of fire and flame. These panels do not deteriorate, nor do they release toxic gases when exposed to fire. Further, these panels remain unaffected by chemical spills, eliminating the risk of damage or rotting. 

Cleaning takes minimal time and effort

The smooth and crevice-free surface of PVC panels makes cleaning convenient. They do not need rigorous scrubbing as they are stain-resistant. A normal wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent is enough to maintain a clean surface. Occasionally, a pressure wash using a garden hose is also effective in cleaning the cleanroom PVC panels, saving on resources, time, and expensive cleaning procedures. 

Durability and longevity make it worthy

PVC panels are ½” thick and have a unique inner webbed truss design. This design makes them exceptionally durable and sturdy enough to withstand attic insulation loads without falling apart. They do not crack, peel, fade, or discolor over the years. Plus, they have a shelf life of 100 years, backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Duramax. 

Virtually maintenance-free 

Being extremely durable, these panels are impact-resistant and require minimal upkeep. These panels are not damaged from everyday operation and remain functional for decades. Thus, they do not require frequent repairs and replacements, helping to save significantly on upkeep expenses. This ease of maintenance and minimal need for repairs minimizes disruptions to normal operations. 

Cost-effective and affordable 

Last but not least, Duramax PVC panels offer a cost-effective alternative to conventional wall panels. These panels save on installation, maintenance, and cleaning costs, making them cost-effective. Plus, when you shop from Duramax, you pay factory-direct prices for the panels, ensuring affordability in terms of cleanroom wall panels cost. 

How Duramax Cleanroom Wall Panels Transformed a Pharmaceutical Facility?

The client was facing severe challenges in maintaining hygiene and environmental control in their existing cleanroom. Traditional drywall surfaces absorbed moisture, developed microcracks, and became difficult to sanitize, posing contamination risks. Routine maintenance and repainting led to downtime, increased costs, and compliance concerns with FDA cleanroom standards.

Duramax panels emerged as the ideal solution

Duramax provided a complete wall upgrade solution with 100% virgin vinyl panels. Designed for sterile environments, these panels feature a non-porous, smooth surface that prevents bacterial growth and resists moisture. The panels are ASTM-certified and CFIA- and FDA-compliant, ensuring full compliance with pharmaceutical hygiene requirements.

We installed the panels directly over the existing structure, minimizing renovation time and disruption. Their tongue-and-groove interlocking design ensured a seamless, airtight finish, critical for maintaining positive pressure and preventing particle infiltration.
