At first glance, paper and cleanrooms don't seem to be a love story. The paperless workplace is currently being discussed in many companies. In the cleanroom, however, it is a difficult undertaking to do without paper altogether.
In cleanroom operations, as in other HiTech manufacturing companies, there is a lively exchange of information. Information to employees, equipment manuals, personal notes, sketches and often also batch reports for the manufactured products - all this information is recorded and distributed on paper both internally and externally in the cleanroom.
Cellulose-containing materials, which include paper, release a considerable number of particles. For this reason alone, all alarm bells should ring when it comes to paper in the cleanroom. However, you do not have to do without manual documentation in the cleanroom if the quality is appropriate.
This paper removes the cutting dust from the cut edges. It can also be copied, written on and printed on. The papers should have sufficient tear and tear propagation resistance so that the edge is not destroyed by tearing and particles are not released during handling. For the semiconductor industry, it is important that only small quantities of ions are released from cleanroom papers, as these can be detrimental to the production process.
Additional protection is provided by special surfaces that bind particles to the surface through a weak electrostatic charge. In contrast, conventional paper, which emits massive amounts of particles, is unsuitable for use in cleanrooms.
Due to these high quality criteria, cleanroom paper is also used to separate certain products from each other if they are not allowed to lie on top of each other before, during or after production, such as silicon wafers. Here, the clean paper is often used as a separator sheet to protect the critical product surfaces and to absorb mechanical shocks during transportation.
Are essential for seamless recording - even on wet and cold surfaces. They are suitable for applications in critical areas and cleanrooms up to ISO class 5, packaged for cleanroom use and also available sterile (gamma-sterilized).
Pencils and crayons, ballpoint pens with an internal mechanism or rollerball pens are not suitable for the cleanroom, as they can release particles when the ink dries out. Pens without an internal mechanism have proven to be relatively low in particles and are often used in cleanrooms.

Realistic simulations and visualizations of activities make invisible connections visible. Learners experience their own impact in the cleanroom right in the middle of the action. They experience in-depth sensitization that becomes firmly anchored.
