Within semiconductor wafer cleaning, harsh chemicals and elevated temperatures can cause components to crack, leak, or mechanically fail (before the expected component lifetime). Downtime in semiconductor chip manufacturing or subsequent damages that may occur during production are hefty bills to swallow. 

For decades, various types of metals have been the go-material across most industries.

Greene Tweed has announced the introduction of Chemraz G57, a perfluoroelastomer that Greene Tweed material scientists and application engineers specifically developed to meet the demands of aggressive dry plasma systems and other extremely demanding semiconductor fabrication sealing applications.

Aircraft manufacturers across the world are using more and more composite materials instead of traditional metals such as steel and aluminium. What makes composites so appealing is their high strength-to-weight ratio - a comparison of their strength to how much it weighs. Composites aren't just one of the strongest materials around, but they can be strong without being heavy - exactly what an airplane needs.

Greene Tweed announces the appointment of Magen Buterbaugh as President and CEO of Greene Tweed effective January 3, 2023.

The use of distributed sensing (DS) is on the rise, especially for sensitive oil and gas and pipeline applications, structural health monitoring in concrete structures, and subsea cable infrastructure monitoring for offshore wind energy power sources. Joseph Shih, Seal-Connect Technical Product Specialist, Greene Tweed discusses.

Greene Tweed has highlighted its innovative ArlonÒ 3000 XT thermoplastic for electronics applications. ArlonÒ 3000 XT provides excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance, very low moisture absorption, remarkably low wear, and high impact resistance.

Greene Tweed’s Fusion FKM 665, a new generation, ultra-low-temperature and chemical-resistant elastomer, was specifically formulated to meet and exceed the requirements of Aerospace Material Specification (AMS) 7379 and AMS-P-83461. With a temperature range of -57 to +232°C, Fusion 665 achieves low-temperature performance without compromising high-temperature performance.

The market for industrial-use elastomers is defined by extremes. Whether chemical compatibility, plasma resistance, high and low temperatures, or other characteristics, engineers demand the highest possible performance. By Dr Thomas Reger, Senior Scientist at Greene, Tweed
