Terra's Softwall Modular Cleanrooms provide an economical, versatile solution to clean manufacturing requirements in semiconductor, medical device, and many other industries.
Portable, expandable, and easy to assemble/disassemble, these cleanrooms are also available on an accelerated delivery program to meet your tight production schedule!
Unlike other modular cleanrooms on the market which require complex suspended ceiling supports, Terra cleanrooms are completely free-standing structures.
Softwall Support Frame
The support frame is fabricated of interlocking 2.5" powder-coated square steel uprights, cross sections, and ceiling members. Ceiling members are welded to steel T-bars, forming the 2' x 4' bays that support filters and lights.
Corner reinforcement gussets ensure a rigid structure. Optional heavy-duty casters allow easy repositioning after installation. Standard height is 7' measured from filter face to floor (8' 3" overall), allowing installation below a standard 9' ceiling.
Note: Walls over 8' long require an additional vertical support member.
Softwall Curtains & Strip Shields
Softwall panels are fabricated of heavy-duty, blur-free 40 mil material--double the industry standard--ensuring enhanced tear resistance and eliminating the need for unsightly sewn sash weights. Strip shields, made of 60-mil material, come standard in 8" widths, with 2" overlap, for easy entrance or exiting. Polyurethane shields are 12"W, 40 mil thick.
Curtains and strips are available in three materials, in either clear or frosted appearance. Click here for ordering information.

Cleanroom-Grade Vinyl is fire retardant and low outgassing.
Static-Dissipative Vinyl is manufactured with permanent built-in static inhibitors that, unlike topical treatments, will not wear off.
Non-outgassing Panels are made from inherently static-dissipative polyurethane that provides permanent, humidity-independent ESD protection for sensitive manufacturing conditions. Polyurethane contains no plasticizer, making it virtually non-outgassing.
Softwall panels and strip shields attach to the support frame by means of a unique noncontaminating Grip-Track™ mounting system that eliminates cracks and seams where germs or particles can collect. Other mounting systems are available.
Note: Softwall curtains are notched to ensure a snug fit at all corners. In standard installations, curtains are supplied in lengths of four feet. Where two curtains join, the curtain panels overlap by 6". To prevent personnel from parting curtains at these seams, order optional curtain seaming, Dual-Lock Velcro®, magnetic closures, or attachment clips below.
Strip Doors
Strip shields can be ordered in convenient widths to create access doors for softwall or hardwall cleanrooms. By alternating strips of clear vinyl with frosted vinyl, you eliminate both sticking and air gaps, creating entrances that are cleaner and easier to walk through.
Note: Strip doors are free-hanging--standard installations do not include attachment of the two sides to adjacent curtains or frame.

Softwall Curtains and Strip Shields
Curtain material is 40-mil thick, clear PVC (anti-static PVC and polyurethane curtains also available). For access doors, select alternating clear and frosted strip shields, which eliminate cling for easy parting.
For 7'-high cleanroom, curtain length of 6'6" is recommended to allow adequate air exhausting. See formula on below for more information.
