 PFA and related fluoropolymers are almost universally inert to industrial chemicals and solvents. Often referred to as Teflon® tubing, PFA tubing can handle virtually any corrosive chemical in use today, with few exceptions. It is also recognized for its excellent resistance to heat — up to 500°F continuously. Lesser known is its usefulness in extremely cold temperatures — well below -200°F. It will remain reasonably flexible to -110°F.
NewAge Industries offers PFA tubing in a wide range of sizes and wall thickness to meet most any need. We also stock PTFE and FEP formulations in straight tubing, AWG and fractional sizes, coiled and corrugated for increased flexibility and stainless steel overbraided hose for increased pressure capabilities.

| ABOUT PFA TUBING |
| Fluoropolymers are one of the most versatile engineering materials known and, since their discovery over 60 years ago, have been used in nearly every field of modern industry, technology, and science.
PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) belongs to a class of melt-processible fluoroplastics. PFA tubing is known for its gas and vapor permeability properties and excellent UV transmission ratings. While very similar in composition to FEP, it has better heat resistance and has a smoother surface. It is more clear and flexible than PTFE.

| HISTORY OF PFA |
| The original fluoropolymer resin, PTFE was discovered by Dr. Roy Plunkett, a chemist at DuPont, in 1938. The use of fluoropolymers became well known to the public in 1946 when E.I. DuPont began marketing “Teflon®” brand product for use on cookware, as a fiber treatment for stain resistance, and in other household applications. PFA was later introduced in 1972. These days, high quality fluoropolymers are manufactured by a number of respected companies for use in the manufacture of PFA tubing. |
