Everything You Need to Know About Cleanroom Ceiling Panels: Specifications, Structure & Performance

When it comes to maintaining sterile and contaminant-free environments in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, healthcare, and electronics, the right infrastructure plays a critical role. One such essential component is the Cleanroom Ceiling Panel. Designed for both walk-on and non-walk-on applications, these panels are engineered to provide superior structural integrity, insulation, and hygienic finishes.

Technical Overview of Cleanroom Ceiling Panels

1. Panel Construction & Materials Cleanroom ceiling panels are manufactured using high-grade powder-coated GI (Galvanized Iron), pre-painted GI (PPGI), and stainless steel sheets on both sides. The core is filled with high-performance insulating material, tailored to meet specific cleanroom requirements.

• Outer Skin Options:

  • PCGI / PCGI (GPSP)

  • PPGI / PPGI

  • Stainless Steel

• Sheet Thickness Options:

  • 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm

• Panel Width: 1200 mm

• Panel Length: As per design layout

2. Coating & Surface Finish

• Powder Coating Thickness: 60–80 microns

• Pre-Coating Thickness: 30–35 microns

• Standard color: RAL 9002

• Other colors: Available as per RAL chart

3. Core Insulation Materials

• PUF: 40 ±2 kg/m³

• PIR: 48 ±2 kg/m³

• Rockwool: 96–144 kg/m³

These high-density materials not only ensure excellent thermal insulation but also provide soundproofing and fire resistance.

4. Panel Thickness Options

• 35 mm

• 50 mm

• 80 mm

• 100 mm

5. Load Bearing Capacity These ceiling panels are robust, with a load-bearing capacity ranging from 75 to 250 kg/m², making them suitable for walkable applications where maintenance personnel need access to service areas above.

Structural Features and Installation

• Support System: Mounted on wall panels and suspended using adjustable rods with turnbuckles anchored into the slab.

• Sealing: Food-grade silicone sealant is used on both sides to ensure an airtight, contamination-free environment. Panel gaps are maintained at less than 4 mm.

• Cutout Provisions: Custom cutouts with C-type flashing can be provided for HVAC and electrical fittings.

• Panel Types: Available in Progressive and Non-Progressive formats to suit different construction and maintenance preferences.

Why Cleanroom Ceiling Panels Are Essential

Whether it’s a sterile pharmaceutical production area or a precision-driven electronics assembly space, cleanroom ceiling panels provide the structural and hygienic foundation necessary for compliance with industry regulations. Their modular design, high load capacity, and adaptable finishes make them an ideal choice for cleanroom construction projects across various industries.
