What is PFA valve?

PFA valve is a valve using perfluoroalkoxy resin (referred to as PFA) as the main manufacturing material. Due to PFA's excellent chemical inertness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and high purity, this valve is suitable for handling fluid control under extreme conditions.


What are the characteristics of PFA valve?

  1. Corrosion resistance: PFA valve has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various strong acids, strong alkalis and other corrosive media.

  2. High temperature performance: It can work stably in the temperature range of -80℃ to +260℃ for a long time, and maintain good mechanical strength at high temperatures.

  3. Sealing performance: Triflure PFA valve material has good sealing performance, can effectively prevent fluid leakage, to ensure the safety and reliability of the pipeline system.

  4. Flow control: PFA valve can be used to achieve fluid regulation and control, such as opening, closing, regulating flow and other operations.

  5. Easy to clean and disinfect: Due to its non-stick and ability to withstand strong alkali and acid cleaning agents, PFA valves are easy to carry out CIP or SIP cleaning procedures.

  6. Excellent electrical insulation performance: Stable electrical insulation can be maintained even at high temperatures.

  7. Low friction coefficient: the inner surface is smooth, reducing flow resistance and preventing medium adhesion and accumulation.

In which areas are PFA valves used?

Sanfulai PFA valves are widely used in industries that require a highly clean and corrosion-resistant environment, including:

  1. Semiconductor manufacturing: In the chip manufacturing process, PFA valves are used in ultra-pure water systems, chemical delivery lines, and gas lines to ensure that liquids and gases used in critical process steps are not contaminated.

  2. Chemical and pharmaceutical industry: In fine chemical and biopharmaceutical production, PFA valves are used to handle the transportation of strong acids, strong alkalis and other corrosive chemicals to ensure the safety and efficiency of the production process.

  3. Laboratory equipment: Various analytical instruments and experimental devices in scientific research laboratories often use PFA valves to transmit or control high-purity reagents to avoid data deviation caused by valve materials.

  4. Food processing and packaging industry: In some high-end food production lines and packaging machines, PFA valves are used to transmit sterile steam, hot water or other special liquids, meeting strict food safety standards.
