About Airgard
Airgard was a leading manufacturer of pollution abatement equipment for the semiconductor industry, specialising in advanced point-of-use scrubber systems designed to enhance fab safety, reduce downtime, and improve process performance. Founded in 1988, Airgard developed innovative semiconductor scrubber technology engineered to support some of the industry's most demanding manufacturing environments. Airgard's expertise in semiconductor pollution control, process exhaust treatment, and hazardous gas abatement helped manufacturers maintain reliable, efficient, and compliant operations.
At the core of the Airgard portfolio were patented point-of-use gas scrubbers designed to minimise maintenance requirements and virtually eliminate scrubber-related process interruptions. Combining proprietary scrubbing technology, an automated gas inlet plunger, and custom-engineered scrubber inlet designs, Airgard systems were tailored to the specific requirements of each application. Whether supporting epitaxy, metal etch, poly etch, or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes, Airgard scrubbers delivered exceptional process stability, maximum equipment uptime, and long-term operational reliability.
Today, Airgard's legacy of innovation in semiconductor abatement systems, gas scrubber technology, and high-purity process exhaust treatment continues as part of Exentec, bringing customers expanded capabilities, global resources, and decades of proven engineering expertise.
