Purity of Elastomer Sealing Materials for Semiconductor Manufacturing
With today’s nanoscale technology nodes, meeting cleanliness, purity and defect requirements has become increasingly challenging.
Common Causes of Seal Failure in Oil & Gas
The conditions involved in Oil & Gas production include extreme temperatures, pressures and chemical media, and place rigorous demands on equipment which must be precision engineered to ensure proper functionality and long term performance.
Sealing Considerations for Upstream Oil & Gas
The critical nature of upstream oil and gas applications has a major impact on the expectations placed on component performance and long term reliability.
The Importance of FEA Simulation in Oil & Gas
The range of benefits associated with FEA simulation make the technique highly favourable when it comes to developing sealing solutions for particularly demanding or complex applications, such as those found in the Oil & Gas sectors.
PPE flying high with new Aerospace quality standards
Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) has once again reached new heights with their quality standards.
Miniaturisation of microchips – The impact on elastomers
Particulation has always been a serious problem for the semiconductor industry. As the node sizes are getting below 10nm the requirements of the industry has becoming more stringent. Elastomer seals have always been under the spotlight for particulation.
