PVDF
Fluoropolymer with low extractables for piping and wet benches. FM 4910 grades available.
Overview of plastic materials Piedmont Plastics supplies for semiconductor wafer manufacturing support equipment, covering wafer handling components and wet process systems.
Semiconductor wafer manufacturing applications rely heavily on high-performance plastics. These materials are used in the carriers and test sockets that handle wafers and devices, and in the wet benches, tanks, and tubing that hold process chemicals. Semiconductor wafer manufacturing materials must resist acids and heat, hold tight tolerances, control static, and release almost no particles or metal ions. Piedmont Plastics supplies a full range of products for these applications, and can also help with fabrication.
Piedmont Plastics supplies wall graphic films and other materials for indoor and outdoor wall graphic applications.

PTFE (Teflon), ECTFE, PVDF (Kynar®), and PFA are all good material options with exceptional resistance to acids and solvents.
FR-PP and PVC work for room-temperature to moderately heated baths and for benches that need FM 4910 approval. PVDF handles higher temperatures and strong oxidizers.
PEI, PAI, and PEEK are the common choices. PEI offers dimensional stability and flame resistance at a lower cost. PAI offers the most strength and wear resistance. Static-dissipative grades of all three are available for ESD-sensitive devices.
FM 4910 is an FM Approvals test standard for cleanroom materials that measures fire spread and smoke. FR-PP and select PVDF and PVC grades are FM 4910 approved. Many fabs and insurers require it for wet benches.
