Fluon^® PFA (or perfluoroalkoxy) is a fluoropolymer with excellent thermal and chemical resistance.

Fluon^® PFA is similar in composition to the fluoropolymers PTFE and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene), sharing low coefficient of friction, non-stick properties and non-reactivity characteristics. Fluon^® PFA resists UV light and has better heat resistance, higher melt strength and can be used within a temperature range of -200ºC to 260ºC.

Fluon^® PFA also offers stability at high processing temperatures, excellent crack and stress resistance whilst maintaining more than ten times the flex life of FEP. A low dielectric constant allows Fluon^® PFA to be used in semiconductor manufacturing and many electrical applications. Fluon^® PFA coating is ideal when extended services are required in hostile environments including chemical, thermal and mechanical stress.

As with other thermoplastic resins Fluon® PFA can be extruded, injection moulded, blow moulded and transfer moulded for applications such as tubing, receptacles, lining and wire coating.
