SEMIKON SERIES MATERIALS
Symmtek’s Semikon molded polymer products are a series of electrostatic dissipative and/or conductive compression molded polymers, designed for static management applications up to service temperatures of 500F in the semiconductor and solar-cell manufacturing industries. The filler/reinforcement packages in the Semikon product line impart high strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range while preventing discharge to or from human contact. Semikon products are compression molded ensuring minimal residual stress in the molded shapes, guaranteeing ease of machining to hold very tight tolerances required for components in semiconductor device manufacturing equipment. The products are available in rod, tube, and plate and in several resins for very different performances: Polyamide-imide (PAI), Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK), and Poly-Aryl-sulfone (PAS) (PPSU).
Products
