Clean Room Wall Coverings: Powerhouse Plastics for the Healthcare Industry

Wall protection coverings are a critical component of health care facilities spanning patient rooms, laboratories, surgical/treatment areas, and clean rooms.

When you think of plastic solutions for the healthcare industry, what comes to mind? Vibrant emergency room signage? Device packaging? Medical enclosures?

While these are all valuable and critical medical applications, there are also less obvious — but equally valuable — applications.

Wall protection coverings are a critical component of health care facilities spanning patient rooms, laboratories, surgical/treatment areas, and clean rooms. These understated powerhouse plastics must stand up to bacteria, dust, required fire-rated specifications, and more, all while creating a pristine yet welcoming environment for patients and staff.

The plastic materials used in these wall coverings are typically made from high-quality, durable, and non-porous materials such as PVC/acrylic or fire-rated co-polyester, which are resistant to moisture, chemical agents, and microorganisms. This makes them ideal for use in clean rooms and other sterile environments.

In addition to their functional properties, wall coverings can provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. They come in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing for customization based on a facility’s specific needs and preferences. At Spartech, we understand that plastic products for clean room wall coverings are an important aspect of ensuring the cleanliness and sterility of pharmaceutical clean rooms and hospitals. That’s why we offer durable, versatile solutions that are both functional and visually appealing.

Pharmaceutical Clean Room Applications

Drug manufacturers create and package their products in sterile environments called pharmaceutical clean rooms. In recent years — especially because of the Covid-19 pandemic — we’ve seen a significant uptick in interest for pharmaceutical clean room wall protection materials.

Because dust and germs can settle in wall covering seams, most customers want to avoid seams as much as possible in their facilities. That can be a challenge when other manufacturers’ sheets only come in set sizes, giving customers little control over where the seams fall. Fortunately, Spartech offers custom-sized sheets to perfectly fit any room. We also offer a version of our product with antimicrobial properties.

Customer Relationships

Many of our customer and installer relationships span decades, based on mutual trust and shared vision and values. In addition to our products’ custom sizing and USA origins, these long-standing relationships continue to sustain and grow our business.
