PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) was developed in order to achieve a true melt-processable fluoropolymer. Its characteristics are such that in service it can be considered as interchangeable with PTFE in terms of its chemical service and temperature and pressure duty. It has the highest permeation performance of the fluoropolymers, exceeding that even of paste extruded PTFE. It also provides the smoothest and least wettable finish of all of the Fluoropolymers. Unfortunately the trade-off is cost, the material being more expensive than PTFE. CRP uses PFA in the production of most of its lined fittings and the Flowserve range of Atomac and Durco PFA lined valve PFA Lined Valves | PTFE FEP Lined Valves | Rubber Lined Valves ---China corrosion resistant valves manufacturer is available lined in PFA.
