What is Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA)?
PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) polymer is a member of the Teflon™ family — a tough, flexible fluoropolymer. It shares almost all properties with PTFE, with one critical difference: PFA is melt-processable. Exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance and excellent electrical insulation make it a top choice for the most demanding applications.
PFA resin is widely used in chemical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, wire & cable, tubing, film and LED cover production. Versatility and reliability make it a cornerstone of high-performance engineering.

How Processors Convert Peflon PFA Into Parts
PFA resin becomes a finished part through one of six processing methods below — precise control is essential due to PFA’s high melt viscosity. Temperature management and degradation prevention preserve PFA’s properties in the processor’s finished part.
Compression Molding
Processors compression-mold thick, complex parts with excellent dimensional stability — sheets, rods and valve components for chemical, electrical and semiconductor equipment.
Injection Molding
Processors injection-mold precise, repeatable complex shapes — fittings, pump parts, valve seats. Excellent surface finish for critical fluid-handling systems. See our PFA injection molding guide.
Transfer Molding
Processors transfer-mold small, detailed parts with uniform density and smooth surfaces — O-rings, seals and precision lab components.
Electrostatic Coating
Processors electrostatically spray PFA micro-powder onto metal or glass to create seamless non-stick, corrosion-resistant layers for tanks, stirrers, reactors and molds.
Calendering
Processors calender PFA using heated rollers to produce thin, uniform films and laminated sheets — PFA film, composite layers and protective coatings with optical clarity.
Melt Extrusion
Processors melt-extrude PFA — the most common method for tubing, wire coating and films — molten PFA through a die creates continuous profiles with uniform thickness.
PFA Chemical Resistance
PFA is inert to virtually all industrial chemicals across a wide temperature range — from cryogenic conditions to 260°C continuous use — which is why it’s specified for high-purity fluid handling where failure isn’t an option.
| Chemical | Class | Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Sulfuric acid (98%) | Mineral acid | Excellent |
| Hydrofluoric acid (49%) | Mineral acid | Excellent |
| Aqua regia | Oxidizing acid mixture | Excellent |
| Sodium hydroxide (50%) | Strong base | Excellent |
| Tetrahydrofuran, DMF, chlorinated hydrocarbons | Organic solvents | Excellent |
| Elemental fluorine, molten alkali metals | — | Not recommended (known exceptions) |
PFA’s ultra-high-purity (UHP) grades meet SEMI F-57 with extractables below 10 ppb, and satisfy USP Class VI requirements — the chemical-resistance profile above holds across that same purity range, which is why PFA is the default choice for semiconductor wet-process and high-purity fluid-handling equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions buyers ask most before ordering PFA material — covering composition, comparison to other fluoropolymers and grade selection.
What is PFA material made of?
PFA is a perfluoroalkoxy fluoropolymer, copolymerized from tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether (PAVE) — combining high purity with melt processability.
What’s the difference between PFA vs PTFE?
Both are fluoropolymers, but PFA is melt-processable and more flexible, while PTFE offers slightly higher chemical resistance but cannot be molded by conventional melt processing.
How does PFA vs FEP compare?
PFA withstands higher temperatures (up to 260°C) and offers better mechanical strength. FEP is easier to process but less heat-resistant.
How does PFA differ from ETFE and PVDF?
PFA offers superior purity and chemical resistance. ETFE is stronger but less inert; PVDF has good mechanical strength but lower temperature tolerance.

FEP
Need easier processing than PFA at a lower 200°C service ceiling? Peflon supplies FEP resin, powder and dispersion grades.
PCTFE
Need near-zero gas permeation beyond PFA’s barrier? PCTFE is the higher-barrier fluoropolymer for cryogenic and pharma packaging.
What is PTFE
Need PTFE’s slightly higher chemical resistance and don’t require melt-processability? Compare grades before you switch.
PVDF
Need higher mechanical strength at a lower temperature ceiling? PVDF trades some heat resistance for toughness and cost.
PTFE Dispersion
Already sourcing PFA dispersion? Peflon also supplies PTFE dispersion for coating and impregnation on the same production line.
PTFE Micropowder
Need a finer particle size than PFA micro powder for additive or thin-film use? Peflon supplies PTFE micro powder grades too.
