Fluon® PFA P-66P
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon® PFA P-66P is a melt-processible copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and a perfluorinated vinyl ether. It has chemical, electrical, and thermal properties that are similar to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), but can be processed using conventional extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and transfer molding techniques. This versatile material can withstand a wide range of temperatures (-200°C to 260°C) and is available in the form of 1/8 inch pellets. It is commonly used for extrusion, transfer, compression, and injection molding, and offers the best resistance to stress cracking among the PFA materials.

- Processing
Fluon PFA fluoropolymer resins can be processed by conventional melt-processable resin techniques including extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, compression molding, transfer molding, and rotolining/rotomolding. It is strongly recommended that process equipment exposed to molten resin be made of corrosion-resistant metals such as Monel®, Inconel®, or Hastelloy®.; Extruder barrels should be long relative to diameter (24/1 up to 30/1 and beyond) and heaters should have the capacity to heat material to approximately 390ºC. Temperature controllers should be of the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) type to insure precise temperature control. Extruder screws with 3/1 compression ratio, a relatively long feed zone, and ½ to 3 turn transition zone are recommended.; Your AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. technical service representative can provide specific recommendations for process equipment and process conditions.
