Cleanroom products up to ISO Class 1

The cleanroom places particularly high demands on the abrasion resistance of moving components, because any contamination has a damaging effect on the product and process. That costs money. We develop and test our high-performance polymer products in our own cleanroom laboratory with the utmost care. In order to attest to the best possible suitability of our products in the cleanroom, these are subjected to further tests by the Fraunhofer Institute. This enables an IPA-tested product portfolio with the best possible cleanroom classification (ISO Class 1).

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.
