Silica rock cleanroom panels
Silica rock cleanroom panels use an inorganic silica rock core between steel faces. The core is non-combustible and rigid, so the panels stay flat for cleanroom walls and ceilings in pharmaceutical, hospital, food and electronics projects.

Questions
Why silica rock instead of rock wool?
Silica rock boards are rigid and dimensionally stable, which helps flatness and joint quality in cleanrooms.
Can it be used for ceilings?
Yes, walkable or non-walkable ceilings are quoted to your span and support layout.
