Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA)
Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) is a fully fluorinated translucent, slightly flexible polymer with a low coefficient of friction and outstanding antistick properties. This tough material resists stress cracking and attack by nearly all chemicals and solvents. PFA is also temperature resistant, making it ideal for use in both high and low temperature environments. PFA is chemically stable and has excellent dielectric strength.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) is a fully fluorinated translucent, slightly flexible polymer with a low coefficient of friction and outstanding antistick properties. This tough material resists stress cracking and attack by nearly all chemicals and solvents. PFA is also temperature resistant, making it ideal for use in both high and low temperature environments. PFA is chemically stable and has excellent dielectric strength.
PFA is a partially fluorinated copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), the base material for PTFE, with a perfluoroalkoxy monomer (PFA). In the case of PFA the TFE and PFA do not combine in a ratio of 1:1 to give the straight -A-B-A-B-A-B- format, but combine in a ratio of 1:0.01 to give a copolymer of the format -A-A-A-A-A-A-B-A-A-A-A-A-A-B where there are approximately 100 A monomers for every B monomer.
