Overview
PBSC’s cleanroom escape panel is also commonly known as a breakout panel, a service access panel, a cleanroom door, an escape door, BOP, or a kick out panel. It provides a quick escape and safe exit from a cleanroom or containment-controlled environment. It is often used as a removable window that can be easily removed for equipment access routes during planned shutdowns.

The escape panel is quick to remove and clearly marked. It takes approximately 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). 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.
Option 1 Rebate – This is a complete frame assembly that comes with a satin-finished flange and a 5mm clear acrylic panel. It’s designed to be installed in front of an existing fire door and the panel is held securely within the flange by a rubber extrusion. Additionally, the extrusion comes with a removable lead that can be used in emergencies.
Option 2 Wraparound – This is a split frame assembly that comes with a 5mm satin-finished flange. It is designed to be installed within an existing wall space and comes complete with a 5mm clear acrylic panel. The panel is secured within the flange with a rubber extrusion that has a removable lead for emergency use.
Instructions for both options are available on a sticker attached to the acrylic panel.
The standard application includes a rebate frame designed for installation in front of a fire door. Custom solutions are available for doors that open through the escape panel.
