Everflon Fluoropolymer PFA Resin Everflon PFA is a perfluoroalkoxy copolymer resin available in pellet or powder. Everflon PFA combines the processing ease of conventional thermoplastic resins with the excellent properties of Everflon polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Products manufactured from Everflon PFA can offer continuous service temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). What's more, Everflon PFA provides superior creep resistance at high temperatures, excellent low-temperature toughness, and exceptional flame resistance. Application 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. Processing Everflon PFA can be processed by conventional melt extrusion, and by injection, compression, transfer, and blow molding processes. High melt strength and heat stability permit the use of relatively large die openings and high temperature draw-down techniques that increase production rates. Reciprocating screw injection molding machines are preferred. Corrosion-resistant metals should be used in contact with molten fluoroplastic resin. Extruder barrel should be long, relative to diameter, to provide residence time for heating the resin to approximately 390 °C (730 °F). For more detailed processing information, including recommend
