Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Named process-line chemistries (metal-replacement family) | Wet chlorine, plating solutions, acidic waste, demineralized water, sulfuric/hydrofluoric/nitric acid, oxidizers, caustics, solvents, halogens | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Warranty | 3-year warranty across the metal-replacement valve families | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Weight comparison vs metal | ~1/16th the weight of a comparable metal valve | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
Demineralized water and semiconductor acidic waste are both named process chemistries in this same document — a thermoplastic ball valve on a fab's ultra-pure or acid-waste line isn't picked for weight savings alone, it's picked because it doesn't leach the ionic contamination a metal valve's corrosion products would.
