Top 5 Reasons to Use ACM Panels in Clean Room Applications
May 02, 2024
Aluminum composite material (ACM) panels offer many advantages when used in clean room wall and ceiling applications:
- Hygienic Surface: ACM panels typically have a non-porous surface, making them easy to clean and disinfect. The rigid panels minimize particle generation and prevent contaminants from infiltrating the clean room. In addition, panels are moisture, chemical, and corrosion-resistant which is important in clean room settings where cleaning agents and disinfectants are used to maintain sterility.
- Durable: ACM panels provide excellent rigidity, strength, and durability. Their construction prevents damage, scratches, and dents, ensuring long-term performance.
- Lightweight: ACM panels are lightweight compared to traditional building materials such as concrete or steel, making them easier to handle and faster to install.
- Customizable: ACM panels are available in a variety of colors, finishes, sizes, and thicknesses. Panels can be customized to suit the specific aesthetic and functional requirements of the clean room facility, such as providing thermal insulation to maintain stable temperature levels or providing sound insulation properties to reduce noise levels within the clean room.
- Fire Resistance: ACM panels with a Class A fire rating are designed to provide superior fire protection, which is crucial for maintaining safety in clean room environments where flammable materials may be present.
ACM panels such as Alumalite®, Omega-Bond®, and Thermolite™ are a perfect choice when designing clean rooms. Panels can be single or double-sided for modular or free-standing rooms and are easy to fabricate and install. In addition to providing the advantages above, the painted aluminum surface is warranted not to crack, chip, flake, or peel.
We can also manufacture custom composite panels utilizing other types of face materials or different core options to help you meet your specific clean room requirements. Our unique manufacturing process allows us to customize solutions just for you.
