APPLICATIONS

In order to meet new requiremerits for ultra-pure, flame retardant performance in dean room environments, Dyneon has introduced some new applications for its T H V fluorothermoplasfic products. The semiconductor industry has been working with the authorities to add,ms fire and building safety isales following a number of dean room fires and to incorporate more fire-safe materials into dean room construction. However, because of the decreasing geomeu~es that chip manufacturersare trying to achieve,

"Dyneon T H V is one of the only products with the essential ~ s t i c s for this type of tequitement," says Panla Hubbard, market development manager, ultrahigh purity. "The material's inherent flame retardant properties are in high demand from semiconductor

manufacturers looking to improve the fire s a ~ of their dean rooms. UnlJ~ most fluompolymers, Dyneon T H V exhibits good optical clarity, malting it for window and door applicadons of semiconductor equipment and dean rooms. Dyneon T H V ha= no fillers or additives that can leach out. It has low l¢,a~ of metal ions and anions and exhibits low outgassing." According to the company, another benefit of Dyneon THV is its ability to be easily welded to itself, allowing
