Material PFAGlossaryPFA Perfluoroalkoxy – Perfluoroalkoxy

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