DowDuPont Transportation and Advanced Polymers, a business segment of DowDuPont Specialty Products Division, announced the introduction of DuPont Kalrez 9600, a compound developed to meet the needs of the semiconductor fabricating industry.
“Kalrez 9600 is an innovative product for the semiconductor fabricating industry and builds on the performance of Kalrez 9100 and Kalrez 9500. It offers longer seal life with better sealing functionality at higher temperatures in vacuum plasma processes,” said Lakshmi Krishnamurthy, Global Market segment leader, Electronics, Energy & Material Handling, DuPont Kalrez and Vespel. “The DuPont Kalrez business is always looking for opportunities to innovate in ways that help our end-users and customers, and we’re pleased to be able to offer a sealing material that helps improve productivity, increase yield and reduce the total cost of ownership in semiconductor fabrication processes.”
The DuPont Specialty Products business is slated to be one of the three companies spun off from DowDuPont. Earlier, the business gained former Dow units in an update to the spin-off plan. The specialty business will be based in Delaware.
