  • Patent number: 9061449
    Abstract: A process for producing a fluororesin sheet containing a filler includes a step of rolling a sheet-forming resin composition including a fluororesin, a filler and a processing aid at a roll temperature of from 40 to 80° C. The processing aid includes at least 30% by mass of a petroleum hydrocarbon solvent having a fractionating temperature of not higher than 120° C. based on 100% by mass of the amount of the processing aid. The fluororesin sheet so produced provides high stress relaxation properties along with high hermetic sealing properties even when the content of the fluororesin is low and the content of the filler is high.

  • Patent number: 8888106
    Abstract: In a vacuum gate valve, a seal member for sealing a gate opening part is bonded to an outer edge part of a planar seal plate that is disposed in such a manner that the planar seal plate is opposed to a valve seat surface of the gate opening part and comes into contact with the valve seat surface. The seal member includes a vacuum seal part that is located on a side farther from the gate opening part and maintains the sealability of the gate opening part when the gate opening part is closed, and also includes a radical seal part that is located on a side closer to the gate opening part and that prevents the seal member from being affected by a treatment gas in the gate opening part when the gate opening part is closed. The vacuum seal part is made of a rubber elastic body, and the radical seal part is configured by providing a radical resistant body that is provided with an excellent radical resistance on the rubber elastic body.

  • Patent number: 8608856
    Abstract: A sealing part that is inexpensive and enable excellent durability to be secured without the need for a predetermined sealing space as would be required for a double sealing structure. A sealing part seals an inside of a reduced pressure vessel from an outside, in which a high-elasticity polymeric material-eroding eroding substance is present and which is comprised of a substrate processing apparatus carrying out predetermined processing on a substrate housed in the reduced pressure vessel. The sealing part has a radical sealing member and a vacuum sealing member. The radical sealing member is disposed on an inside side of the reduced pressure vessel and is resistant to the eroding substance. The vacuum sealing member is made of the high-elasticity polymeric material and is disposed on an outside side of the reduced pressure vessel. At least one refuge space is formed through at least part of the radical sealing member and at least part of the vacuum sealing member being separated from one another.

  • Patent number: 8596870
    Abstract: A dust seal is provided with a tubular fitting portion, a bush end surface abutting portion, a lip portion and a sealing projection integrally formed. The sealing projection is formed to project in an axially opposite direction to the lip portion from a radial inner section of the bush end surface abutting portion and abuts against a chamfered portion of a bush in such a manner as to overlap the chamfered portion. Therefore, at the time of supplying lubricant between the bush and a connecting pin, the sealing projection can prevent a part of the lubricant from entering between an end surface of the bush and the bush end surface abutting portion of the dust seal to maintain a sealed state therebetween. In consequence, the dust seal can be stably held on the inner peripheral side of a boss member, preventing the pulling-out of the dust seal.
