Cleanroom Sandwich Panel VS Ordinary Insulation Panel
Fundamental Design Difference Between Cleanroom Sandwich Panel and Ordinary Insulation Panel Cleanroom sandwich panel is specially engineered for controlled clean environments, while ordinary insulation panel is designed only for thermal insulation of conventional buildings. The design objectives determine all performance gaps between cleanroom sandwich panel and ordinary insulation panel.
Cleanroom sandwich panel adopts high-density compact metal facing. The surface of cleanroom sandwich panel is seamless, non-porous and specially treated. This design prevents dust adhesion, particle shedding and chemical corrosion. Every production link of cleanroom sandwich panel is controlled to reduce particulate contamination. Ordinary insulation panel only focuses on heat preservation. The surface of ordinary insulation panel is often rough, with tiny pores and weak coating. The core material of ordinary insulation panel may release dust and fine debris when impacted or rubbed. Even if ordinary insulation panel has similar thermal insulation effect, it cannot meet the basic cleanliness requirement of clean zones.
? Core Material & Particle Emission Comparison The core selection standard of cleanroom sandwich panel is strict. Cleanroom sandwich panel core must keep low particle shedding, stable structure and fixed fire performance. Rockwool, MGO and PIR for cleanroom sandwich panel are screened specially for purification use. The core inside qualified cleanroom sandwich panel will not powder or drop fine particles under normal use.
Ordinary insulation panel uses cheap foam or low-grade mineral wool core. Such core material is easy to pulverize. Once cut or collided, plenty of fine particles will escape from ordinary insulation panel. If ordinary insulation panel is used in pharmaceutical GMP workshops or electronic dust-free workshops, the particles released by ordinary insulation panel will pollute products, trigger cleanliness test failure and stop production. Even if the fire rating of ordinary insulation panel looks acceptable, it still cannot substitute cleanroom sandwich panel for purification construction. SAMZOON cleanroom sandwich panel strictly controls particle emission of core material during production, which is the key advantage of SAMZOON cleanroom sandwich panel.
? Application Scenarios & Acceptance Standard Difference Cleanroom sandwich panel serves as wall and ceiling material for hospital operating rooms, pharmaceutical GMP workshops, electronic SMT dust-free workshops, food packaging clean rooms and laboratories. These projects have strict third-party acceptance standards. Cleanroom sandwich panel must pass particle concentration test, microbial test and fire inspection.
Ordinary insulation panel is widely used in common warehouses, simple workshops and residential building thermal preservation. There is no requirement for low particle emission or anti-bacterial property for ordinary insulation panel. Many purification contractors mistakenly try to adopt ordinary insulation panel to cut material budget. This choice will lead to serious consequence: the whole purification project fails inspection and needs full rework. The rework cost of replacing ordinary insulation panel with qualified cleanroom sandwich panel is extremely high.
? Lifespan & Comprehensive Cost Analysis At first glance, ordinary insulation panel has lower purchasing price than cleanroom sandwich panel. But ordinary insulation panel has short service life and poor anti-corrosion property. After 2 to 3 years, ordinary insulation panel may have coating peeling, core powdering and deformation.
SAMZOON cleanroom sandwich panel has stable coating and tightly bonded core. The service life of SAMZOON cleanroom sandwich panel is far longer than ordinary insulation panel. For long-run operation of clean factories, SAMZOON cleanroom sandwich panel brings lower maintenance cost and avoids rework risk. As Foshan source factory, SAMZOON provides free cleanroom sandwich panel samples for customers to compare with ordinary insulation panel, and offers construction technical guidance of cleanroom sandwich panel.
