Greene Tweed introduces Fusion F07 performance-enhanced FKM for Subfab exhaust lines
Greene Tweed, a global manufacturer of high-performance sealing solutions and engineered components, announces the introduction of Fusion F07, a performance-enhanced fluoroelastomer.
Developed by Greene Tweed material scientists and application engineers, Fusion F07 is specifically crafted to withstand common Etch and CVD oxygen/fluorine based gases in semiconductor processing subfab lines, at temperatures up to 355°F (180°C).
With an expected lifetime of at least 6 months, Fusion F07 lasts longer than standard FKM in subfab vacuum system lines. As a result, the new performance enhanced FKM extends the time between planned maintenance activities. Notably, it provides a better total cost of ownership where applications do not require an FFKM compound.
“At Greene Tweed, we enable customers to operate efficiently and safely in the world’s most demanding environments. We understand that the semiconductor industry needs reliability and longevity. Fusion® F07 is a result of meticulous research and development, aimed at not only extending the life of their system but also improve operational efficiency,” says Magen Buterbaugh, president and CEO, Greene Tweed.
Fusion F07 can be purchased as a seal assembly or as an individual O-Ring. Customers can effortlessly upgrade to Fusion® F07 and experience the benefits of extended lifetime and the resultant reduced operating costs as the seals are form-fit replaceable with other industry standard (KF/ISO flange fittings) seals. A blue outer ring allows for easier identification upon installation and replacement. Fusion® F07 seals are available in most typical sizes, including KF16, KF25, KF40, KF50, ISO63, ISO80, ISO100, ISO160, and ISO200.
