Welcome to Precision Polymer Engineering!
Overview
Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) is a manufacturer of high performance sealing solutions for critical semiconductor applications.
PPE designs, develops and manufactures molded elastomeric seals, gaskets, and custom components from a broad range of unique materials. The result is sealing solutions which perform reliably in the most difficult applications, lasting longer, requiring less maintenance, and delivering the lowest overall cost of ownership.
Few environments are more challenging for elastomer seals than those found in semiconductor industries. Across deposition, etch, ash/strip, thermal processing and annealing, these processes place exceptional thermal and chemical stresses on elastomer materials. That's why PPE developed its Perlast, Kimura, and Nanofluor ranges of materials - with low particulation and low trace metal contamination to ensure
- Extended system up-time
- Increased mean time between failure (MTBF)
- Decreased wet clean or mechanical clean frequency
- Minimised cost of ownership through reduced cost of consumables
The Perlast Difference
PPE is a leading innovator in FFKM material science, staying ahead of Moore's Law with improved performance and reliability across thermal, plasma, and wet chemical semiconductor processes.
Perlast is at the leading edge of FFKM technology. There is a recommended Perlast material grade for all process chemistries, temperatures, hardware locations, proximities to substrate, device type, and technology node.
Perlast semiconductor FFKM grades have been proven to offer the lowest particle and trace metal contamination, for minimised yield loss and low chemical erosion rates. Perlast is available as standard or non-standard O-rings, KF/ISO/NW fittings, end effector pads, and customer components, and are all manufactured exclusively in PPE's cleanroom environments at Blackburn, UK and Brenham, TX, United States.
