Sheila Wilson doesn't give much thought when ordering paper for the deanrooms at Rudolph Technologies (Ledgewood, NJ). Once a month or so, Wilson, a buyer at the thin-film metrology tool maker, purchases just one 250-sheet case of blue, lint-free, 22.5-pound Munising from Connecticut Clean Room Corp. (Bristol, CT), which converts it from bulk rolls from the manufacturer Kimberly Clark Corp. (Roswell, GA). "We use the color blue to tell the difference between the cleanroom documentation and office documentation," she says. "We've been buying it from the same place for so long, and I haven't seen a price increase in the last five years, so I've stayed with them."
