  • Semiconductor Industry Sealing Solutions

    High performance seals designed for cleanliness and precision.

    Our seals are engineered to protect sensitive equipment, enhance production processes, and ensure the highest standards of performance in semiconductor manufacturing.

    In the semiconductor industry, even the smallest contamination or equipment failure can lead to significant defects and production delays. Our sealing solutions are designed to prevent contamination, protect critical systems, and ensure the flawless operation of semiconductor equipment.

     

    Semiconductor Sealing Products

    O-Rings
    Available in a wide range of materials, including fluorocarbon, silicone, EPDM and PTFE, offering superior resistance to heat, chemicals, and environmental factors. Ideal for static and dynamic sealing in semiconductor equipment, providing tight, reliable seals in vacuum and high-purity applications.

    Gaskets
    High-quality, contamination-free sealing for wafer processing chambers, piping and valve connections. Designed to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures while preventing particle ingress and ensuring a leak-free environment.

    Rotary Seals
    Essential for rotating components in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, our rotary seals are designed to prevent leakage and contamination while maintaining the precise motion required for critical processes. Ideal for vacuum pumps, gas valves and other rotary systems used in cleanroom environments.

    Custom Seals
    We can design and manufacture custom sealing solutions to meet the specific demands of your equipment. Whether it’s for new technology or retrofitting existing systems, our team will create seals that fit perfectly and provide optimal performance in sensitive applications.

     

    High-Quality Materials

    Our seals are made from premium materials that offer excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, vacuum conditions, and high-purity environments.

    Perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) - ideal for high temperatures and exposure to aggressive chemicals in plasma, wet, and dry semiconductor process applications. 

    Fluorocarbon (FKM or Viton™) - known for their excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability.

    Silicone - Versatile and suitable for various applications. 

    EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) - a balance of cost and performance. 

    PTFE (Teflon™) - exceptional resistance to chemicals and heat. 

     

    The Importance of Seals in Semiconductor Manufacturing

    Sealing solutions are integral to the semiconductor manufacturing process because they directly impact the purity and integrity of production environments. Contaminants, leaks, or equipment failures can lead to defects, reduced yield, or system downtime. Our seals play a crucial role in:

    • Maintaining Vacuum Integrity: Ensuring vacuum chambers and systems stay at optimal pressure levels without leaks or contamination.
    • Preventing Contamination: Protecting the cleanliness of cleanroom environments and ensuring that materials and equipment remain uncontaminated.
    • Improving Process Efficiency: Seals that withstand high temperatures, pressures, and chemicals contribute to the efficiency and reliability of semiconductor equipment.
    • Minimising Downtime: Reliable seals reduce the need for frequent repairs and maintenance, helping to minimise costly downtime in production.
