Solvay Specialty Polymers Hyflon® PFA 120X Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA)  (discontinued **)

Hyflon® PFA is a unique family of semi-crystalline, melt processable perfluoropolymers which combine excellent mechanical characteristics to unique properties such as chemical inertness, heat resistance, inherent flame resistance, low surface energy, and exceptional dielectric properties. Hyflon® PFA resins have been designed to retain their properties over a wide range of temperatures from cryogenic to 250-260°C (482-500°F) and are the material of choice in applications such as linings in the Chemical Process Industry, specialty cables, semiconductor industry, aerospace, and other challenging industries. Hyflon® PFA 120X is a low melt flow rate resin designed for blow molding applications, where very high viscosity and melt strength are needed. It also has significantly lower permeability to gasses than standard PFAs'.Additional Information: PROCESSING Because PFA is corrosive in the melt, machinery used to process Hyflon should be lined with corrosion resistant alloys. HEALTH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT Hyflon® PFA 120X is a very inert polymer and it is not harmful if used and handled according to standard processing procedures. If handled inappropriately, it may release harmful toxic chemicals. Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets for more information on handling and safety. PACKAGING AND STORAGE Hyflon® PFA 120X resin is available in 25 kg (55 lbs) and 600 kg (1323 lbs) packaging. Though it has an indefinite shelf life, it is recommended to store it in a clean area, protected from direct sunlight, and possible contamination.Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
