MOIRANS, France, 2012-09-19 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Entegris, Inc. opened a new facility to provide specialized silicon and
diamond-like coatings to support Europe's semiconductor, industrial, and
plastics industries.

Located in the Techlid economic hub in Lyon, France near the heart of Europe's
center for nanotechnology activity and plastics production, the new Entegris
facility expands the Company's market leading capabilities in the U.S. and Asia
for high-purity Silicon and Diamond-like Carbon (UltraC(tm)) families of coatings.
Entegris Silicon coatings are high-purity, dense and micro-conformal coatings
with very low residual stress. The Company's UltraC coatings are extremely
smooth, highly lubricious, and are harder than tool steel and chrome. Both
families of coatings are highly resistant to corrosion.

To manufacture these coatings, the facility will use a proprietary Plasma
Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) process that ensures no change to
the hardness of the substrate, even to those processed at low temperatures.
These coatings are ideal for a variety of high purity processes and components
for such applications in plastic injection molding, metal forming, materials
handling, semiconductor processing chambers, and biomedical industries.

The new facility will also house the Company's European office to support the
sale of its market-leading line of POCO graphite and SUPERSiC(r) silicon carbide
products. For information, please contact Guillaume Charlet, Production and
Facility Manager at +33 4 72 52 00 40.
