The application prospects of cleanroom apparel in the industry are very broad, especially in fields such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, precision instruments, and food. Cleanroom garments have become indispensable protective equipment.

The role of cleanroom apparel: it is a necessary measure for personnel entering a cleanroom to ensure normal operation and reduce human dust emissions.Cleanroom garments play a crucial role, so there should be a correct understanding and method for material selection, design, and style selection of cleanroom garments.

Material selection: Common cleanroom garments fabrics include polyester fiber, nylon, anti-static fibers, etc. The materials should be selected with minimal or no dust, no pilling, no shedding, strong anti-static properties, strong barrier protection, and good breathability.

The performance requirements for cleanroom garments are as follows:(1)Fibers that are not prone to dusting, falling off, or breaking should be used.

(2)A good filtering effect should prevent the spread of dandruff, scalp, etc., outward through the fabric.

(3)Conductive materials with anti-static properties should be utilized, which are not prone to adhering to dust particles.

(4)Materials that are comfortable, breathable, non-stuffy, and easy to move in should be selected.

(5)The material should have durability to withstand sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius and repeated washing.

Qualified cleanroom garments should exhibit five performance characteristics: cleanliness, barrier protection, breathability, anti-static properties, durability, and comfort.

(1) Cleanliness of Cleanroom apparel

The fabric of ordinary cleanroom garments is prone to dust and fiber loss, and is prone to problems such as excessive thread ends, tying at joints, and skipping. Excellent cleanroom garments should avoid dust production and shedding as much as possible, using high-quality polyester filament fabric, combined with professional detail design and edge wrapping, thread processing, etc., to reduce dust production and fiber shedding during wearing, washing, and sterilization processes.

(2) Barrier properties of Cleanroom apparel

As is well known, humans are the biggest source of pollution in clean areas, and during their activities, they produce a large amount of dandruff, dandruff, and microorganisms.

An excellent cleanroom garments fabric with fine warp and weft, high weaving density, and tightly wrapped style design can effectively block pollutants generated by the human body from entering the clean area.

(3) Anti static performance of Cleanroom apparel

Anti static performance is one of the most important performance indicators for cleanroom garments. Embedding conductive wires into the fabric can quickly dissipate the static electricity generated during the friction process of cleanroom garments, without adsorbing suspended particles in the air and contaminating the operating area. The higher the density of conductive wire, the stronger the anti-static performance, but the material cost will also be higher.

(4) Durability of Cleanroom apparel

Excellent cleanroom garments should have excellent durability. During our use, cleanroom garments needs to undergo repeated washing and high-temperature sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius, and its cleanliness will gradually decrease. Excellent cleanroom garments should have solid materials, excellent workmanship, lower degradation rate of cleanliness performance, reduced frequency of clothing replacement, extended clothing service life, and reduced company production costs.

(5) Comfort

Excellent cleanroom garments should be soft and skin friendly, with good breathability and ergonomic design. When personnel wear clean clothes to work, they move freely and smoothly, and there is no sense of restraint even when worn for a long time.

Design of Cleanroom apparel

The main purpose of cleanroom garments is to prevent particles and microorganisms from being released from the wearer’s body and polluting the environment.

In terms of style design, it is required to avoid dust accumulation, including reducing wrinkles in clothes; Reduce unnecessary accessories (such as pockets and pencil cases), and do not cover the back if there is a pencil case; The style design should not be too loose, which can reduce clothing friction and reduce hair dust; The cuffs should not adsorb or shed pollutants, and static charges should not accumulate.

Considering the comfort of the wearer, the fabric is required to be breathable and able to expel moisture from the human body. Other design parameters that should be considered include: zipper material, waist rope position and adjustment function, collar form, hat form and adjustment function, etc. Considering the comfort of the wearer, the fabric is required to be breathable and able to expel moisture from the human body. Other design parameters that should be considered include: zipper material, waist rope position and adjustment function, collar form, hat form and adjustment function, etc.

The style of cleanroom garments

Cleanroom garments styles can be divided into three categories: Coverall (without hood, hooded, hooded and socks attached), two-piece suit, and frock.

1.Coverall Watch our official YouTube videos here

2-in-1（coat and pants attached), 3-in-1(hood, coat and pants attached), or 4-in-1(hood, coat, pants and socks attached) coverall is suitable for A/B and C level clean areas in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, we focus on introducing Gaible’s 3-in-1 coverall.

This style is: coat and pants attached, hooded, with a front zipper that allows for free waist retraction. The cuffs are elastic with a pull loop, and the ankle is flat with hidden buttons. It can be paired with cleanroom boots, shoes (socks), high tube shoe covers, protective goggles, masks, gloves, and bags.

This coverall has three innovative designs.

(1) The hood is connected to the sleeves and back with snap fasteners to prevent the clothes from touching the ground too long during changing, which can cause the outer surface of the clothes to come into contact with the ground and reduce the risk of contamination.

(2) The foot opening is designed with a flat swing buckle, which can fix the foot opening and facilitate changing clothes. There are buttons connected to the ankles and calves. When folding clothes, the buttons are fastened and the pants legs are turned outward. On the one hand, it is convenient to grab the outer surface of the pants legs when changing clothes, and on the other hand, it avoids the clothes from touching the ground too long during changing clothes, which can cause the outer surface of the clean clothes to come into contact with the ground, reducing the risk of pollution.

(3) Pull ring

The design of the pull tab is to fix the position of the cuffs and prevent them from jumping up during large movements, resulting in skin exposure and reducing the risk of contamination.

The difference between a 4-in-1 coverall and a 3-in-1 coverall lies in the connection of pantyhose. In the early days, pharmaceutical companies often used 4-in-1 style, believing that it had good dust and bacteria prevention effects. However, it was inconvenient to work, and when bending down, there was a feeling of being pulled on the back, which made employees feel uncomfortable. It is recommended to use 3-in-1 coverall.

2.Two-piece suit

Two-piece suit is suitable for pharmaceutical industry Class C or Class D.

Gaible has a variety of styles of two-piece suit, including pullover style (hooded), zippered (hooded), stand-up collar zippered (not hooded), and lapel collar zippered  (not hooded）

3. Choose a frock in the CNC area

The style of Gaible frock is: suit collar, button style, two square pockets, no waist elastic, used for simple protection or visiting.

Have you gained some understanding of cleanroom garments now? The importance of cleanroom garments cannot be ignored. Only by truly understanding the characteristics of the garments can we better and more comprehensively choose excellent cleanroom garments, which can provide a safe and clean working environment, ensuring employee health and product safety.
