About our optical thin-film coating clean room

optical thin film coating clean room

Our optical lens coating Cleanrooms maintain particulate-free air through the use of either HEPA or ULPA filters employing laminar or turbulent air flow principles. Laminar, or unidirectional, air flow systems direct filtered air downward in a constant stream. Laminar (unidirectional) air flow systems direct filtered air downward in a constant stream.

To maintain a consistent, unidirectional flow, these systems are typically installed across 100% of the ceiling area. You’ll commonly find laminar flow criteria applied in portable workstations (LF hoods), and it is a requirement in ISO-1 through ISO-4 classified cleanrooms.
