Syensqo (Solvay Specialty Polymers) Hyflon® PFA M640 Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Fluoropolymer; Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA); Polyperfluoroalkoxyethylene, Molded/Extruded

Material Notes: Hyflon® PFA is a unique family of semi-crystalline, melt processable perfluoropolymers which combine excellent mechanical characteristics to unique properties such as chemical inertness, heat resistance, inherent flame resistance, low surface energy, and exceptional dielectric properties. Hyflon® PFA resins have been designed to retain their properties over a wide range of temperatures from cryogenic to 250-260°C (482-500°F) and are the material of choice in applications such as linings in the Chemical Process Industry, specialty cables, semiconductor industry, aerospace, and other challenging industries.

Hyflon® PFA M640 is a high melt flow rate multi-purpose resin designed for pipe, cable, and stock shapes extrusion, injection, compression, and transfer molding. Hyflon® PFA M640 has obtained UL758 recognition for continuous use at 250°C (482°F) and is an ASTM D3307 - Type VII resin.

Applications: Aerospace Applications; Cable Jacketing; Liners; Piping; Semiconductor Molding Compounds

Features: Flame Retardant; High Heat Resistance; Low Flow; Semi Crystalline

PROCESSING
- Because PFA is corrosive in the melt, machinery used to process Hyflon® should be lined with corrosion resistant alloys. Clean, reworked material can be used up to 25% in weight.

HEALTH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
- Hyflon® PFA M640 is a very inert polymer and it is not harmful if used and handled according to standard processing procedures. If handled inappropriately, it may release harmful toxic chemicals.

PACKAGING AND STORAGE
- Hyflon® PFA M640 resin is available in 25 kg (55 lbs.) and 500 kg (1102 lbs.) packaging. Though it has an indefinite shelf life, it is recommended to store it in a clean area, protected from direct sunlight and possible contamination.
