M+W Group Fab 8 Project Manager Werner Greyling explains a low tech idea for a high tech result. Before spray-painting the floor with specialized product, painters inflate beach balls to the specific sizes of over 2500 pipe inlets and outlets above the "clean rooms" at Fab 8, Module 1 facility of Global Foundries on Thursday morning. This keeps the paint product from dripping into the "clean room" a floor below.
