Cleanroom environments require stringent contamination control to ensure product integrity in industries such as pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, biotechnology, and aerospace. Among various contamination control strategies, high-performance garments play a critical role in minimizing particulate and microbial dispersion from personnel. This case study investigates the optimization of garment material and structural properties to enhance contamination control efficiency. Key performance parameters including particle filtration efficiency, thermal comfort, electrostatic discharge (ESD) control, and durability are analyzed using data compiled from open-access scientific literature and technical reports. The influence of fabric density, weave structure, conductive yarn integration, and sterilization cycles on garment performance is examined. Statistical analysis reveals a strong positive correlation between fabric density and filtration efficiency, while repeated laundering significantly affects durability. Thermal comfort analysis indicates an inverse relationship between insulation and wearer comfort. The results demonstrate that optimized synthetic fabrics with controlled pore structure and integrated conductive fibers provide superior contamination control without compromising usability. The study concludes that multi-functional textile engineering and controlled lifecycle management are essential for achieving sustainable and high-performance cleanroom garment systems.
