In the electronics industry, fluoropolymers improve functionality, reliability, and lifespan of ever smaller microprocessors and other electrical components, thanks to superior chemical resistance and higher purity.
They are vital in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Semiconductor manufacturing involves many intricate processes. Fluoropolymers are capable to uphold the highest standards in purity, reliability, and endurance. They enable improved fire safety, reliability and performance of cables, notably data transmission cables enabling a wide range of ICT2, industrial, automotive, medical imaging, analysis and a vast range of other applications. A combination of high dielectric properties, high heat resistance and fire resistance is necessary to produce acceptable products. For example, FEP is used in cable insulation due to its excellent insulation properties, high thermal stability, and because it produces much less smoke during combustion compared with other polymers. Over 65%of FEP is used in plenum cable insulation where high durability and fire resistant properties are ideal for use in the confined and densely packed spaces of building infrastructures.
With increasing population, expanding cities, pressure on available resources require sustainable products those helps in saving money, time and other resources. Fluoropolymers have found a notable use in RTD, data communications, Sensors, Silicon Wafers, and Filters, Chips and Processors, Printed Circuit Boards, Cabling, Antennae, backing films and coating for moisture sensitive applications.
