PFA Tubing
Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) is a fully fluorinated translucent polymer. It has the lowest friction coefficient of all polymers, which makes the material highly resistant to wear and reduces potential replacement costs. PFA tubing is nearly inert to all chemicals and solvents, and it does not interact with the vast majority of chemicals, including bases, acids, or solvents. PFA is also temperature resistant, making it ideal for use in high-temperature environments where FEP tubing can not be utilized. PFA tubing has great thermal stability from -60°C to 260°C without degrading. PFA also has extremely low dielectric constant and dielectric dissipation.
Features & Benefits
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Wide range of operating temperature
- Non-stick properties
- Excellent insulation material
- Long product life
- Good resistance to alkalis, acids and chemicals
- Long continuous lengths of tubing available
- Custom sized available
Applications
- High-purity, corrosive chemical handling
- PFA tubing is designed to use with PFA tube fittings or other types of connection ends such as metal flanges.
- Excellent performance with low surface tension chemistry
- Semiconductor applications including photolithography, CMP, bulk chemical delivery, and wet etch and clean processes
FEP Tubing
Flourinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) has excellent electrical properties like PTFE because FEP consists of only fluorine and carbon atoms. The chemical resistance capability and mechanical characteristics are the same as PFA, however the heat resistance is lower than PFA.
Features & Benefits
- Low gas permeability
- Low coefficient of friction
- Good Corrosion Resistance
- Good dielectric strength
- Good Chemical resistant
- Good transmission of ultraviolet rays
Applications
- Aerospace &Transportation Technology
- Electronics, Components & Insulators
- Chemical & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
- Food Processing
- Environmental Sciences
- Air Sampling
- Fluid Transfer Devices
- Water Processing Systems
