Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for CL102?
A: The CAS Number for Semiconductor Ultra-Low Temperature Control Perfluoropolyether CL102 is 1323332-72-9.
Q2: Is CL102 suitable for direct contact with silicon wafers or photomasks?
A: Yes — CL102 has been tested per SEMI F57 and shows no measurable extractables (ICP-MS detection limit < 0.1 ppq) or surface migration after 72-hour static exposure at −85 °C.
Q3: How does CL102 compare to Krytox GPL 10X series in semiconductor applications?
A: CL102 offers a significantly lower pour point (−90 °C vs. −70 °C), lower vapor pressure (10× less at 25 °C), and absence of ether linkage hydrolysis risk — making it preferred for UHV and cryo-lithography where long-term stability and zero volatility are critical.
Q4: Does CL102 require special handling or storage conditions?
A: Store unopened in original container at 15–25 °C, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. No inert atmosphere required — CL102 is hydrolytically stable and insensitive to ambient humidity.
Q5: Is CL102 registered under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) or USP Class VI?
A: CL102 is not intended for medical device or pharmaceutical use. It is classified exclusively for industrial semiconductor thermal management and carries no USP or MDR certification — however, full extractables testing data is available upon NDA.
