General Information
PFA is a fluorocarbon co-polymer with the smallest dimensional changes over its useful temperature interval and has got good mechanical properties.

The material is excellent for use as a dielectric – it has got an excellent dielectric constant of 2.1, a high dielectric strength, excellent resistivity and an excellent dissipation factor of magnitude 0.0002. Its low dielectric constant is essentially constant with changing frequency or temperature.

PFA has excellent non-ageing characteristics and a broad useful temperature range from about -200oC to +260oC continuously. Used as insulation PFA passes several severe flame tests as for instance the IEEE 383 and has of course the UL94 V-0 rating.

The chemical inertness of the material is excellent and is one of the most chemical resistant polymers.
