PFA is a relatively new kind of fluorine plastic in China. Its processing conditions are relatively strict, but its performance is excellent. It is mainly used in the chemical industry with high temperature resistance and high corrosion resistance and the fluorine plastic wire and cable industry.
PFA in Teflon is a kind of Teflon fluorine resin, which is tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkoxy vinyl ether copolymer, also known as soluble polytetrafluoroethylene, also known as perfluoroalkoxy resin. Now the little sister of Dan Kai Teflon tube will take you to know the performance and application of PFA:
What is 1.: Teflon PFA
PFA resins are relatively new melt-processable fluoroplastics.
PFA has a melting point of about 580F and a density of 2.13- 2.16g/cc (grams per cubic centimeter). PFA is similar to PTFE and FEP, but above 302T, the mechanical properties are slightly better than FEP, and can be used at temperatures up to 500F, and its chemical resistance is equivalent to PTFE. The product forms of PFA are granular products for molding and extrusion, powder products for rotational molding and coating, and semi-finished products are films, plates, rods and pipes. The PFA resins distributed in the U.S. market include Teflon of DUPOut, Neoflon of Daikin, Hthen of Ansimont and Hostafl of HOechst Celanese. These Dankai resins can be customized according to the raw material grades specified by customers. The use of PFA is similar to FEP.
2. PFA performance:
1. It is a copolymer of a small amount of perfluoropropyl perfluorovinyl ether and polytetrafluoroethylene. The melt cohesiveness is enhanced, the solution viscosity is reduced, and the performance is unchanged compared with PTFE. This kind of resin can be directly processed into products by ordinary thermoplastic molding methods.
2, long-term use temperature -80 -- 260 degrees, has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance to all chemicals, friction coefficient in the lowest plastic, there are good electrical properties, its electrical insulation is not affected by temperature, "plastic king" said, fire V0 level.
3, its chemical resistance is similar to polytetrafluoroethylene, better than vinylidene fluoride.
4, its creep resistance and compression strength are better than PTFE, high tensile strength, elongation up to 100-300%. Dankai has good dielectric properties and excellent radiation resistance. Flame retardant.
5, non-toxic: with physiological inertia, can be implanted in the human body.
3. PFA Applications:
1, suitable for the production of corrosion-resistant parts, wear parts, seals, insulation parts and medical equipment parts.
2, high temperature wire, cable insulation, anti-corrosion equipment, sealing materials, pump valve bushing, and chemical containers.
Molding performance 1. Crystalline material, moisture absorption is small. It can be processed into products by common thermoplastic processing methods.
3, poor liquidity, easy to decompose, decomposition of corrosive gas. It is advisable to strictly control the molding temperature not to exceed 475 degrees, the mold should be heated to 150-200 degrees, and the resistance of the gating system to the material flow should be small.
4. Translucent pellets, injection molding, extrusion molding. The molding temperature is 350-400 degrees, and more than 475 degrees is easy to cause discoloration or bubbles. And note that demoulding will be more difficult.
5, because the molten material has a corrosive effect on the metal, long-term production, the mold needs electroplating chromium treatment.
The chemical properties of PFA, FEP and PTFE are similar, but Dankai FEP can only be used below 200 degrees, and PTFE cannot be injected.
It can be seen that PFA is a relatively new kind of fluorine plastic in China. Its processing conditions are relatively strict, but its performance is excellent. It is mainly used in the chemical industry with high temperature resistance and high corrosion resistance and the fluorine plastic wire and cable industry.
