Teflon^® PFA is a perfluoroalkoxy copolymer resin available as pellets, powder or as stabilised aqueous dispersions. Applications for the family of resins include melt extrusion, injection moulding, transfer moulding, blow moulding, rotational moulding, coating, and impregnating.

End products of Teflon^® PFA and Teflon^® FEP are known for their:

• Excellent chemical resistance
• Superior electrical properties
• High service temperatures of up to 260°C

 In addition, Teflon^® PFA and Teflon^® FEP provide:

• Superior creep resistance at high temperatures
• Excellent low-temperature toughness
• Exceptional flame resistance

Teflon^® PFA and Teflon^® FEP combines the processing ease of conventional thermoplastic resins with the excellent properties of Teflon® polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
