Why choose PBSC’s Emergency Escape Panel - The Top 10 Reasons

PBSC’s cleanroom escape panel, commonly known as a breakout panel, a service access panel, a cleanroom door, an escape door, BOP, or a kick out panel, is a specialised component installed in buildings and cleanroom or containment-controlled environments.

PBSC’s BOP provides occupants with a means of safe and rapid evacuation during emergencies.

These panels are designed to be easily accessible and operable, allowing occupants to exit the room/building quickly and efficiently.

2.?????? Fast Means of Escape

The unit is quick to remove, clearly marked, taking approx. 6 seconds to entirely remove the lightweight panel providing a fast means of personnel escape when needed, (the acrylic panel can be refitted after removal).

This breakout panel is available with a PBSC flush 1.5mm thick frame in either a polished stainless steel or a polyester powder-coated finish and comes in a wide variety of RAL/BS colours.

4.?????? Bespoke Construction

The interior panel has a high-quality acrylic sheet fitted with a rubber gasket, with options of a clear or opaque acrylic panel finish, engineered bespoke to the customer's specific cleanroom requirements and specifications, this includes adjusting to fit the thickness of the finished wall.

With a stainless steel assembly and pull handles, and with the choice of a pull or push design and the option of escape from both sides.
