NEOFLON AP-231SH Daikin Perfluoroalkoxy

Product Description

NEOFLON PFA is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether, NEOFLON PFA is a compound of carbon atoms and fluorine atoms in which a perfluoroalkoxy radical is bonded to the carbon chain in the following molecular structure.

NEOFLON PFA has better mechanical strength at high temperatures than NEOFLON FEP, and has excellent moldability for easy of processing by extrusion, compression, blow, transfer, and injection molding methods. Due to the high bonding strength of the carbon, fluorine and oxygen atoms, NEOFLON PFA demonstrates nearly the same outstanding capabilities as PTFE in temperatures ranging -200°C ~+260°C. NEOFLON PFA has excellent transparency for use in melt-flow processing.
