M. Holland Company PFA 12 Perfluoroalkoxy
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Fluoropolymer; Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA)

Material Notes: Perfluoroalkoxy alkanes or PFA are fluoropolymers. They are copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroethers. Melting points range from 295 to 310 C. Compared to FEP, the copolymerization composition ratio of the comonomer content is small, and PFA has a chemical structure that is close to PTFE. Therefore, PFA has a higher melting point and higher heat resistance than FEP.

Application: PFA 12 is used for general-purpose plastics extrusion processing, mainly used for cable insulation wire, multiconductor cable sheath, etc.

Availability: Asia Pacific; Europe; North America

Features: Copolymer; Good Heat Resistance

Uses: Insulation; Wire & Cable Applications

Processing Method: Extrusion
