Company profile
KTSEAL CO., LTD. manufactures rubber sealing products to high standards and has its own technology for manufacturing KT-series FFKM O-RING products. Its KT-series FFKM O-RING products are intended for environments requiring resistance to acid, alkali and high temperature together with high cleanliness. KTSEAL CO., LTD. accepts small orders and provides customized solutions and service for unique sales and technical issues with professional salespeople and technicians available 24 hours. The company serves semiconductor, optoelectronics, petrochemical, printing, textile and vacuum industries and specializes particularly in semiconductor, optoelectronic and vacuum applications. KTSEAL CO., LTD. develops and produces O-RING products with higher temperature resistance and higher chemical resistance to meet the needs of high-precision industries. KTSEAL CO., LTD. describes itself as a major global supplier of synthetic-rubber O-RING products and pursues high-quality products with competitive pricing. For compound and material testing and analysis, KTSEAL CO., LTD. maintains an analytical laboratory with raw-material suppliers that is recognized by the Taiwan laboratory association and a United States laboratory association and undergoes strict training and testing every year. The laboratory can perform rubber FTIR, T.G.A and OVEN work as well as tests for hardness, pressure or tension and compression set. Its main production base is concentrated in Hsinchu Industrial Park in a 10,000-square-foot facility, supplying seals to users in Taiwan and worldwide and producing perfluoroelastomer products in a cleanroom. Production scheduling is designed for flexible elastomer manufacturing, allowing multiple products to be made in the same production center while maintaining stable product quality. Incoming raw materials are inspected by the company laboratory against quality requirements, and production equipment includes multiple compression-molding systems and injection-molding technology, with equipment and tools operated according to elastomer standards. Quality controls include a clean factory and equipment for contamination requirements, particle controls beginning before raw-material receipt, measures to avoid polymer contamination during transportation, environmentally controlled storage and IQC inspection of incoming materials. Mixing and preforming are performed in clean work areas; after primary curing in vacuum deflashing equipment and secondary curing and inspection, products undergo UPDI cleaning in a Class 10,000 clean room and are packaged to customer requirements under OQC. KTSEAL CO., LTD. lists qualified-supplier status for semiconductor and optoelectronic plants among its R&D results, together with a 2008 Taiwan patent for a joined-gasket mold, a 2009 Taiwan patent for a large-size gasket mold and a Taiwan patent for an O-ring preform.
Exhibits
KTSEAL CO., LTD. supplies O-RING, X-RING, V-RING, oversized O-RING, rubber strip, rubber sheet, oil seal, gasket, suction cup and special products. Available materials include FFKM perfluoroelastomer, FKM(VITON), AFLAS, SILICONE(VMQ), F-SILICONE(FVMQ), EPDM, NBR, HNBR, encapsulated O-RING in PFA/FEP and PTFE. KTSEAL CO., LTD. accepts customization for international O-Ring specifications and special specifications. KT8317 and KT8307 are hardness-75 FFKM compounds available in white and black; the yellowish-white grade is described as the company's most widely used semiconductor model for processes avoiding carbon-black contamination and for addressing most chemical exposure and high-vacuum particle-contamination issues in chemical and semiconductor use. KT8517 and KT8507 are hardness-75 white and black FFKM compounds for processes avoiding carbon-black contamination, described as widely used and competitively priced for addressing corrosion from most chemicals and particle-contamination issues in chemical and semiconductor applications. KT8217 and KT8207 are hardness-75 white and black FFKM compounds used in pharmaceutical production processes that avoid carbon-black contamination, with chemical-corrosion resistance and performance in high-temperature steam, and are stated to be usable across semiconductor processes including CVD and ETCH. KT8118, KT8108, KT8116 and KT8106 are white and black FFKM compounds with hardness values of 60 and 80 for pharmaceutical production and processes avoiding carbon-black contamination, addressing chemical corrosion, sealing of chemical solutions and most chemical and high-vacuum particle-contamination issues in semiconductor use. The KTseal perfluoroelastomer is listed with the common or trade name KTseal, the chemical name Perfluoro-elastomer and the ASTM D1418 designation FFKM, with density 2.01 gm/cm3, a Shore A hardness range of 65 to 95A, maximum tensile strength of 2,000 psi and a recommended maximum use temperature of 290°C. The property table rates permeability C, electrical resistance B, contamination resistance C-B, adhesion C-B, friction resistance B, flex resistance A, tear resistance C-B, impact resistance B, deformability A, elasticity A, rebound A, stress release A, low-temperature toughness D, heat-aging resistance A and flame resistance A. For resistance to listed substances, the table gives A for weather, oxygen and ozone, B for radiation, A for water, B for steam, A/A for acid in diluted and concentrated conditions, and A for oil, gasoline and kerosene, benzene and hydrocarbons, animal and vegetable oils, oxidizing solvents, HALOGEN solvents, alcohol, synthetic lubricants, silicates and phosphates. The same material notes explain that higher density uses more rubber material, stable tensile strength as temperature rises indicates that other mechanical properties can also remain stable, and strong rupture and tear resistance support durability where physical abuse is expected. They also state that lower permanent deformation improves structural integrity and dimensional retention, better elasticity reduces internal heat rise under flexing or dynamic conditions, stronger creep resistance can extend product life, stress-release resistance is necessary for seals and repeatedly loaded products, and low-temperature flexibility is important for many vibration-damping devices. The material table defines A as best, B as average, C as poor and D as not recommended. Additional notes state that friction-resistance applications span broad temperatures and friction modes such as scraping and impact, stress-crystallizing rubber can provide better durability under strong deformation, higher deformability indicates higher fatigue resistance under flexing, and oil resistance is primarily a surface effect.
