PTFE/PFA (also known as Teflon), which is suitable for chemical and acid flow.
We supply our quality PTFE/PFA lined pipes to countries all over the world.
PTFE PIPES AND FITTINGS LININGS
Pipes and fittings are lined with PTFE or PFA using the most adapted process according to the shape and dimension of the products.
- PTFE Paste Extrusion for spools,
- PTFE Isostatic Molding for large Tees & Elbows, and finally
- PFA Injection Molding for smaller pieces, each process is chosen to ensure the highest quality of each single item.
All ranges are proposed in both virgin or antistatic material. With manufacturing facilities in Europe, China and USA or through partners in many countries around the world, Mersen offers the requested service necessary for the piping market: trained people, adapted answers and quick delivery.
KEY FEATURES:
- Temperature from -50 to 230°C
- Full vacuum and/or high pressure service
- Diameter from DN 15 (1/2'') to DN 600 (24'') and larger on demand
- Antistatic quality up to DN 400 (16'')
- Food quality
POLYTETRAFLOUROETHYLENE (PTFE)
Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE, with its carbon chains completely fluorinated is inert to an exhaustive range of industrial chemicals. It's non-stick characteristic, which resists the build up of deposits, reduces clogging problems and is better for handling sticky resins and foodstuffs. Generally, limitation for use is molten alkali metals (such as metallic sodium), fluorine and the strong fluorinating agents.
PERFLUOROALKOXY (PFA)
Perfluoroalkoxy or PFA is a perfluoropolymer, which has essentially the same chemical resistance as PTFE has added moulding properties ideal for lining complex shapes. PFA is extensively used in Ultra-Pure applications. It has excellent creep resistance at high temperatures with good flame resistance and reasonably tough at low temperatures. PFA can be used in combination with PTE lined pipe for handling most chemical fluids.
PTFE / PFA LINED PIPE AND FITTINGS ARE RESISTANT TO CORROSION, FULL VACUUM AND HIGH PRESSURE DURING CORROSIVE LIQUID HANDLING
Lined pipes and fittings are commonly used for highly corrosive fluid handling at high temperatures.
