Plascore PharmaTM Cleanroom System Superior Quality, Unmatched Flexibility
The Plascore PharmaTM series of cleanroom wall and ceiling systems is designed for the most stringent medical research and aseptic process applications. Plascore Pharma is the modular cleanroom of choice in biomed, life science, biotech, medical device, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical processing.
Plascore Pharma modular wall and ceiling systems offer significant financial and performance advantages over traditional clean facility solutions.
A Complete System One of the greatest advantages of the Plascore Pharma design is its floating flush ceiling with 5' x 10' x 2" (1.5m x 3m x 51mm) ceiling panels and 5' x 10' (1.5m x 3m) hanger spacing, allowing the installation of 4' (1.2m) fixtures, oriented in either direction, without changing the ceiling panel orientation. Three modular wall types — studless walls, hollow utility walls and liner panels — provide the same flexibility, fine-line seams and finishes as the ceiling system. Several types of flush doors and windows, as well as access openings, can be integrated. Plascore Pharma arrives at a prepared job site with all components clean packaged and ready for fast installation.
Features Summary:
• Versatile system configurations
• Built to drawing layout; minimal alterations required
• Flush ceiling system with wide hanger spacing
• Studless, utility and liner wall options
• Aluminum honeycomb panel core for greater stiffness and fire resistance
• Progressive or nonprogressive panel joints
• Multiple door and hardware options

Liner, Studless and Utility Wall Systems
Plascore Pharma wall systems are offered in three designs to address typical site and functional requirements:
Liner Wall System Liner wall panels are 0.5" (13mm) thick and are attached to existing facility walls, or metal stud wall framing, to give them the same finish and appearance as adjoining new construction.
Plascore Pharma liner wall panels have rolled-edge top and bottom steel or aluminum skins bonded to an alumi-num honeycomb core for a total thickness of 0.5" (13mm).
Panels snap into clips mounted to the wall system. Panel dimensions are limited to 4' (1.2m) in width and 16' (4.85m) in length. Wall heights can be as high as desired by stacking multiple panels.
Studless Wall System Studless walls are 2" (51mm) thick and typically serve as perimeter, interior and air return walls with requirements for utility raceways and conduits. Studless wall panels are typically installed below the ceiling system.
Plascore Pharma studless wall panels consist of rolled-edge top and bottom steel or aluminum skins bonded to an aluminum honeycomb core for a total thickness of 2" (51mm).
An aluminum perimeter frame is bonded between the skins to provide additional support, and provide UL approved raceways for items such as light switches and electrical outlets. Progressive studless wall panel edges are tightly engaged to adjoining panels with a fixed plastic spline.
Studless wall panels are typically interior non load-bearing partitions, 4' (1.2m) wide and are installed between the floor and ceiling. Although studless wall panels are available up to 16' (4.85m) in length, they can be stacked with intermediate support from adjoining walls or ceilings.

CEILING SYSTEM
Utility Wall System Utility walls are between 4" and 6" (102mm and 152mm) thick, with a 2.5" to 4.5" (63.5mm to 114mm) hollow cavity for verti-cal and horizontal utility runs.
This superior load bearing system is ideal for taller rooms or walls with extensive utility provisions. Available in virtually any configuration, the modular framed design easily adapts to windows, pass thrus and doors. Plascore Pharma utility walls consist of internal vertical and horizontal structural framing to which panels are attached on either one or both sides. Utility walls in room interiors will be clad on both sides. Perimeter utility walls may only be clad on the room interior side. Panel orientation may be vertical or horizontal to match the intended utility access scheme. Panel dimen-sions are available up to 4' (1.2m) in width and 16' (4.85m) in length. Utility walls can be designed to be load-bearing with wall heights as high as desired, by adjusting the structural framing and stacking multiple panels.
Panels have rolled-edge top and bottom steel or aluminum skins bonded to an aluminum honeycomb core for a total thickness of .5" (12.5mm). Panels snap into clips mounted on the framing and are nonprogressive, which is necessary for ready access to utility connections.

