Material Feature Overview
ƒ
ƒ
H.P. PFA (High Purity Perfluoroalkoxy) has the highest molecular weight
available.
ƒ
ƒ
Withstands corrosive surfactants for longer periods of time than
standard products.
ƒ
ƒ
Lowest level of extractables.
PFA
ƒ
ƒ
PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) - When temperature and clarity are both factors, PFA
is the resin of choice, offering the high-temperature attributes of PTFE, long
continuous lengths, and almost as much clarity as FEP.
ƒ
ƒ
High purity resins available.
ƒ
ƒ
Low permeability.
Fully Conductive and Conductive
I.D. tubing in PTFE and PFA Full
Conductive are available
FEP
ƒ
ƒ
FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) offers the highest clarity in the fluoropolymer market and is a close second
to PTFE in chemical resistance.
ƒ
ƒ
FEP is available in long, continuous lengths (1,000 feet and longer) , unlike PTFE, where the lengths range from
200
to 1,000 feet depending on size and wall thickness.
ƒ
ƒ
PTFE (Polytetrafluorethylene) has the lowest coefficient of friction of any material known to man.
ƒ
ƒ
PTFE tubing features unmatched chemical resistance and a non-stick surface that facilitates flow and eliminates
media buildup.
ƒ
ƒ
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) offers a combination of properties beneficial for use in many critical applications
requiring chemical resistance with low permeability.
ƒ
ƒ
PVDF exhibits low extractable levels while providing high mechanical strength and abrasion resistance.
ƒ
ƒ
ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) has the best abrasion resistance in the fluoropolymer family.
