David, We have a Maxell Factory locally who make CDs. The conditions they are made in is incredibly well controlled from temp and humidity to having a constant positive air pressure in the working area along with superfine air filtration and entry access Airlocks which give you a good blast of air to remove debris after putting on a onepiece protective suit. Viewing the surface of the CDs with an Electron Microscope shows up all the defects that arise from poor material structure to airborne contamination.and I remain amazed at the lack of defects and the high quality that is maintained.
