Class 100 Cleanroom Manufacturing
This tubing is produced in a certified Class 100 cleanroom environment, which limits airborne particles to 100 particles (0.5 microns or larger) per cubic foot. This level of cleanliness is essential for industries where even microscopic contamination can cause product defects or compliance failures. The manufacturing process uses barefoot resin—polyethylene produced without slip agents or additives that could transfer to sensitive products.
Industrial Applications
Class 100 cleanroom tubing serves critical roles across contamination-sensitive industries:
- Electronics Manufacturing: Packaging circuit boards, semiconductors, and sensitive electronic components that require static-dissipative environments
- Pharmaceutical Production: Wrapping medical devices, sterile supplies, and pharmaceutical equipment during manufacturing and distribution
- Laboratory Operations: Protecting analytical equipment, scientific instruments, and research samples from particulate contamination
- Medical Device Assembly: Packaging sterile components and sub-assemblies during clean manufacturing processes
- Aerospace Components: Protecting precision parts and instruments from contamination during storage and transport
Key Features
- 6 Mil Heavy-Duty Construction: Provides puncture resistance and durability for handling industrial components without tearing
- Plastic Core: Eliminates paper fiber contamination that can occur with cardboard cores—essential for cleanroom environments
- Double-Bagged Packaging: Each roll arrives sealed in two protective bags to maintain cleanliness from factory to your facility
- FDA Compliant Virgin Resin: Safe for food-contact applications and pharmaceutical packaging without additive migration concerns
- Custom Length Capability: Cut to any length needed for your specific product dimensions using standard heat sealers or impulse sealers
Tubing vs. Bags
Polyethylene tubing offers advantages over pre-made bags for operations packaging variable-length products. Simply cut the tubing to the exact length needed and seal both ends with an impulse sealer or heat sealer. This eliminates the need to stock multiple bag sizes and reduces packaging waste from oversized bags. The 8-inch width accommodates products up to approximately 5 inches in diameter or 4 inches wide when laid flat.
Storage Recommendations
Store cleanroom tubing in its original double-bagged packaging until ready for use. Keep rolls in a clean, climate-controlled environment away from dust, UV light, and temperature extremes. For best results, transfer rolls to your cleanroom anteroom before opening the outer bag, then bring into the cleanroom for final unwrapping.
