Material PFA – Perfluoroalkoxy

Fluorinated hydrocarbon with a high-molecular, partly crystalline structure. Compared to PTFE it has additional side chains consisting of perfluorated alkoxy groups. The chemical and thermal properties of this thermoplastic fluoropolymer are equal to those of PTFE. PFA labware is translucent to transparent, non-porous and particularly useful in high-purity work.
