A Complete Guide to Cleanroom Ceiling Panels: Specifications, Features & Applications

Cleanroom environments demand precision-engineered components that ensure contamination control, durability, and safety. One of the most critical elements in such controlled environments is the Cleanroom Ceiling Panels system. Whether you're building facilities for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, or healthcare, the right ceiling panels contribute significantly to maintaining sterility and structural reliability.

What Are Cleanroom Ceiling Panels?

Cleanroom Ceiling Panels are modular components designed specifically for cleanroom environments to provide a sealed, hygienic, and load-bearing overhead structure. These panels can be configured as walkable or non-walkable, based on the cleanroom’s operational requirements.

Key Technical Features

1. Panel Construction

The ceiling panels are manufactured using a dual-skin system:

• Material Options: Powder-coated galvanized iron (PCGI), pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI), and stainless steel.

• Standard Width: 1200 mm

• Length: Customizable as per layout requirements.

2. Surface & Finishes

• Sheet Thickness Options: 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, and 0.8 mm

• Powder Coating Thickness: 60–80 microns

• Pre-Coating Thickness: 30–35 microns

• Color Options: Standard RAL 9002, with custom colors available on request.

3. Core Insulation

• PUF: 40 ± 2 kg/m³

• PIR: 48 ± 2 kg/m³

• Rockwool: 96–144 kg/m³ These insulation options provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance along with fire resistance.

  
  

Installation & Structural Support

Load Capacity

• Cleanroom ceiling panels are engineered to support a load range of 75 to 250 kg/m², making them suitable for both walkable and non-walkable configurations.

Suspension System

• Panels are supported using wall panels and suspension rods with adjustable turnbuckles, anchored securely to the slab for stability.

Sealing & Hygiene

• Panels are sealed with food-grade silicone on both sides, ensuring air-tightness and preventing microbial growth. The sealing gap is controlled to be less than 4 mm, maintaining cleanroom standards.

Design Flexibility

• Panel Thickness Options: 35 mm, 50 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm

• Panel Types: Available in both progressive and non-progressive configurations for easy installation and maintenance.

• Cutouts for Utilities: Pre-engineered cutouts for HVAC systems and electricals can be provided with C-type flashing, ensuring seamless integration.

Applications of Cleanroom Ceiling Panels

These ceiling systems are ideal for:

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing units

• Biotechnology labs

• Microelectronics fabrication facilities

• Medical device production areas

• Research and healthcare environments

Final Thoughts

Cleanroom Ceiling Panels are not just structural elements—they are crucial to maintaining the controlled environment your facility demands. By selecting high-quality materials, customizable specifications, and ensuring professional installation, you can achieve superior performance, hygiene, and safety in your cleanroom.

Whether you're retrofitting an existing cleanroom or planning a new one, investing in the right ceiling panel system will pay off in performance, durability, and compliance.
