Fluon+™ PFA EA-2000
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ PFA EA-2000 is a perfluoro resin which has been functionalized to include an adhesive group within the polymer backbone. The perfluoro backbone gives the material excellent electrical characteristics, and heat and chemical resistance, while the adhesive functionality facilitates adhesion to other materials in a one-step process, without the need for surface treatment or a separate adhesive layer. Example materials include glass cloth, polyimide, or various metals. This grade is semi-commercialized and may be available upon request. This material is supplied as pellets and packaged in 25kg plastic bags.

- Features of EA-2000
Heat resistance to 260C and superior chemical resistance, equivalent to conventional PFA materials; Adhesion to other polymers and metals without the use of surface treatment or a separate adhesive layer via a traditional melt-processable method.; Excellent non-stick properties, low frictional properties, and water and oil repellency (high contact angle); Low dielectric constant (2.1) and low dissipation factor (0.001)
- Handling Precautions
All Fluon+ grades should be stored in clean and dry conditions. No special pre-heating or conditioning is required.; As with most fluoropolymers, care is needed when heating EA-2000 pellets and local exhaust ventilation is required. Please refer to our Safety data sheets (SDS) for guidance.; Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistant materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.; EA-2000 should be processed at a maximum temperature of 380C in order to preserve the adhesive functionality of the polymer
