WaferGrip™ Temporary Adhesive

WaferGrip adhesives use heat-activated Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) polymers to bond wafers and substrates temporarily, supporting wafer thinning, dicing, and lapping. These adhesives are available in Standard, Conductive, and High Temp formulations and three configurations: release paper for standard uses, Mylar™ for cutting applications, and double-sided Mylar™ for added protection. Precise bonding is achieved by heating WaferGrip with light pressure in a vacuum chamber for 30-60 seconds at 100°C–140°C. Removal involves Dynatex’s StripAid solvent. WaferGrip is highly resistant to chemicals like IPA and acetone, and it can be stored for 1.5 years under cool, dry conditions.

  • Made from heat-activated EVA polymers for temporary wafer bonding.
  • Available in Standard, Conductive, and High Temp formulations.
  • Offered in configurations: release paper, single or double-sided Mylar™.
  • Applied at 100°C–140°C using light pressure and a vacuum chamber.
  • Resistant to water, acetone, other chemicals, with a 1.5-year shelf life.
  • Removal is facilitated using Dynatex’s StripAid solvent.