Built-to-print, Plascore Pharma is designed for all cleanroom classifications in life science research and production.
Connecting Floor, Wall and Ceiling
Studless Wall Adjustable Floor Track The adjustable studless wall floor track consists of a two-part aluminum extrusion assembly. The lower part is attached to the floor and accepts the upper part, which is raised and leveled to the desired height. The adjustment range is 3.5"-5.5" (89mm-140mm). The floor track width facili-tates a floor cove installation flush with the wall panel, with either vinyl or trowelled floors.
Studless Wall Head Track The studless wall head track consists of a U-shaped track, which is attached to the underside of the ceiling panel system or customer’s existing ceiling. Sliding the top panel edge up into the head track and dropping it down onto the floor track secures the panel in position.
Radius Coves All wall systems are supplied with a 2" (50mm) radius coving for all ceiling/wall and wall/wall intersections, assuring a virtually seamless transition. Plascore offers an integrated injected molded inside and outside cove for seamless transitions. It’s one more reason Plascore Pharma helps you meet cGMP standards for pharmaceutical and biomedical environments.
Superior Panel Finishes: uPVC, Stainless Steel Plascore Pharma wall and ceiling panels are available with standard snow white uPVC film or brushed stainless steel.
Plascore Pharma surfaces perform well against typical cleaning solutions and sanitizing washes. Tightly abutting uPVC panel joints are chemically cold-welded with a uPVC paste, creating a contiguous uPVC finish on ceiling and wall surfaces. Alternately, stainless steel panel joints are spaced 3/16" (4.76mm) and filled with a silicone caulk. Coved uPVC corners eliminate entrapment and are more effective in wash down, sanitation and fumigation.
Repairs Plascore Pharma offers multiple options to repair panel damage.
Load bearing framed walls have ample room for utilities.
Non-progresive panels feature rotating splines for easy room modifications.

Cleanroom Doors To Suit Your Needs
If you can see it, you can clean it: Plascore Pharma doors and windows feature easily cleaned hardware.
Plascore Pharma offers two lines of single and double cleanroom door types designed specifically for pharmaceutical environments.
Aluminum Profile Doors Crafted in custom aluminum extrusions with double perimeter seals and optional door bottom drop seal, this Plascore Pharma door design features a flush jamb and leaf assembly. Available with upper and optional lower flush glazing and finished with an epoxy powder coat for maximum durability and chemical resis-tance, this door style is the most economical solution for less strin-gent classification areas. Installation into any of Plascore Pharma wall systems, with at least one side of the door frame and door leaf being flush with the adjoining wall surfaces, is readily accom-plished utilizing one of Plascore’s proprietary fastening methods.
Stainless Steel/Powder Coated Metal Doors Door frames and leafs are clad in stainless sheet metal; for the most damage- and chemical-resistant performance. Door faces are laminated to a honeycomb core for structural stiffness, provid-ing the most monolithic design without seams and ledges, flush with at least one surface of adjoining walls. Windows can be sized up to 50% of the door surface, flush with both leaf surfaces. This leaf design is well suited to allow air passage around its perimeter.
This style is also available with a powder coated aluminum skin.
Door Hardware Plascore Pharma doors can be delivered with most standard mortised or surface mounted hardware to meet customer require-ments. Surface mounted hardware is preferred for easy access, adjustment and cleaning. Cleanroom door hardware can be provided to meet your specific needs and functions:
• Stainless steel push/pull bars
• Mortised door locksets and strikes, with door handles or magnetic interlock
• Surface mounted door closers
• Surface mounted electric door operators
• Internal double door extension bolts
Flush Double Glazed Cleanroom Windows Plascore Pharma window units for doors and studless walls consist of two panes of 1/4" (6.4mm) tempered glass, bonded and sealed to an aluminum frame filled with desiccant to reduce moisture. Windows have the same thickness as the door/wall, providing a flush installation. Window units are replaceable in nonprogressive systems, can be adjusted with leveling bolts and are sealed with a silicone caulk. Windows for utility and liner walls are typically single pane on an aluminum frame, installed flush with a silicone caulk seam.

