Chemraz SubFAB is a first-to-market, total sealing solution that is engineered to withstand the harsh chemical effluents and deliver superior performance at the high temperatures of today’s subfab environment . Many conventional sealing materials such as fluoroelastomers can no longer handle the increasing temperatures and chemical exposure found in many subfab applications – making Chemraz SubFAB a top choice when sealing system upgrades are needed.

Chemraz SubFAB key features include:

• Broad chemical resistance to typical subfab effluents
• 300°C operating temperature capability
• Patent-pending, optimal high-temperature seal design accounts for the limitations of the KF fittings that can lead to elevated stress and premature failures in conventional sealing materials
• Low cost of ownership, whether upgrading from FKM or looking to reduce costs
• Unique color distinguishes Chemraz SubFAB from typical perfluoroelastomers and fluorocarbon elastomers

Chemraz SubFAB is specified for many applications:

• ISO-KF vacuum fittings
• Interconnecting vacuum piping
• Rough pumps
• Gas abatement systems/scrubbers
• Subfab valves

“Greene, Tweed is excited to add Chemraz SubFAB to our family of innovative Chemraz perfluoroelastomers. It is truly an industry-first solution that was developed specifically with the subfab in mind. Customers that choose Chemraz SubFAB for their harsh subfab environment will not only get a sealing solution that delivers enhanced performance, but they’ll get that performance at a much higher value vs. competitive perfluoroelastomers,” shares Alan Maher, Global Business Manager Subfab at Greene, Tweed.
