Asahi Glass Co. Fluon? PFA P-830UP PFA Perfluoropolymer
Subcategory: Fluoropolymer; PFA; Polymer; Thermoplastic
Material Notes:
Fluon?PFA is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (C2F4) and perfluoroalkoxyethylene, which has excellent chemical, electrical, mechanical and surface properties. PFA retains many inherent characteristics and similar properties of PTFE but can be processed using conventional thermoplastic techniques, such as extrusion molding, injection molding, blow molding, or electrostatic powder coating. And Fluon?PFA can be used in a wide range of temperatures from extremely low to high temperatures (260?C at the maximum) without losing its superior properties.
