ALTAFLUOR® 480 UHP PFA

1 of 9 products in this brand
ALTAFLUOR® 480 UHP PFA (ultra high purity perfluoroalkoxy) is the product of choice for applications involving extreme chemical resistance combined with high purity requirements. Although HP PFA is available in a variety of resin grades, ALTAFLUOR® 480 UHP PFA tubing is made exclusively from a high molecular weight, high purity resin that provides excellent chemical resistance, (even to common fluorosurfactants), highest purity levels, low permeation levels and smoothest surface finish.

Polymer Name: Perfluoroalkoxy Polymer (PFA)

Physical Form: Tube

Features: Chemical Resistant, Food Contact Acceptable, Good Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR), Good Solvent Resistance, Good Thermal Stability, High Molecular Weight, High Performance, High Purity, Low Moisture Absorption, Low Permeability, Non-Flammable, Smooth Surface Finish, Translucent

The above information is based on tests performed at 73° F and can vary in individual applications based on parameters such as temperature, chemical concentration, pressure, etc. Please consult factory for details. For an estimate on burst pressure at ambient temperature we consider a 3:1 ratio when exposure temperature is 73° F. However Altaflo does not recommend exceeding the suggested Working Pressure listed. Additional sizes up to 2” are available. Available in natural color only. For pigmented items, see ALTAFLUOR® 400 series.
