Soper's Softwall Partitions

Whether it is a production floor, food processing lab, or warehouse/distribution center, there is always a need to enclose or segregate a process or area, or add one, without compromising work-flow. Soper's Softwall Partitions are the smart alternative to traditional rigid wall construction (such as drywall, metal cladding, or concrete) in an economy where being flexible is the key to success.

  • Creating cleanrooms or ISO quarantine areas. Learn more.

Advantages Over Rigid Wall Construction

If you have an in-plant environmental problem, such as dust, fumes, noise, temperature, cross-contamination, odor, or overspray, you've probably considered building a traditional drywall, concrete block, or metal clad partition or enclosure. Soper's Softwall partitions and enclosures provide significant advantages to project cost, flexibility, and installation over traditional wall construction.

Cost Savings Icon

Cost

Traditional rigid wall construction can cost anywhere from $8 to $35 per square foot. Soper's Softwall systems cost a fraction of what it cost to build a traditional rigid wall, with the flexibility to easily expand in the future.

Modular Icon

Flexibility

Traditional rigid wall construction is difficult to modify or move. Soper's Softwall partitions and enclosures can be easily disassembled and reinstalled or reconfigured elsewhere to accommodate new requirements.

Installation Icon

Installation

Installing a rigid wall can be expensive, messy and time consuming. Soper's Softwall Partitions and Enclosures can be installed quickly with little or often no downtime, meaning minimal interruption to production.

Cleanrooms & Isolation Areas

Soper's Cleanroom Partition

Soper's Softwall materials can be used to create completely controlled cleanroom enclosures or isolation areas, from non-specified environmental rooms (also known as white rooms or gray rooms), to fully-specified ISO class cleanrooms. Soper's Cleanroom Enclosures are most commonly used to create a positive air pressure environment, and are easily integrated with third-party fan filter modules.

Features

  • Manufactured of Clear View Polyvinylchloride (PVC)
  • Anti-static, high temperature, chemical resistant materials available
  • Rugged, anodized aluminum frame system
  • Modular design enables multiple configurations
  • Completely self-supporting or suspended from existing overhead structure
  • Increase cleanroom classification by using drop-in HEPA filter units

Temperature & Climate Control Areas

Soper's Enclosed Packaging Area

The Soper's R-Rated Softwall materials offer long-term operational cost efficiencies. Temperature-controlled areas are easily created and can be installed in a short time frame, without typical construction debris, allowing companies to maintain operations with minimal interruption or mess.

Features

  • Create temperature controlled areas while also controlling energy and operational costs
  • Easy to install with limited interruption and mess
  • Maximize work and storage space, protect, or segregate inventory and move easily when business needs change
  • Customizable to meet specific industry requirements and acceptable to Class A flammability specifications
  • Available in single or double thickness so customers have the option to decide how much insulation is required for their application
  • The insulation fill is moisture-resistant, and the outer layer is tear-, fungus-, mildew-, and shrink-resistant, and is dimensionally stable
  • The high strength, low wick base fabric is inherently flame retardant, lightweight, thin, and flexible

Retractable Curtains

Soper's Retractable Curtain

From heavy industry to the automotive aftermarket to aircraft hangars to recreational facilities, there is always a need to intermittently enclose or section off areas. Contain and control dust & fumes, welding flash, temperature, and overspray.

Applications include: Enclosing welding areas, creating wash bay areas, creating spray booths, and section off areas of your facility

Features

  • Available in Woven Polyethylene, Vinyl Coated Polyester (VCP), or PVC
  • 12- or 16-gauge heavy-duty track with nylon or steel rollers
  • Ceiling- or floor-mounted
  • Deploy manually or mechanically

Flame Retardant Materials

Local governments uphold strict codes and regulations that determine classifications of flame retardant fabrics. There are many testing methods and agencies that perform these tests including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Soper's can design your custom solution to meet Class 1 ASTM E 84 or NFPA 701 flammability specifications and building code requirements by matching the right fabric to your application.

Material Specification
Clear View Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Select VCP materials meet NFPA-701, CAN/ULC-S109 and Class 1 ASTM E 84 flammability specifications.
14 Mil Clear Polyvinylchloride (PVC) PVC is a popular clear vinyl that is cost efficient, flexible, and durable and meets the NFPA-701 fire rating.
Woven Polyethylene Woven polyethylene fabric provides extremely high tensile and tear strength in relation to its light weight and meets NFPA-701 and Class 1 ASTM E 84 flammability specifications.
