Carbon Dioxide cleaning (CO2 snow, Dry ice cleaning) has found since 1960¡¦s. It has been getting more and more important because of its characters, such as economy, easy-taken, safety and efficiency to be used on contaminations removal especially in semiconductor industry. In fact, CO2 cleaning is not only used in this field but also has been used in other fields like optical, medical and aerospace for quite a long time.
In U.S.A., UK, Germany, Japan and Korea, CO2 cleaning has become one of the engineer's choices in cleaning processes to reduce the costs and pollutions of using D.I. water and chemical solvents. ATEP has learned the CO2 cleaning technology and imported the CO2 cleaning units from Applied Surface Technologies (A.S.T.), U.S.A. since 2000. And we		Dr. Robert Sherman President of Applied Surface Technologies
		promote it here, more and more customers include those located in South-East Asia start using the CO2 cleaning. All they want is to improve the yields by way of this new cleaning method, and get more business advantages than their competitors do. ATEP is the exclusive agent of A.S.T. in the regions below, Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and South-East Asia. A.S.T.
has more than 20 years experience in CO2 cleaning research. All the units we import are 100% manufactured in U.S.A., and we get the technical supports from Dr. Robert Sherman, the president of A.S.T. This complete support is the foundation of the reason why we can promote the CO2 cleaning units and serve those who need this technology here.
