PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) polymer is a family of Teflon and is a tough, flexible fluoropolymer. It has almost the same properties as PTFE; the difference is that PFA resin can be melted, whereas PTFE cannot. With exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and excellent electrical insulation properties, PFA stands as a top choice for demanding applications.
PFA resin is used in industries such as chemical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, wire and cable, Tube, Film, and LED cover production, among others. Its versatility and reliability make it a cornerstone of high-performance applications.
Peflon perfluoroalkoxy alkane polymer has three forms: semi-transparent pellet, Powder, Micro-Powder, and PFA Dispersion.
semi-transparent pellet used for PFA Teflon tubing, Liner, sheet, sealing, etc.
Micro-powder is used as a primer for powder coating, and suspension is used for nonstick coating.
“PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) offers exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature stability (up to 260°C), and excellent electrical properties. It’s ideal for demanding applications requiring purity and durability, such as in semiconductor, chemical processing, and medical industries. PFA provides a reliable solution for harsh environments.”

PFA resins excel in the chemical processing, semiconductor, medical, and electronic industries. Their superior chemical resistance, high-temperature stability, and purity make them ideal for critical applications. Used in pipes, wires, and labware, PFA ensures reliability in harsh environments.
PFA resin processing requires precise control due to its high melt viscosity. Techniques like extrusion, injection molding, and compression molding are used. Key factors include temperature management and avoiding degradation. Proper processing ensures PFA’s excellent properties are retained in the final product.
Heated PFA resin is placed into a mold and compressed to shape it.
Suitable for complex shapes or larger-sized FEP products
Peflon PFA is injected into molds, cooled, and solidified to produce various parts.
PFA Resin is preheated and placed into a chamber before being forced into a mold cavity under pressure. This process enables the creation of precise, complex shapes with excellent surface finishes.
PFA prepolymers are often blended with additives like fillers, plasticizers, and stabilizers to attain specific performance and application requirements.
Molten PFA resin is passed through roller equipment to form thin films or sheets.
Commonly used to produce FEP films, sheets, and expanded sheets
The PFA extrusion process is a commonly employed plastic processing method involving heating PFA material to a molten state at high temperatures and pressures.
