Fluoropolymer Seals
Protect Your Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
In the semiconductor industry, where precision and contamination control are extremely important, fluoropolymer seals are extensively used in critical applications, especially in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. For example, they are used in wafer processing equipment to prevent the leakage of gasses and liquids and ensure a controlled and stable environment.
Fluoropolymer seals also offer excellent thermal stability for processes that involve elevated temperatures like oxidation. North Coast Seal understands why your semiconductor sealing solutions must be reliable and high-performance: Your operations are at stake. Talk to us about your needs.
FFKM and PTFE Fluoropolymer Sealing Materials
Offering Chemical Resistance, Thermal Stability, and More
Materials used for fluoropolymer seals in the semiconductor industry include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), known for its outstanding chemical resistance, non-stick properties, and low friction characteristics, and perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) that are ideal for dynamic sealing applications and environments with aggressive chemicals and high temperatures. These materials offer many benefits to your semiconductor operations, including:
● Ability to withstand a broad range of aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents
● Low particle generation, leading to high purity (and no defects in the product)
● High thermal stability and low friction and wear
● Vacuum compatibility for certain semiconductor processes
