PFA Sheets (12" x 12")

ONLINE INQUIRY
Catalog Number ACMA00045104
Description PFA is a modified version of PTFE, except it is optically clear and has a higher tensile strength. Similar to PTFE and FEP, PFA exhibits a low coefficient of friction and can be used for cryogenic applications. It is similar in clarity to FEP, but the upper use temperature is the same as PTFE (5000F). PFA is preferred for use where purity and long life are important considerations. It can withstand higher mechanical and thermal stresses than FEP and exhibits excellent stress crack resistance.
The low friction, non-stick, low moisture absorption, and especially non-leaching properties of PFA make it the material of choice in high purity applications. These include pharmaceutical and semiconductor manufacturing, laboratory equipment, sample testing, environmental sample analyses.
The excellent weatherability of PFA is related to its unmatched resistance to chemical attack, and almost no susceptibility to thermal cycling below 500 F.

Custom Q&A

What are the applications of PFA plastic?

PFA plastic is commonly used in industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, laboratory equipment, and environmental sample analyses.

What are the properties of PFA plastic?

PFA plastic exhibits properties such as low friction, non-stick surface, low moisture absorption, excellent chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, and stress crack resistance.

What is the difference between PFA and PTFE?

PFA and PTFE are both fluoropolymers, but PFA is a modified version of PTFE that is optically clear, has higher tensile strength, and is melt-processable using conventional injection molding and screw extrusion techniques.

What is the maximum temperature PFA can withstand?

PFA can withstand temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).

Why is PFA preferred for certain applications?

PFA is preferred for applications where purity and long life are important considerations, as it can withstand higher mechanical and thermal stresses and exhibits excellent stress crack resistance.
