Cleanroom products up to ISO Class 1
The cleanroom places particularly high demands on the abrasion resistance of moving components. Any contamination has a damaging effect on the product and process. That costs money. igus® develops and tests their high-performance polymer products in their own cleanroom laboratory with the utmost care. In order to attest to the best possible suitability of our products in the cleanroom, these cleanroom products are subjected to further tests by the Fraunhofer Institute. Thanks to this testing, igus® is able to provide an IPA-tested product portfolio with the best possible cleanroom classification (ISO Class 1).

Rapid cleanroom product development
in accordance with ISO 14644-14
In order to be able to develop new motion plastics that are suitable for use in cleanrooms, the Fraunhofer IPA, working as a development and certification partner on behalf of igus, has designed and built a tailor-made cleanroom laboratory with an ISO Class 1 cleanroom system in Cologne.
In the new laboratory, we can carry out customer tests and new developments in advance under real conditions within a very short time.

FAQ
Do the cleanroom products meet the increasing demands?
Since the quality requirements for cleanroom technology applications as well as those on the part of the customers and test standards are constantly growing, igus® is continuously working on improving its products. For this purpose, igus has been carrying out tests for cleanroom suitability in its own test laboratory since 1997. In addition, appropriate products are tested externally by the Fraunhofer Institute.
