Microelectronics & Cleanroom
Why Microelectronics & Cleanroom Needs FRP
Semiconductor fabs demand materials that shed no particles, generate no static, and survive aggressive cleanroom chemicals. FRP grating — non-shedding, static-safe, chemically inert — protects yields in the world's most sensitive facilities.- Particle shedding contaminating wafers
- Static discharge damaging electronics
- Aggressive cleaning chemicals
- Corrosive process gases and exhaust

Technical Specifications & Compliance
Application-specific engineering reference for Microelectronics & Cleanroom — corrosion rating, load criteria, governing codes and the recommended ZeAllgrate configuration. Use this as the specification starting point; final design must be verified against certified load/span charts and the project's governing codes.
| Parameter | Specification for Microelectronics & Cleanroom |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Level | Medium Wet-bench chemicals, acid/soap vapors, and strict particle & ESD control requirements. |
| Typical Load Requirements | Sub-fab & process-tool platforms 50 psf (2.4 kN/m²) pedestrian; raised-floor equipment zones designed for tool point loads (chillers, pumps). |
| Applicable Standards & Regulations | SEMI (equipment & facilities guidelines), ISO 14644 (cleanroom), JEDEC (ESD/ESDS control), FDA 21 CFR (if medical-device fabs), OSHA 1910.132 (PPE) & 1910.22. |
| Recommended Resin System | ZeAll FDA smooth, non-shedding, low-extractable grade for cleanroom; ZeAll VE for wet-bench & chemical-delivery areas; ESD-managed (conductive) option where static control is specified. |
| Recommended Grating Type | Molded 38.1 mm smooth-top or solid covered panels in classified areas; Pultruded profiles in sub-fab/service corridors; Mini-Mesh avoided where particle shedding is a risk. |
Resin systems: ZeAll VE (vinyl ester — severe corrosion), ZeAll ISO (isophthalic polyester — general service), ZeAll FDA (food/potable grade), ZeAll FR (extra flame-retardant), Phenolic (fire/smoke-critical). Grating types: Molded (bi-directional), Pultruded (long-span), Mini-Mesh (fine openings), HLC (high-load capacity).
Cleanroom Service Requirements
| Requirement | ZeAllgrate Response |
|---|---|
| Non-conductive structure | FRP is inherently non-conductive; no earthing burden |
| Low particle shedding | Smooth covered surfaces where specified |
| Chemical storage areas | Vinyl ester for acid/etchant contact |
| Cleanability | Non-porous, wipe-clean panels; flush edges |
Specification Guidance
Cleanroom mezzanines and sub-fab walkways are specified for non-conductivity, low shedding and chemical resistance: smooth or covered surfaces on traffic decks, vinyl ester where etchants and acids store or flow, and the load table applied to the mezzanine grid with the deflection limit that keeps the deck stiff under vibration-sensitive tools. Coordinate the panel orientation and cut-outs on the fabrication drawing; the case library documents a cleanroom sub-floor installation.
