Entegris Launches New Integra Valves at SEMICON China; New Valves Increase Resistance to Basic pH Chemistries for Semiconductor Manufacturers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SEMICON SEMICON Semiconductors Equipment and Material International Conference China 2003 CHASKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 12, 2003 Entegris, Inc., (Nasdaq:ENTG) the materials integrity management company, today launched its new injection-molded Integra(R) valve product line, which utilizes ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE ECTFE Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene ) for non-wetted components. This material is designed to increase the valves' resistance to basic pH chemistries widely used in the semiconductor industry. Entegris will showcase the new products this week at SEMICON China 2003 in Shanghai. The new Entegris valves consist of non-wetted components made from Halar(R) ECTFE, a chemically resistant partially fluorinated fluorinated material to which a fluoride has been added, e.g. water for human consumption treated as a prophylaxis against tooth decay. polymer. ECTFE has a higher chemical resistance to oxygenated solvents and bases, compared to other partially fluorinated polymers. Thus, increasing product performance in protecting and transporting critical fluids in semiconductor manufacturers' caustic environments. Integra valves are used in chemical distribution units, valve box See Valve chest manifolds and wet processing equipment where external exposure to base solutions regularly occurs. In this environment, the ECTFE-based components will maintain system uptime, decrease cost of ownership and extend the life of the valve. ECTFE components are available on all Integra valve configurations including one-quarter and one-half inch manual, pneumatic and high-pressure valves. Entegris will showcase the new Integra valves and several other material integrity management products at SEMICON China, Shanghai New International Exposition Center, March 12-14, Booth #1408, Hall One.
