Certified high-purity tubing for the semiconductor industry

High-purity tubing for powerful microchips – APT establishes itself as a reliable partner in the core semicon segment.

The semiconductor industry is renowned for its stringent requirements for maximum purity and process stability, which is why high purity PFA tubing solutions and related products are of paramount importance for use in these sensitive areas. APT, based in Düsseldorf, Germany, manufactures high-purity tubing solutions made in Germany. 

The tubing is often used as a component in systems or as part of an assembly in modern chip factories, and its material properties ensure that application processes run smoothly. Microchips are at the heart of technical devices, and the quality of the chips must be 100 per cent right. Systems for semiconductor technologies must work efficiently in the manufacturing process. High-purity PFA tubing is ideal for applications where absolute purity and process stability are essential.

APT offers not only standardised solutions, but also custom-made plastic tubing made of fluoropolymers. For less sensitive areas within semiconductor technology, the two Masterflex Group subsidiaries Novoplast Schlauchtechnik and Masterflex also manufacture suitable product solutions. A key element of APT’s success is the cultivation of networks within the entire value chain. Giovanni Rossi, Segment Market Leader, plays a central role in this. His expertise helps APT to maintain and develop close relationships with partners and customers. 

APT goes beyond the production of high-purity PFA tubing and offers comprehensive consulting services. The company facilitates multi-party discussions and is available as a development partner. This customer-oriented approach and the high quality of its products make APT an indispensable partner in the semiconductor industry. Distributors, assemblers, system providers and chip manufacturers rely on APT to safely and reliably produce cost-effective semiconductors.  

Meet APT at ACHEMA 2024!

Advanced Polymer Tubing GmbH, a subsidiary of the Masterflex Group will be presenting high-purity tubing solutions at its brand-new stand at the leading Frankfurt trade fair ACHEMA.

We cordially invite you to meet APT and its experts in person at ACHEMA 2024, the leading trade fair for the process industry. From 10 to 14 June, we will be showcasing our latest high-purity tubing solutions in Hall 8.0, Stand L80. Interested visitors can request free tickets here.   

High-purity tubing is an essential component of high-quality production and is used, for example, in the biopharmaceutical and semiconductor industries. APT’s high-performance fluoroplastic tubing enables precise and leak-free media transfer, meets stringent purity requirements (e.g. for gas analysis), is resistant to stress cracking and chemicals, and can withstand extreme temperatures at high pressures, making it ideal for the most demanding applications.   

In addition, APT has its own in-house product development and system design department with associated tooling facilities to ensure the highest levels of quality and quality assurance. This is confirmed by the Teflon™ Diamond seal of approval. Teflon™ is a trademark of The Chemours Company FC, LLC used under licence by APT.  

Come and see for yourself the certified quality of APT and the extensive expertise of our representatives at stand L80 in Hall 8.0. We will also be happy to advise you on your individual requirements.

Making the (almost) impossible possible

With a view to the war in Ukraine, the corona-related lockdowns in China and the ongoing inflationary pressure on raw material and logistics costs, we find ourselves in times of particular economic uncertainty.

APT, the fluoropolymer specialist within the Masterflex Group, has nevertheless achieved the (almost) impossible: a strong first quarter and double-digit organic growth in a challenging market environment.

How was this achieved? Managing Director Martin Brück: “Well, by investing massively in our core competencies.”

Capacities in the extrusion sector were increased by around one fifth. In addition, the production capacity of shrink tubes was doubled by adding an additional shift.
New employees were hired in sales and production. In the shrink tubing department, working hours were changed to a two-shift system. A three-shift system is being planned due to very high demand.

Furthermore, the quality control of the products was further expanded by additional state-of-the-art inline X-ray measuring equipment and a close network was established with all raw material suppliers in order to remain constantly able to deliver despite all the upheavals.
Brück: “We have made the (almost) impossible possible and will continue our planned investments and measures undeterred this year in order to be able to supply our customers and business partners in the best possible way.”

Continue to accompany us on our successful path and follow our regular business updates.
