  Clean and contained rooms
  Roxtec’s range of airtight cable and pipe seals are designed for use in the laboratory sector. Clean and contained rooms are highly sensitive sterile environments often found in hospitals, medical facilities and laboratories. Roxtec cable and pipe seals are approved for use in CL3 and CL4 contained rooms and are capable of maintaining a gas tight seal in both negative and positive pressure environments.
  The seals are specially designed to reduce the number of cable and pipe entries and maintain airtight integrity.
  Royal Victoria Hospital
  Roxtec seals were used in eight isolation rooms at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast. and on the £200m medical research council molecular biology laboratory in Cambridge. Their products were used to seal all cables, pipes and ducts entering the laboratories.
