The latest cleanroom flooring solution from Gerflor, an international specialist in floorcoverings, is Mipolam Biocontrol Performance, which offers particle contamination control under ISO3 according to ISO14644-1 and meets ISO-AMCm Class 9.6 according to ISO14644-8. It has been treated with a special antistatic coating and is also chemically resistant. In addition, it offers resistance against heavy loads up to 5MPa or 500T/m2.
Mipolam Biocontrol Performance also complies with GMP Class A for micro-biological cleanliness and is said to offer good resistance to bio-decontamination procedures such as Bioquell's hydrogen vapour technology.
Also new in 2015 from Gerflor is GTI Control EL5, a fast renovation flooring solution for cleanrooms. This product is easy to install since it is loose laid and therefore does not require any glue; it is also easy to replace and repair, if necessary. It has been specifically designed for cleanrooms, offering a smooth surface, high resistance to chemicals and resistance to heavy traffic. It can also be hot welded to produce a watertight system. It offers static conductive properties if installed with a copper strip, the company says.
Gerflor's third new product for 2015 is a Clean Corner System for contamination control in cleanrooms. This is watertight, resistant and durable, easy to clean and decontaminate as therre are no acute angles and offers a clean, attractive and uniform finish.
All of the products were on display at ACHEMA in Frankfurt.
