Apizeon - First developed 80 years ago, the Apiezon range of High Vacuum Greases, Vacuum Sealants and Lubricants has a long and distinguished history during which it has earned its reputation as being one of the best brands on the market.

Manufactured by M&I Materials Ltd, the Apiezon range includes seven high vacuum greases which are hydrocarbon based, silicone-free and highly resistant to creep. These vacuum greases are suitable for use in a range of applications and at a variety of temperatures. They have had proven success around the world including use by NASA and the UK Military.

The Apiezon range also includes Apiezon AP201, which is the leading vapour booster pump fluid. Apiezon AP201 has been proven to be far superior to other competing, lower quality oils. Its superior stability and high degree of oxidation resistance make AP201 the ideal choice for rapidly achieving a higher ultimate vacuum.

The final products in the Apiezon family are the Apiezon Waxes and Q Compound. These products are globally renowned for their quality and versatility. They can be used as semi-permanent or permanent mounting media or vacuum sealants. Apiezon W Wax is also chemically resistant and has a successful track record as an etch resist product. The waxes are all easy to use and have powerful gettering qualities.

Apiezon products have an enviable track record in many industry and scientific research fields including aerospace, cryogenics, coating and R&D.

BellowsTech, LLC - specializes in the design and manufacture of precision edge welded metal bellows and assemblies, in a wide array of alloys and dimensional configurations; serving the high vacuum and related industries. Materials include Titanium, 316LSS, AM350SS, Inconel/Hastelly and Aluminum. Our production capabilities include a full range of diameters and thicknesses ranging from .394” (10mm) to 26” (660mm) in diameter, in materials .002” (.05mm) to .036” (.91mm) thick, and lengths up to 96” (244cm).

Edge welded bellows are very durable and offer a function unobtainable with any other technology known today. Bellows can flex considerably while maintaining true all-metal, hermetic sealing. The secret of a welded bellows flexibility is its construction of many very thin, washer-leaflets microwelded together in series to create an accordion-like tube. Thus the general envelope shape of edge welded bellows is a hollow round cylinder where the axis of the cylinder is the direction of most flex travel (axial stroke). However, due to its extreme flexibility a bellows can also flex in an angular way (bending) as well as allowing for parallel end-face to end-face shift (lateral motion).

For applications that require high quality, state-of-the-art Micro Fusion Joined edge welded bellows are more cost effective and functional than either Electron Beam or Laser Welded.

Each BellowsTech product can be custom designed to meet your exact requirements while exceeding your performance expectations.

SCAI is recognized for designing and introducing the cryogen-free cryopump in 1975, enabling low-cost, high volume commercial manufacturing of semiconductor and optical devices. Today, Marathon® CP cryopump systems are offered in a variety of sizes and configurations. They are designed to handle the diverse and demanding requirements of a broad range of vacuum and deposition technologies, while their pumping performance remains unsurpassed in the industry. The patented pneumatic actuator design allows them to be readily serviced without the need to break vacuum or remove the cryopump from the chamber, affording users maximum production up-time and low cost of ownership.

In addition to cryopumps, SHI Cryogenics Group manufactures both 4K and 10K cryocoolers, pulse tubes, shield coolers and laboratory cryostats for the semiconductor, research, optical coating and medical industries. As always, SCAI’s customers benefit from performance reliability, leading edge technology and a global sales and support network.

Vacuum Research started building vacuum valves in 1953, and vacuum valves are still an important part of the business.

In 1988, Vacuum Research began developing our vacuum gauge product line, which now includes Pirani, thermocouple, diaphragm and cold cathode instruments.

In 1998, Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps were added, with an ultimate pressure of 5 x 10-4 Torr, and capacities from 3 to 28 CFM; 6 to 48 m3/hr. The pumps are well suited for both roughing and foreline applications.

• Gate Valves; stainless steel, aluminum and mild steel up to 24 inch or ISO-600.
• Angle Valves; aluminum, stainless steel and mild steel up to 24 inch or ISO-600.
• Diaphragm Manometers 10-2 Torr to 1500 Torr.
• Pirani Gauges, 10-5 to 800 Torr.
• Rotary Vane Pumps 5 x 10-5 Torr ultimate pressure 3 to 28 CFM.
• Throttle Valves, stainless steel and aluminum, 2 inch to 16 inch, NW 50 to ISO-400.