4.2 Frame image is not visible from 4 feet normal to the panel (for framed panels only).
The protective film must be removed before this visual test as the gloss of the protective film often enhances the appearance of frame read through.
4.3 For liner walls or walls with one side visible the back side of the panel may have flaws visible as long as they do not penetrate the skin of the panel.
4.4 The top (galvanized) side of ceiling panels may have flaws visible as long as they they do not penetrate the skin of the panel.
4.5 The surface of the protective film shall be clean always. If not then wipe the surface of the panel with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) on a six inch stroke. Use a protective glove always when wiping the panel surface.
4.6 The surface of the panel shall be clean. If a clean lint free cloth is wiped across a panel (after the protective film is removed) of 48 inches long, there shall be no indication of any visible particles.
4.7 Cleanliness of cut edges: The cut edges of the panels shall be clean of deposits of saw chips that may fall off from the panel in handling.
5.0 PACKAGING / STORAGE / HANDLING
5.1 Packaging:
5.1.1 It is the supplier’s responsibility to ensure the packaging of goods is sufficient to protect the product from damaging in transit. The packaging shall avoid any kind of contamination to the product.
Submittal 540
5.1.2 Finished surfaces shall be protected from scratches and dents by the following two methods:
5.1.2.1 The finished surface shall be protected from scratches or dents by applying a layer of suitable protective film which adheres to the finished surface.
5.1.2.2 Between sheets of finished skin, place a layer of non abrasive material that will not scratch or dent the finished surface.
5.1.3 The skid shall have the following minimum information attached to it unless otherwise specified in the purchase order:
Customer name Purchase Order Number Plascore item number Quantity
5.2 Storage and polyethylene film removal
5.2.1 Plascore recommends the material be stored at a temperature less than 110 deg. F and higher than 20 deg. F. Storage at temperatures outside these limits may result in the protective film being difficult to remove, or leaving residue on the panel.
5.2.2 The panel shall not be left anywhere such that it is exposed to water or other contaminants. The panel with protective film shall not get wet at any time.
5.2.3 Plascore recommends that the protective film be removed only after the panel and the protective film have been at 68 - 780F and 40% +/- 10 % relative humidity for more than 36 hours. Not following these guidelines may result in protective film being difficult to remove and/or leaving adhesive residue on the panel. If the protective film leaves residue behind, notify Plascore immediately before proceeding further.
5.3 Recommended Handling:
5.3.1 Panel shall be handled with great care.
5.3.2 While loading a panel on a stack or removing panels from a stack, two people must handle the panel to avoid dragging the panel edges on top of each other, potentially causing scratches on the surface of the panel.
5.3.3 While lifting panels, always grab the entire thickness of the panel. Be careful not to lift by placing the hands or fingers just underneath the top skin. This may cause delaminating of the panel.

6.0 NOTES
6.1 Important Notice
6.1.1 Plascore reserves the right to change any part of this specification, although changes have to be mutually agreed for any existing contracts. Plascore also reserves the right to waive any part of this specification on a case by case basis after mutual agreement.
6.1.2 The technical information herein regarding our products, equipment and/or process is believed to be reliable and to the best of our knowledge. We do not warrant the accuracy of such information, whether expressed or implied, including warranties of fitness for a particular purpose. It is the user’s or purchaser’s responsibility to undertake sufficient testing to verify the suitability of our products for their own particular purpose.
6.1.3 The information contained herein shall not be construed as inducement, permission or recommendation to infringe upon any patent rights or other rights of third parties.
6.1.4 This specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
6.1.5 Several of the criteria for acceptance and rejection are subjective although great effort has been made to make these as objective as possible.
6.2 Cleaning procedures
The cleaning procedures mentioned below may enable you to clean the surface.
Depending on regulatory or other requirements, you may or may not use these methods. Method of cleaning and type of cleaner is ultimately up to the user to determine. Always test a small non-visible area first when trying a new cleaner.
It is also the user’s responsibility to determine the suitable location for the cleaning process, whether it be outside or inside the clean room.
Submittal 540
6.2.1 Construction soils, including concrete or mortar etc. should be removed as soon as possible. The exact procedure for cleaning will vary depending on the nature and degree of soil. Try to restrict cleaning to mild weather. Cleaning should be done in shaded areas.
6.2.2 Removal of dirt could be done using any non-abrasive paper or cloth. This could be done on a dry surface if that is sufficient. If this does not work, the cloth may be made wet and wipe to remove the dirt. Use of DI water is recommended
6.2.3 If water alone does not work, use a mild detergent with water.
6.2.4 Cleaning of the painted or uPVC filmed surfaces can be done by wiping with a cloth dipped in Isopropyl alcohol (IPA- from 50 % concentration to anhydrous depending on the need, use DI water to dilute IPA). The advantage of cleaning like this is that IPA evaporates to leave a clean surface. Refer Section 6.1 before cleaning. Excessive use may deteriorate the painted or uPVC surface. Always use protective clothing, gloves and goggles while performing this cleaning.
6.2.5 Caution:
6.2.5.1 Over cleaning or excessive rubbing can do more harm than good.
6.2.5.2 Strong solvents or strong cleaner concentrations may cause damage to painted or uPVC film surfaces.
6.2.5.3 Avoid using abrasive cleaners and also do not use household cleaners that may contain abrasives which can damage the painted or uPVC film surfaces.
6.2.5.4 Abrasive materials such as steel wool, abrasive brushes etc. can damage the surface finishes.
6.2.5.5 Avoid drips and splashes. Remove run downs as quickly as possible.
6.2.5.6 Avoid temperature extremes. Heat accelerates chemical reactions and may evaporate water from solution. Extremely low temperature may give poor cleaning effects.
6.2.5.7 Never use paint removers, aggressive alkaline, acid or abrasive cleaners. Always do a test surface.
6.2.5.8 Never mix cleaners.
Submittal 540
6.2.5.9 This specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
