PFA LINED BALL VALVE - FLUONICS

LINING MATERIALS

PFA

PFA exhibits thermal characteristic like to PTFE, being able to withstand super low to high temperature (260 °C Maximum temp, for continous use), it is also transparent and mechanically strong under high temperature.It is easily workable beside applicable with extrusion molding to the same degree as general thermoset plastic.It is used where purity is important, such a semiconductor wafer baskets, piping couplings and non-corrosive linings. PFA has better mechanical strength at high temperatures than FEP, and excellent moldability for easy processing by extrusion, compression, blow, transfer, and injection molding methods. Due to the high bonding strength of the carbon, flourine and oxygen atoms, PFA demonstrates nearly the same outstanding capabilities as PTFE in temperatures ranging from -200 °C to +260  °C.

FEP

FEP is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. FEP consist of carbon atoms and fluorine atoms, as does PTFE, and has a molecular structure in which one of the fluorine atoms bonded to the carbon atoms. FEP has a lower melt viscosity than PTFE and can be processed like other molten thermoplastic resins by extrusion, transfer, injection, and compression molding. Because the bonding energy between its carbon and fluorine atoms is so high, and because the carbon chain is completely surrounded by fluorine atoms. FEP fluorocarbon polymer retains excellent thermal, electrical, and chemical stability. Therefore, it shows high performance in electrical, chemical, and medical applications in temperatures ranging from extremely low to extremely high (-200 °C ~ +200  °C / -328 °F ~ +329 °F).

FTFE

The fluorine atoms completely cover the carbon chain backbone and protect the carbon-carbon from attack. The fluorine atoms are also responsible for the low surface energy and exceptional frictional characteristics of PTFE. Because of very high melt viscosity , PTFE does not flow above its melting point. It requires special polymer processing like paste extrusion, compression molding and sintering. Among all the fluoroplastics products, PTFE offers the highest heat resistance at 260 °c (maximum temp for continuous use). It is not corroded by most chemical and has good electrical insulation and dielectric characteristics. Moreover, it has a unique non-stick property and the lowest coefficient of friction amongst solids. It is the most widely used fluoroplastics, now found in O-rings, gaskets, bearings, tube, wiring, hot plates and irons because of its non-stick property, as well as chemical tank linings.
