Product Description

Everflon™ PFA 403 is a general-purpose fluoroplastic resin available in pellet form. Compared with other grades of Everflon™ PFA, its most unique features are a relatively low flow rate, greatly increased flex life, and enhanced resistance to environmental stress-cracking over other Everflon™ PFA.

Everflon™ PFA 403 is preferred when extended service is required in hostile environments involving chemical, thermal, and mechanical stress.

Everflon™ PFA 403 is used when traditional extrusion and molding processes are required for producing products with the superior properties of a fluoroplastic resin. Compared to other thermoplastics, the high melt strength and thermal stability of Everflon™ PFA 403 can be used to improve processing rates.

Compared with other fluoroplastics, creep resistance at high service temperatures provides a superior balance and level of end-use properties. Everflon™ PFA 403 combines the processing ease of conventional thermoplastics with many properties similar to those of polytetrafluoroethylene.

Properly processed products made from neat Everflon™ PFA 403 resin provide the superior properties characteristic of fluoroplastic resins: chemical inertness, exceptional dielectric properties, heat resistance, toughness and flexibility, low coefficient of friction, non-stick characteristics, negligible moisture absorption, low flammability, performance at temperature extremes, and excellent weather resistance.

In a flame situation, products of Everflon™ PFA 403 resist ignition and do not promote flame spread. When ignited by flame fromother sources, their contribution of heat is very small and added at a slow rate with very little smoke.

Applications for Everflon™ PFA 403 include extruded tubing for use in handling aggressive fluids at high pressures; chemical linings for pipes used in the chemical processing industry; film for high flex service; and traditional extruded, injection-molded, or blowmolded articles requiring the unique performance of Everflon™ .

Everflon™ PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) fluoroplastics are available in pellet or powder form, and combine the processing ease of conventional thermoplastic resins with the high performance properties of Everflon™ PTFE.

Everflon™ PFA fluoroplastics are processed by conventional melt-extrusion techniques and by injection, compression, rotational, transfer and blow-molding processes. Everflon™ PFA fluoroplastics are ideal for wire coating and molding a wide variety of end use articles and components .

Products fabricated from genuine Everflon™ PFA are unaffected by most chemicals and feature superior electrical, low friction and mechanical properties and offer a wide service temperature range, up to 260°C (500°F).

Everflon™ PFA provides superior creep resistance at high temperatures, excellent low temperature toughness and exceptional flame resistance. Special grades of Everflon™ PFAhave been developed to meet the rigorous demands of the semiconductor industry for purity, low extractable levels and minimal outgassing.

Additional grades of Everflon™ PFA are available to support roto molding and other specialty applications.

Applications

Wire insulation, fittings, tubing, filtration housings, wafer carriers, pump housings, valve bodies, heat exchangers and other end use components requiring a high performance fluoroplastic material.
