Reading, Pa. - Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products and Foresight Technologies found the perfect fit for Quadrant's Symalit® PFA 1000 High Purity grade fluoropolymer to produce wet process tanks for new and replacement applications.
"We're pleased with the results of working with Quadrant's innovative solutions. With Symalit PFA material, we save significant cost and increase the level of quality for our high purity systems we deliver to our wet process semiconductor original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users," said Scott, Osterman, vice president, Foresight Technologies. "Quadrant is helping us deliver high performance, quality fabrication and excellent aesthetics to our customers."
Symalit PFA is a semi-crystalline unreinforced fluoropolymer that features ultra high-purity, non-stick surface finish with excellent resistance to high temperatures and harsh chemical environments. Its unique chemical, thermal and ultra smooth surface characteristics make Symalit PFA well-suited for the lining of containers and tanks, chemical storage and fluid handling, fittings and pump components for semiconductor process equipment.
Foresight Technologies changed from a compression-molded material with a non-uniform thickness and small dimensional size availability to Symalit PFA material. Quadrant's stringent manufacturing process of Symalit PFA ensures that each sheet maintains true dimensional thickness, without waving, which makes the material ideal to machine, weld and fabricate into a high quality process tank.
Symalit PFA is available in larger uniform sheets which makes manufacturing simpler and eliminates the need to weld smaller sheets together. As a result, Foresight Technologies will save time, money and resources while enhancing the integrity of the tank that warrants an unwavering margin of error to handle severe chemicals. About Quadrant EEP's Symalit PFA
Symalit PFA is a semi-crystalline unreinforced fluoropolymer combining good mechanical, thermal and electrical properties with excellent chemical resistance. It also shows good resistance to high-energy radiation.
