One of the largest, and fastest growing, plastics contract manufacturing markets is medical. It’s something that will always be needed, protecting it from economic trials and tribulations, and one of the biggest facets of this market is cleanroom molding.
Cleanliness and sanitation is a standard set by the contamination control industry. A government-determined specification is set (Federal Standard 209D) that requires them to follow a standardized method for measuring how clean the air in a cleanroom is. This means that manufacturers must adapt their processes and techniques to meet the cleanliness standards set by the government. Additionally, many of the medical product development companies have their own set of standards that must be adhered to.
When it comes to cleanroom molding, an HEPA Filter System is used to filter the air out of the room, and these systems must be checked regularly and thoroughly. Additionally, hoods can be installed over the machines and equipment, furthering the filtration process. Next, the operator who runs the press is required to wear personal protective equipment consisting of: Gloves, a gown, a mask, and foot covers. This ensures protection against contaminants that have the potential to come into contact with the parts being worked on and produced. Furthermore, the strict following of plans and procedures during the manufacturing process of any cleanroom-molded parts is required.
Because of everything that it involves, cleanroom molding weeds out the plastics manufacturing contracts companies who are looking to cut corners and just jump into the molding segment.
