With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the requirements for production equipment and processes are becoming higher and higher. In the semiconductor manufacturing process, a large number of pipes and hoses are used to transport various gases, liquids and chemicals. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hose has been widely used in the semiconductor industry due to its unique properties.
1. Performance advantages of polytetrafluoroethylene hose
1. High temperature resistance
In the semiconductor manufacturing process, processes in high-temperature environments are required.
Ptfe Hose has excellent high temperature resistance and can be used for a long time in the temperature range of -60°C to 250°C without deformation or damage.
2. Corrosion resistance
During the semiconductor manufacturing process, a variety of corrosive gases and chemicals are used. PTFE hose has excellent corrosion resistance and is resistant to most corrosive gases and chemicals without chemical reaction or corrosion.
3. Low friction coefficient
In the semiconductor manufacturing process, high-speed and high-precision fluids need to be transported. The PTFE hose has a low friction coefficient, which can reduce the friction loss of fluid and improve transmission efficiency. At the same time, PTFE hose also has excellent anti-adhesion properties, which can prevent fluid from adhering and depositing in the pipeline, ensuring the cleanliness and smoothness of the pipeline.
4. High transparency
During the semiconductor manufacturing process, fluids need to be monitored and controlled in real time. The PTFE hose has high transparency, making it easy to observe the flow state and quality changes of the fluid.
2. Application of PTFE hose in semiconductor industry
