Standard Lab Chairs versus Clean Room Specific

We break down the differences of an ordinary lab chair versus a clean room specific. But first, what is an ESD and Clean Room Specific Chair and why is it important?

ESD & Clean Room

ESD Specific Chair

Our ESD anti-static chairs are developed specifically for the handling of sensitive electronics. They feature proper grounding, conductive, and dissipative static control materials, and have been tested to meet ANSI/ESD-STM-12.1-2013.

They are designed to neutralize static build-up by providing proper grounding to prevent electrical discharges that can cause costly delays or damage in manufacturing environments. Our Electro-Static Dissipative chairs are a line of the defense supplied with conductive casters for static-safe rolling, or with ESD glides for stationary use.

All our ESD chairs are produced with static dissipative vinyl or fabric. The exposed metal surfaces are chrome plated. Our ESD chairs are available in desk, medium, or high bench heights. All come with an industry-leading 15-year warranty, and a lifetime warranty on the pneumatic cylinder.

These chairs should be used in any manufacturing or assembly settings such as medical and electronic industries where devices, instruments, or equipment can be damaged by unintended electrical discharges.

Clean Room Specific Chair

Our Clean Room chairs are designed for applications where the concentration of airborne particles must be kept below a desired level. These chairs feature antibacterial, mildew resistant vinyl that is easy to keep clean, or robust Polyurethane which is both chemical and puncture-resistant. They have been tested by independent laboratories to meet Fed Standard 209E and ISO 14644-1, which is now widely accepted as the industry standard for particulate requirements.

We offer Clean Room chairs that are certified for ISO Class 4 (Clean Room Class 10) and ISO Class 5 (Clean Room Class 100) standards. They are manufactured with filtered vents on the bottom of the seat that keep particles from going into the air. Our seat and backrest are sealed to maintain the clean quality of the chair. All the exposed metal surfaces are chrome plated. Clean Room chairs are available with either chrome-hooded casters or black glides.

These chairs all come with an industry-leading 15-year warranty and a lifetime warranty on the pneumatic cylinder. Available in 3 adjustable height ranges: desk, medium, or high bench heights in order to best suit the height of the work surface. In fields such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace, semi-conductor, medical device, and public health it is critical to keep particle emissions to an absolute minimum so these chairs are a must.

Class 100 (NCR) Chair

  • They are manufactured with filtered vents on the bottom of the seat that keep particles from going into the air. It is actually the same material as used on the now famous N95 masks.

  • Our seat and backrests are also sealed to maintain the clean quality of the chair.

  • Stainless Steel Staples are used on these chairs

  • Has the same controls as regular chairs

Class 10 (CLR) Chair

  • They are manufactured with filtered vents on the bottom of the seat that keep particles from going into the air. It is actually the same material as used on the now famous N95 masks.

  • Our seat and backrests are also sealed to maintain the clean quality of the chair.

  • Stainless Steel Staples are used on these chairs

  • Chrome Control for height adjustment

  • Manual back height and depth adjustments with knobs

  • Generally, for the Class 10 (CLR) Chair you do not have arms on the chairs or seat tilt adjustments
