Halar ECTFE Out-Performs other FM4910-Approved Fire-Safe Plastics in Semiconductor Chemical Testing Program

Following the Sematech Fire-Safe Plastics Test Project (Technical Report #98123623A-Eng), Halar ECTFE outperformed the field in two critical areas: retention of weld strength and resistance to swelling.

Halar ECTFE was tested against PVDF homopolymer, PVDF Flex Copolymer, and Corzan CPVC. Each material was immersed in aggressive chemicals commonly found in semiconductor processing for 30 and 90 days at 190ºF, including Piranha, 30% Ammonium Hydroxide, SC1, 20% TMAH, and 30% H202. Complete testing results available from Ausimont.

Halar ECTFE is approved and listed by Factory Mutual's Clean Room Fire Safety Protocol, FM 4910 and meets the performance of UL 2360. Halar is suitable for construction of "fire-safe" wet work benches and eliminate the need for smoke and flame suppression systems. Halar is a strong, tough, high purity material used routinely in ultra pure water systems, clean room exhaust systems, and bulk high purity chemical distribution. Clear Halar ECTFE products are ideal for windows, access panels, mini-environments, site glasses, and any other area within the cleanroom where transparency is needed. These products are also extremely pure, with very low out-gassing properties.
