Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Armoloy coatings are non-outgassing, non-flaking, and stable under vacuum, making them suitable for Class 1–1000 cleanrooms and UHV applications. Their smooth, micro-cracked or nodular surfaces resist particle generation and help prevent contamination—an essential factor in front-end semiconductor processing and lithography equipment.
Armoloy coatings enhance the performance of wafer handling tools, vacuum chamber parts, precision guides, and actuating systems by providing low-friction movement, corrosion resistance, and surface protection. This ensures consistent tool performance in high-vacuum, high-temperature, and chemically aggressive environments while maintaining cleanliness standards critical to wafer fabrication and inspection.
