PELCO^® ESD Safe Wafer Handling Tweezers

PVDF (SV), Peek (CP)

SV - PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) reinforced with carbon fiber.

• Excellent mechanical strength and toughness
• Smooth surface
• Heat stabilized, high heat capability, continuous use temperature up to 150°C (302°F)
• High purity (clean room and medical devices approved, low extraction value)
• Excellent chemical resistance to most aggressive substances and solvents. Resistant to halogens. Not compatible with NMP.
• Outstanding resistance to hydrofluoric acid (40% conc., 90°C, 194°F), nitric acid (50% conc., 90°C, 194°F), hydrochloric acid (36% conc., 90°C, 194°F)
• High abrasion resistance
• Resistant to UV and nuclear radiation (sterilization)
• ESD safe material
• Typical applications include handling of very scratch and contamination-sensitive components, cleaning and etching processes

CP - PEEK (polyether ether ketone) reinforced with carbon fiber

• Very hard, rigid, high tensile and flexural strength, very high wear resistance
• High heat capability (260-300°C, 500-572°F), good dimension stability, low thermal linear expansion coefficient
• Excellent resistance to chemicals and aggressive agents, excellent resistance to thermal ageing. Compatible with NMP.
• ESD-safe material

Typical applications include handling of components in cleaning/chemical/assembly processes also at high temperature (soldering)
