Which plastics are suitable for wafer handling in high-temperature environments?

Materials such as polyimide (Vespel®), PAI (Torlon®), PPS, PEEK, and fluoropolymers like PTFE, PFA, and PVDF are commonly used in elevated-temperature applications. Among these, polyimide (Vespel®), PPS, PAI (Torlon®), and PEEK maintain greater strength and stiffness at higher temperatures compared to fluoropolymers.
