The Kimura K23X and K2CD elastomers address particulation and thermal expansion issues that can arise with fluoroelastomer (FKM) and high-purity perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) seals in etch and CVD processes. By avoiding the need for traditional and organic fillers, Kimura seals last up to 40% longer than FKM and FFKM seals in both hot and cold processes, the company says.
