Close-up of semiconductor wafer under precision testing equipment, representing high-purity sealing solutions for various environment and wafer fabrication processes.

At Katon®, we understand that the electronics, electrical, and semiconductor industries require the highest standards of reliability and precision. Our sealing solutions are engineered to withstand extreme conditions and provide dependable performance, ensuring your equipment operates smoothly. Whether it's for electrical applications,  semiconductor manufacturing equipment or post manufacturing pipelines, we’ve designed our products to meet the demanding needs of these critical industries.


Wet Process Etch

Wet etching processes in semiconductor manufacturing involve prolonged exposure to corrosive chemical baths, acids, and high-purity solvents. These harsh liquid environments present unique sealing challenges, requiring materials that offer excellent chemical resistance, purity, and mechanical stability. Katon® FFKM O-rings  are specifically engineered for use in wet process tools, including chemical baths, cleaning systems, and wafer etch tanks. Our compounds are designed to resist swelling, leaching, and degradation in acidic and oxidizing media—helping ensure equipment uptime, yield protection, and process purity.

Features and Benefits

  • Excellent chemical resistance to aggressive acids, bases, and oxidizers used in wet etch and cleaning processes
  • Low extractables and ion content to minimize contamination in high-purity environments
  • Outstanding dimensional stability and minimal swelling in prolonged liquid exposure
  • Compatible with common chemistries such as H₂SO₄, HCl, HNO₃, HF, SC1, SC2, and DI water
  • Reduced seal failure risk in static applications, tanks, baths, and spray systems
