Decontamination Cleanroom garments require special decontamination processes. The difference to normal cleaning methods is that mechanical friction is minimized to protect the fabric. The low-particle is achieved through special washing processes. The first natural wear out* of the garments can already occur after 100 wash cycles, in spite of optimal decontamination. If in addition to mechanical wear stress and decontamination, a sterilization treatment is also added, the life cycle of the garments decreases to approx. 70 washes. *Because there are currently no recognized testing procedures for determining resistance to aging, we can only provide non-binding experiential values. close window
