Closed-cell EPP
Fiber-free EPP; particle behavior must be tested under the intended conditions of use.
A closed surface structure with significantly reduced gusset formation.
Easy-to-clean design
Open areas and fewer particle traps make cleaning easier.
Process Coordination
Agree cleaning methods and process parameters for the specific application
TecSa Surface combines material, surface, and design measures to reduce particle risks. Closed-cell EPP minimizes material-related particle formation, while laser-textured surfaces facilitate cleaning. Cleaning-friendly geometries and suitable cleaning processes are considered during development. Compliance with the agreed cleanliness requirements must be verified for the actual application.

In technically clean production environments, the load carrier plays a key role in determining how reliably your processes run. The design of TecSa Surface load carriers considers particle adhesion, cleanability and integration into the respective logistics and production processes.
Today, technical cleanliness is a key factor in determining scrap rates, cleaning effort, and process stability in mass production. It is achieved when material, surface, geometry, and process work together consistently. This is exactly what our TecSa containers are designed for: Integration into your cleanliness strategy and existing logistics and cleaning processes is assessed for the specific application.
Designed for technically sound production processes.
Load carriers play an important role in technically clean production and assembly processes. Cleanliness requirements, test methods and permissible particle contamination are agreed for each FEURONIC® TecSa Surface project. VDA 19.1 and ISO 16232 may provide a basis for cleanliness testing; they do not replace approval of the specific application.
This enables technically sound processes to be supported in a stable, reproducible, and production-ready manner.
Information on ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and TISAX is available on our certification page. The stated entities, sites, scopes and validity periods apply. TISAX concerns information security assessments; these records do not constitute product certification of technical cleanliness.
Technical cleanliness throughout the entire process chain
Technical cleanliness (TecSa) doesn’t just begin with the cleaning of components. The key is the consistent prevention of particle contamination throughout the entire supply, production, and logistics chain. FEURER develops TecSa-compliant EPP load carriers in accordance with the requirements of modern automotive processes, ensuring that sensitive components can be transported safely, cleanly, and with process stability. The containers support established cleaning procedures, reduce particle adhesion, and can be seamlessly integrated into automated production environments.
Define cleanliness requirements early on
Together with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, we analyze technical cleanliness requirements in accordance with VDA 19, ISO 16232, and customer-specific standards. We take potential sources of contamination into account as early as the development phase, laying the foundation for stable and audit-ready processes.
Fewer Particle Risks Through Clean Design
Our EPP load carriers are specifically designed for applications where cleanliness is critical. Easy-to-clean geometries, fewer areas where dirt can accumulate, and optimized surfaces minimize particle adhesion and make it easier to clean the containers. The result is durable, reusable packaging that meets the highest cleanliness standards.
Optimized tool surfaces for maximum cleanliness
Special tooling technologies and laser-textured surfaces enable closed-cell EPP structures with reduced particle abrasion. This results in charge carriers that meet the technical cleanliness requirements of automated manufacturing and assembly processes.
Technical Cleanliness from Manufacturing to Delivery
TecSa-compliant containers are not created solely through optimized design. FEURER takes technical cleanliness into account throughout the entire process chain—from production through cleaning and storage to delivery. This minimizes risks associated with particle contamination and supports stable automotive processes. Technical cleanliness is understood throughout the industry as a holistic approach that encompasses manufacturing, packaging, storage, and transportation.
Our TecSa containers are made of closed-cell, fiber-free EPP. This does not imply that they are generally particle-free. Abrasion, contamination and cleanability must be assessed under the actual transport, cleaning and circulation conditions.
The smooth, non-porous surface of our TecSa containers reduces the buildup of dust and abrasives. In addition, a specifically designed laser-etched pattern is used.
The design considers accessibility and cleanability. Suitable cleaning methods depend on factors including contamination, material specification, temperature, cleaning media and process parameters, and must be assessed for the particular container.
The laser-structured 3D surface specifically alters the contact between the container and the component.
Possible cleaning methods are shown below. Their suitability and permissible process parameters must be tested and approved for the specific container design.

Steam Cleaning
At FEURER, technical cleanliness doesn’t end with container design. It is taken into account throughout the entire product development process. Even tooling design, production, cleaning, and delivery are designed to ensure technically clean processes. The required initial condition and its verification are defined for the specific project.

Through systematic analysis, design, and validation, we create packaging solutions that minimize particle risks and support reliable compliance with technical cleanliness standards in production, logistics, and assembly.
FAQ
TecSa stands for “Technical Cleanliness” and describes requirements for limiting particle contamination on components and throughout production and logistics processes. Our TecSa-compliant load carriers support these requirements through particle-friendly design and surfaces optimized for cleaning.
Surface, geometry, and material properties influence particle adhesion, cleanability, and the protection of sensitive components. For this reason, the carrier is considered an integral part of the overall cleanliness strategy.
The laser-structured surface reduces open gaps and particle traps. This minimizes particle buildup and improves cleanability.
This must be assessed for the particular container design. Methods such as rinsing, ultrasonic cleaning or jet cleaning may be considered depending on material, geometry, contamination and process parameters. The application requires appropriate testing and approval.
Yes, optionally with ESD properties.
EPP is a closed-cell particle foam. Whether a load carrier made from it achieves the required cleanliness, cleanability and service life depends on its design and conditions of use and must be assessed for the specific project.
Typical applications include technically clean assembly, logistics, and production processes in the automotive, e-mobility, and electronics industries, as well as in the manufacture of precision and functional components.
