Filter system is air exhausted from sealed cushions is passed through two .2 micron filter systems rated at 99.99% effective. The chairs are equipped with three dual level submicron filtration systems which allows air within the cushion to be expelled under minimal pressure. This filter first strains out larger particles, then traps all particles to below 0.5 micron. The chairs must have stainless steel staples, fasteners and hinge pins to protect against oxidation. The chairs must have a sealed system with permanent adhesives used to triple seal the edges of all cover materials. Other sealants encapsulate all internal wood surfaces. To ensure a positive seal, each cushion is pressure tested by being submerged in water, while internal pressure is applied. Filters are sealed into position using a permanent adhesive and stainless steel staples. Where fasteners are used to secure steel structural parts to clean room cushions, fasteners holes are filtered with the same quality filter system used for the foam. Double thick chrome plating is used on back support bars to eliminate oxidation where caustic plating or etching chemicals are present. The vinyl for the chairs must be dissipative group II.
