FluoroFlask® technology provides a high-purity, robust fluid packaging solution using an economic, high-performance fluoropolymer material as an alternative to conventional multilayer bladder products. FluoroFlask® products are produced through a proprietary process that manipulates fluoropolymers into thin-walled containers with various shapes and sizes. This allows elimination of post-mold welding and improves efficiency over conventional multilayer products. FluoroFlask® products offer advantages for applications in semiconductors, chemicals, biopharmaceuticals, and drugs due to their chemical inertness, low permeability, high purity, and ability to withstand temperature cycling.

samples.
1. No organic impurities have been leached from the coupons based on the results.
2. The samples and the blank contained more impurities compared to Day 0. Cyclohexanone is
likely reacting with something in the environment where the samples have been stored.
3. The shape of the mounds around 22-23 minutes looked a little different between samples.
However, they contained the same impurities.

PGMEA Comparison
There are some minor differences between the coupon samples and the control. However, we are not
convinced that the coupons were shedding out organics—at least not up to this point (Day 60). No new
organic species were found in the coupon samples that are foreign to the control sample.
1. The coupon samples contained roughly 3 times the amount of moisture found in the control.
The coupons may be attracting moisture or releasing it.
2. 1,2-Ethanediol, diacetate peak in the control was smaller than the ones from the coupon
samples. We are not sure about this one. We think this is caused by the moisture found in the
samples.
