Micronova introduces new decontamination process

Torrance, CA

Micronova Manufacturing Inc. recently introduced a decontaminating procedure that the company says drastically reduces the ionic contaminant levels in its vinyl and polyethylene cleanroom tape. Testing, which was validated over several months through the Balazs Analytical Laboratory, resulted in sodium counts on processed vinyl tape as low as 3 parts per billion, and chloride counts as low as 5.6 parts per billion. An unprocessed roll of vinyl tape may have sodium and chloride readings as high as 60 parts per billion. On polyethylene tape, Micronova`s special processing technique resulted in counts as low as 0.79 parts per billion on sodium and 1.4 parts per billion on chloride. A patent is pending on the proprietary method, which is being implemented on all of the company`s CR 100 PC and PCX tapes sold for wafer box sealing, cleanroom packaging and labeling applications. — TGW
