HCl purifier

Designed to be installed in the flow train of the company's hydrogen chloride (HCl) bulk specialty gas system, the purifier delivers dry and consistently pure HCl into an electronics manufacturing facility. According to the manufacturer, the degree of dryness of HCl is considered critical to the quality of semiconductor devices, because moisture contamination at low parts-per-million levels in HCl can cause problems in the gas distribution system and in the manufacturing process. With a maximum operating pressure of 2000 psig at 50 degrees Celsius, the purifier is a 28-inch-long-by-4.5-inch-diameter vessel with 0.5-inch VCR inlet and outlet connections.

Sticky mat

The Sole Cleaner is a self-regenerating contamination-control sticky mat that removes particles from shoe soles and equipment as personnel enter the changing room or cleanroom. The product uses infrared beam technology to monitor the number of foot passes made on the mat surface, displaying this amount on an LED readout counter. When the total count exceeds the selected threshold, an indicator light activates and the transport system replaces the sticky film surface of the mat and resets the counter. Each standard 300-foot roll typically yields about 100 surface changes.
