Kimura® K13X

Kimura™ K13X is a unique material specifically developed by Perlast to offer a step-change in sealing performance, which supports the continued drive towards lower feature sizes.

Kimura™ K13X is NOT a perfluoroelastomer or any other standard type of elastomer material. It is a new breed of elastomer and outperformed every existing material in numerous customer trials in plasma etch environments.

Kimura™ K13X utilizes a controlled molecular architecture which means that it is self-reinforcing and has no need for fillers of any kind. This material breaks new ground in elastomer technology, surpassing what has previously been achievable.

 

Key attributes:

  • Exceptionally pure - does not cause particulation
  • Outstanding plasma resistance
  • Exceptionally low plasma etch rates
  • Excellent mechanical properties
  • Ultra-low outgassing & permeation
  • Low thermal expansion
  • Retro-fits existing grooves/glands (inc. FKM)
  • Low adhesion (reduced sticking)
  • Low friction, high strength & high modulus - ideal for constant force dynamic applications
