Wansui Pharmaceutical GMP Cleanroom Project — 17,000㎡ of Glostar Handmade Cleanroom Panels

When Wansui Pharmaceutical needed a cleanroom enclosure system that could meet China's GMP standards and sustain ISO-class cleanliness over a large production floor, they selected Glostar's handmade cleanroom panels. This case study documents the project scope, product selection rationale, key performance parameters, and outcomes for a 17,000 m² pharmaceutical facility in Hebei Province.

Project at a Glance

1. Project Background & Client Requirements

Wansui Pharmaceutical is a licensed pharmaceutical manufacturer in Hebei Province producing solid-dose and liquid formulations for the domestic Chinese market. Their new production facility expansion required a cleanroom enclosure system covering 17,000 m² of wall and ceiling area across multiple production grades — including Class D (ISO 8), Class C (ISO 7), and Class B (ISO 5) zones.

The engineering team's selection criteria centred on four requirements:

• Surface hygiene: Non-porous, wipe-down-compatible steel skins rated for alcohol-based disinfectants and H₂O₂ fogging cycles.
• Panel flatness & joint integrity: Tight tolerances needed across large ceiling spans to prevent particle accumulation at joints.
• Fire safety: Core and panel assembly meeting GB 8624 Class B1 or better — mandatory for pharmaceutical production environments under China's fire code.
• Project scale efficiency: A single supplier capable of fulfilling 17,000 m² with consistent batch quality and on-schedule delivery.

2. Product Specification — Glostar Handmae Cleanroom Panel

The panels supplied to Wansui Pharmaceutical are produced at Glostar's Shandong manufacturing base under controlled conditions with automated surface coating lines and manual assembly stations for edge treatment and core insertion.

3. Project Execution Highlights

Delivering 17,000 m² of cleanroom panels for a pharmaceutical project demands more than manufacturing capacity — it requires coordinated scheduling, consistent batch quality, and on-site technical support. Key execution milestones for the Wansui project included:

All panels were fabricated to project-specific cut lengths, minimising on-site waste and reducing installation time. Batch inspection reports — including dimensional checks, coating adhesion tests, and fire core certifications — were provided to the Wansui project team prior to shipment.

Given Hebei's climate — with cold winters (down to −15 °C) and hot humid summers — the core material selection prioritised thermal stability and moisture resistance. Rock wool core panels were selected for fire-rated partitions, while PIR core panels were used in temperature-controlled zones requiring enhanced thermal insulation (λ ≤ 0.022 W/(m·K)).

4. Project Outcomes

Following installation and commissioning, the Wansui Pharmaceutical cleanroom enclosure passed regulatory validation as part of the facility's GMP certification inspection. Key outcomes reported:

• GMP Compliance Achieved: All production zones passed particle count testing per ISO 14644-1 at their designated cleanliness class. The tight joint system of the handcrafted panels contributed directly to minimising interstitial particle ingress.
• Surface Integrity Maintained: After 12+ months of routine H₂O₂ and IPA disinfection cycles, no surface delamination, blistering, or coating degradation was observed — a critical requirement for ongoing GMP compliance.
• Fire Safety Compliance: Rock wool core panels in the facility's fire compartment walls met the REI 60 fire resistance requirement per relevant Chinese GB standards.
• On-Time Delivery: The full 17,000 m² order was delivered across scheduled batches aligned with the construction programme, avoiding delays to the commissioning timeline.

5. Why Pharmaceutical Projects Choose Glostar Cleanroom Panels
