2008 Product Catalogue - Chemical Protective Workwear - (Page 30) Microgard® 2000 Plus coveralls have been subjected to various tests* relevant to cleanroom clothing performance; including ISO 9073-10 (control of linting of textiles), EN13982-2 for inward leakage of particulates and a series of fabric filtration tests. With the information from these results and other relevant data it is possible for us to offer guidance on the suitability of Microgard® 2000 Plus by cleanroom class. However, suitability is also dependant on the cleanroom conditions and model features. For advice please contact Microgard. >0.1µm Static dissipative Key functions of cleanroom clothing Cleanrooms are highly specialized working areas used to protect products and processes, as well as personnel from being contaminated. A cleanroom is defined according to ISO 14644-1 (1999) as, “a room in which the number concentration of airborne particles is controlled, and which is constructed and used in a manner to minimize the introduction, generation and retention of particles inside the room and in which other relevant parameters, e.g. temperature, humidity and pressure Microgard® 2000 Plus Total Linting (Mean of both sides) ISO 14644-1 Class ISO Class 1 ISO Class 2 ISO Class 3 ISO Class 4 ISO Class 5 ISO Class 7 ISO Class 9 ISO Class 6 ISO Class 8 1,000,000 100,000 10,000 1000 100 10 Contamination Control - Microgard® 2000 Plus 237,000 >0.2µm 23,700 2,370 237 24 2 Maximum Number of Particles in Air (particles in each cubic metre equal to or greater than the specified size) Microgard® 2000 Plus Microgard® 2000 Plus ISO 14644-1 Class 1 Microgard® 2000 Plus suitability by cleanroom class >0.3µm • Approved Category III chemical protective clothing; - Type 4 Spray tight - Type 5 Particle protection - Type 6 Reduced spray tight • EN14126: 2003 barrier to infective agents • Meets the requirements of EN1149-1 • Safe for use in Ex-Zones.

Cleanrooms are used in many different industries, for instance, in microelectronics, pharmaceutical industry and the food and beverage industry. Cleanroom technology is also used when performing certain orthopaedic surgical operations. 102,000 10,200 1,020 102 10 Particle size 2 x 35,200,000 >0.5µm x 5,297 3 x 3,520,000 352,000 35,200 3,520 352 35 4 4 x x For a complete guide to Microgard® 2000 Plus cleanroom performance please contact Microgard Ltd or visit www.microgard.com *All tests conducted with standard unwashed and non-sterilised Microgard® 2000 Plus coveralls Protection of product and environment from contamination by personnel Protection of personnel from solid or liquid hazardous substances and biological agents US Federal Standard 209E • Bound seams and high particle barrier fabric reduce particle migration 8,320,000 5 x x >1µm 3,865 6 832,000 83,200 8,320 832 83 8 10,000 100,000 7 293,000 >5µm 292 8 29,300 2930 293 29 9 www.microgard.com 30 http://www.microgard.com/product1.asp?MYID=1 http://www.microgard.com/index.asp
