Introduction
Color-coated steel panels, also known as color-coated sandwich panels or metal storage panels, are fundamental materials in the construction of cleanrooms and controlled environments. These panels are categorized into two main types based on manufacturing processes: mechanical panels and manual panels.
1. Types and Features
A. Mechanical Panels:
Mechanical sandwich panels are produced using automated machinery that creates them in one continuous process. The core is filled with materials like rock wool, polyurethane, or foam, while the edges feature interlocking connections. These panels are widely utilized for non-load-bearing internal walls, roofs, ceilings, and load-bearing wall panels in industrial cleanrooms, particularly in sectors such as electronics, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food processing.
B. Manual Panels:
Manual panels are crafted by hand and can utilize color-coated sheets, galvanized steel, or stainless steel for their surfaces. The core materials include inorganic substances (like magnesium boards and gypsum boards), rock wool, aluminum silicate cotton, and pearl cotton. These panels exhibit high strength, impact resistance, and ease of installation, making them suitable for high-tech electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries. Notably, manual panels have several advantages over mechanical ones:
- Enhanced strength, being 4 to 5 times stronger than ordinary mechanical panels due to internal reinforcement.
- Versatile applications, allowing various core materials to be used regardless of strength limitations.
While manual panels offer superior qualities, their complex manufacturing process results in higher costs.
2. Filling Materials
The filling materials for storage panels primarily include:
- Rock wool
- Paper honeycomb
- Aluminum honeycomb
- Polystyrene (foam board)
Static Electricity Considerations: Panels can be categorized based on their static electricity requirements—single-sided anti-static, double-sided anti-static, or non-anti-static—with price variations of approximately 5-8%. Non-anti-static panels are the least expensive, while double-sided anti-static panels are typically the most costly.
3. Installation Methods
A. Installation Steps:
- Clean the base surface of any dust, dirt, or residues.
- Follow a “bottom-up” installation process to minimize repairs and protect finished surfaces.
- Use matching adhesives at the seams.
- Clean the panel surfaces after installation.
B. Quality Requirements:
- Ensure vertical installation of wall panels and horizontal installation of ceiling panels.
- Maintain uniform seams and adequate sealant application.
- Avoid scratches on panel surfaces.
C. Construction Requirements:
- Familiarize with cleanroom layouts and panel specifications.
- Conduct secondary drafting for precise panel fabrication.
- Plan for gaps and installation allowances.
- Implement protective measures during transport and installation to avoid damage.
- Carefully align panel projections and ensure precision during installation.
