Micronova PCX™ Cleanroom Polyethylene Tape — LDPE Film + Acrylic Adhesive, 36-Yard Rolls (1" and 2"), Low-Outgassing, Color-Coding & Sealing
Cleanroom Processed & Packaged Polyethylene (LDPE) Film Acrylic Adhesive Low Halogens / Low Leachable Chlorides 36 Yards (33 m) Individually Bagged
Overview

Micronova PCX™ is a cleanroom-processed, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) tape engineered for controlled environments where facilities want dependable sealing and labeling performance while minimizing risk from outgassing and chemical residues. The polyethylene film and acrylic adhesive are selected to reduce the chance of outgassing, while maintaining excellent conformability and chemical resistance for everyday cleanroom tasks such as masking, batching, and color-coded identification.

SOSCleanroom stocks proven, best-in-class cleanroom consumables because critical workflows cannot afford uncertainty. When you buy PCX through SOSCleanroom, you are buying the correct configuration for your process, with reliable availability and documentation support.

Why this tape matters in controlled environments
  • Lower risk chemistry: Manufacturer describes PCX as low in halogens and leachable chlorides—helpful where ionic contaminants and residues are scrutinized.
  • Designed for cleanrooms: Processed and packaged in a cleanroom; specified for controlled environments (ISO 5 to ISO 9) in the manufacturer specification.
  • Conformable, practical performance: Polyethylene film + acrylic adhesive support strong everyday use for sealing, labeling, masking, and batching.
  • Traceability support: Manufacturer notes part number and lot number printed on each bag and case, supporting receiving and internal material control.
Typical tasks supported
  • Color-coding tools, bins, and process zones
  • Sealing cleanroom bags, liners, and containers
  • Label protection (e.g., over-labeling for water baths)
  • Masking and temporary holds during assembly/inspection
  • Wafer box sealing and similar controlled-environment packaging tasks

Cleanroom Tapes Contamination Control Labeling & Sealing Electronics / ESD Awareness
Why “tape” is a critical cleanroom tool (not a commodity)

In controlled environments, tape is not just for sticking things together. It becomes part of your material flow: sealing bags and liners, labeling bins and lots, masking during assembly, and controlling boundaries during staging. That means tape selection can influence residue transfer, outgassing potential, and process clarity (especially when color-coding is used to prevent mix-ups).

Micronova PCX™ is positioned for “more critical environments” because it is cleanroom processed/packaged and is described as a low-density polyethylene tape that is low in halogens and leachable chlorides. The polyethylene film with acrylic adhesive is also selected to lessen the chance of outgassing, while maintaining chemical resistance and conformability.

What PCX is designed to do well
  • Process identification: Eight color options (manufacturer) support color-coding so teams can visually manage status, ownership, and restricted-use items.
  • Sealing and packaging support: Common use includes bag sealing and wafer box sealing—applications where consistent adhesion and clean handling matter.
  • Label protection: PCX is specifically noted for over-labeling to protect paper labels during water-bath exposure.
  • Controlled-environment readiness: Manufacturer specification references use in controlled environments ISO 5 to ISO 9 and notes individual bagging plus lot/part traceability.
Practical handling guidance (reducing mistakes & rework)
  • Surface prep: If you want reliable adhesion, remove surface oils/particles first (a quick wipe and dry-down typically improves consistency).
  • Burnish edges: Apply firm pressure at edges and corners to prevent “lift” on textured bags and liners.
  • Color discipline: Assign meanings to colors (e.g., “Quarantine,” “Released,” “Engineering Hold”) and control it via SOP so colors stay consistent across shifts.
  • Know the limitation: Micronova’s specification states PCX is not autoclavable; use an autoclave-rated tape where steam sterilization is part of the workflow.
Electronics cleanrooms: where ESD controls intersect with tape selection

If electronics are involved, contamination control and ESD control run in parallel. Tape can be part of packaging and handling—so in ESD Protected Areas (EPAs), teams commonly standardize materials to avoid introducing uncontrolled insulators or static-generating surfaces.

  • ESD program context: ANSI/ESD S20.20 is widely used for ESD control programs and explicitly addresses packaging as a control element.
  • Packaging hierarchy: IEC 61340-5-1 defines packaging categories (intimate, proximity, secondary). That matters because the closer the packaging gets to an ESDS item, the more controlled it must be.

Bottom line: PCX is a cleanroom polyethylene tape selected for controlled-environment cleanliness and practical performance. If your process requires ESD-specific behavior, select an ESD-rated tape (anti-static or conductive-grid) per your ESD program.

Why customers buy cleanroom tapes from SOSCleanroom
  • Correct configuration: We help match width, color, and packaging format to how your team actually uses tape (batching, labeling, sealing, staging).
  • Documentation-first mindset: Manufacturer specifications and catalogs are provided for qualification files and internal review.
  • One-vendor efficiency: Pair tape with cleanroom wipes, gloves, and ESD supplies in fewer POs—simplifying procurement and reducing substitutions.
