Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) tubing represents a pinnacle in fluoropolymer technology, offering exceptional chemical resistance, high purity, and thermal stability. Derived from the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkoxy alkane, PFA tubing boasts properties that make it highly desirable for various industrial applications.
With outstanding resistance to a wide array of chemicals, broad temperature tolerance, and excellent mechanical properties, PFA tubing is a preferred choice in industries such as chemical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, and biotechnology. Its versatility, reliability, and purity make PFA tubing indispensable for critical fluid handling and containment tasks across diverse applications.
Fluoropolymer is a large plastic family that majorly consists of fluorinated polymer members including PFA, PTFE, FEP, PVDF, etc. Most people know PFA, short for perfluoroalkoxy and best known for PTFE or Teflon®, as it is the nonstick coating on the cooking pan. Besides the application on food processing,
PFA is also used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry for its low friction coefficient, temperature resistance, and chemical resistant characteristics. PFA is also extremely flexible and resistant to weathering. As a result, it is often made into tubing for fluid processing units, especially when a certain pressure/temperature level is involved. BUENO is a trusted manufacturer of Fluoropolymer tubing, PFA tubing and Teflon® tubing. Please check out the specifications below.
