Data Sheet Chemraz® SubFAB (SFX) Designed Specifically for Subfab Applications FFKM Increases Manufacturing Productivity Chemraz® SubFAB (SFX), a perfluoroelastomer, is specif- ically designed to withstand the highly corrosive environ- ments that are commonly seen in Subfab applications. Specifically in the exhaust areas of the Subfab including pumps, abatement systems, and piping fittings, Chemraz® SubFAB addresses application challenges typically found in the Subfab where temperatures and chemical exposures are high and increasing. As device sizes continue to shrink, the processes used to make the device features are evolving. Atomic layer Features and Benefits processing and 3D device architectures are a few things driving changes in process chemistries and temperatures, • Broad chemical resistance to typical Subfab as well as longer processing times. The more aggres- effluents, including Fluorine and Oxygen sive nature of these new processes also leads to more • 300°C operating temperature capability aggressive effluent gases that need to be handled in the • Low cost of ownership, whether upgrading Subfab.

Including typical sizes: Note: Color variations and dark spots that might be observed in Chemraz® – KF10, KF16, KF25, KF40, KF50, ISO63, ISO80, parts are considered cosmetic and an inherent result of the polymer curing ISO100, ISO160, ISO200, and ISO250 process. They are not foreign matter and not anticipated to adversely affect the performance of the part in service.
