Why cleanroom suitable adhesive tapes?
If you use standard adhesive tapes, for example from a DIY shop, you could bring unknown contamination into your cleanroom. Cleanroom adhesive tape however is manufactured from high – grade material and cleaned twice, packaged and controlled in a cleanroom so that the particle emission is significantly reduced.
A renowned manufacturer has compared his cleanroom adhesive tape for particle emission with a common adhesive tape.
The following values were determined.
