Family of products for ultrapure water

SYGEF Ultra

Designed to support future-ready chip manufacturing, SYGEF Ultra is the advanced high-purity PEEK piping solution for (hot) ultrapure water transport in semiconductor fabs.

(H)UPW Transport

SYGEF Ultra is a high-performance piping system designed for (hot) ultrapure water applications in advanced semiconductor manufacturing (<10nm). Manufactured from high purity PEEK, it combines excellent leach-out behavior with a non-fluorinated material approach - helping semiconductor manufacturers meet stringent purity targets and evolving regulatory expectations. The system excels with fast rinse-up, reliable long-term operation, and consistent high purity performance. Delivered as part of GF’s pre-fabrication approach, SYGEF Ultra enables reliable installation and controlled system quality in demanding fab environments.
