Semitron® MPR1000 is a breakthrough engineering material developed for semiconductor applications and more, but specifically for use in vacuum chamber applications.
According to Quadrant EPP global market segment manager Scott Williams, the new material will fill the performance gap left by traditional materials.
“Over the years, increasing electrode power levels, combined with aggressive plasma chemistries, led engineers to turn to expensive ceramics or breakage-prone quartz as their only options,” says Williams.
Utilizing advanced technology, the engineers at Quadrant, the world's largest manufacturer of machinable plastics, developed Semitron® MPR1000 to be the go-to engineering plastic material option for plasma-based applications.

Valve Basics: Electric Actuator Controls
Electric valve actuators control the opening and closing of valves. With a motor drive that provides torque to operate the valve, these actuators are frequently used on multi-turn valves such as gate or globe and also on ball, plug and other quarter-turn valves.
