In industries where cleanliness is critical, the right cleanroom solution can make all the difference. One of the most versatile and cost-effective options available today is the softwall cleanroom. These modular cleanroom systems are ideal for companies that require flexibility, rapid deployment, and reliable contamination control.
At Modular Cleanrooms, Inc., we’ve been designing and installing softwall cleanrooms for over 40 years. With thousands of successful installations across the pharmaceutical, aerospace, medical device, and electronics industries, we understand what it takes to create clean environments that perform.
What Is a Softwall Cleanroom?
A softwall cleanroom is a controlled environment structure made with a rigid frame and flexible, clear vinyl or antistatic curtain walls. Unlike hardwall systems, softwall cleanrooms are lightweight, portable, and adaptable. This makes them perfect for facilities that need temporary or reconfigurable cleanroom spaces.
Softwall cleanrooms use HEPA-filtered airflow to maintain specific ISO classifications for air cleanliness. At Modular Cleanrooms, our systems are engineered to meet ISO Class 4 to Class 8 requirements, depending on your industry and application.
Why Choose Softwall Cleanrooms?
There are many reasons why softwall cleanrooms are a popular choice across multiple industries:
-
Flexibility – Easily reconfigured, expanded, or relocated as your operations evolve.
-
Speed – Quick installation times make softwall cleanrooms ideal for fast-track projects or emergencies.
-
Affordability – Lower material and labor costs compared to traditional cleanrooms.
-
Portability – Mobile options allow you to bring cleanroom conditions where they’re needed most.
-
Compliance – Designed to meet cGMP, ISO, and USP 797/800 standards.
Whether you’re managing a pharmaceutical compounding pharmacy or an aerospace testing lab, softwall cleanrooms offer an excellent balance of performance and cost-efficiency.
Best Applications for Softwall Cleanrooms
While not suitable for every environment, softwall cleanrooms shine in a variety of use cases:
-
Pharmaceutical compounding – Ideal for compounding areas that require ISO 7 or ISO 8 conditions, especially under USP 800 compliance.
-
Medical device assembly – Provide a controlled space for sensitive components without investing in permanent infrastructure.
-
Aerospace and defense – Use for precision part assembly or clean storage environments.
-
Optics and electronics – Protect products from particle contamination during manufacturing or testing.
-
Research and development – Flexible setups support evolving project needs in laboratory settings.
