Cleanroom garments are a special type of protective clothing for environments in which minimizing contamination from dust particles, microorganisms and other impurities is essential. These garments are used in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, microelectronics and other areas where it is important to maintain a high level of cleanliness in production and research facilities.

Basic characteristics of cleanroom garments (German translation: Reinraumbekleidung):

• Material: Cleanroom garments are made from special materials that can effectively filter particles and prevent them from spreading in a cleanroom. These materials often have antistatic properties to prevent the accumulation of dust particles and pollutants.
• Design: The clothing must fit the body tightly, have as few seams as possible and cover as much of the body surface as possible. This can include suits, gowns, hoods (German: Hauben), face masks, protective goggles, gloves and shoe covers.
• Functionality: This protective clothing is designed to minimize the risk of contamination and offer a high level of comfort even when worn for long periods. It provides sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating and maintain working comfort.
• Reuse and disposal: Some elements of protective clothing are designed to be reused and can be sterilized, while other garments are disposable (translation into German: Einwegartikel) and must be disposed of after use in accordance with established procedures.

As the name suggests, cleanroom garments are used in cleanrooms and therefore in a variety of areas:

• Pharmaceutical production: Drug manufacture under aseptic conditions
• Microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing: Production of sensitive electronic components which can even be damaged by microscopically small particles
• Biotechnology and research laboratories: Working with samples and cultures where contamination must be ruled out
• Food and cosmetics industry: Compliance with high hygiene standards in the production areas

Cleanroom garments are a key element in contamination control and ensure the necessary level of cleanliness to safeguard the quality of products and research results.
