Interested in PFA tubings?
The properties of our PFA tubings make it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Test PFA tubings from APT now!
A PFA tubings is versatile in use
Due to its excellent property profile, PFA tubings are used in many applications and industrial sectors. The fully fluorinated plastic PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) is a copolymer of TFE (tetrafluoroethylene) with a side chain modification of PPVE (perfluoropropylvinylether). Chemically very closely related to classic PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PFA can, however, be processed well above 300 °C using conventional thermoplastic melt extrusion due to its lower melt viscosity.
In addition to the standard PFA grades from Western manufacturers, we also process PFA-HP grades for applications in semiconductor technology and PFA-FLEX for highly dynamic applications. We will be happy to assist you in selecting the right PFA tubing from our range. We can also help you select the optimum raw material for your individual application.
Overview: Properties of a PFA tubing
- Temperature range from - 200 °C to + 260 °C
- Almost universal chemical resistance
- Transparent to translucent (depending on wall thickness)
- Very low surface energy & coefficient of friction
- Very smooth and easy-to-clean anti-adhesive surfaces
- Electrically insulating
- Weldable
- Non-flammable (UL 94: V0 classification)
- Low permeability
- Sterilizable, autoclavable
- FDA and USP Class VI compliant types available
- Laser marking possible
- Antistatic design possible
APT distinguishes between three categories of PFA tubings:

Do you have a special application or technical challenge? APT will support you from the initial idea through to implementation and work with you to find the optimum tubing solution.
Depth of production at the manufacturer APT
APT manufactures PFA tubing from Ø 0.10 mm inside to max. Ø 100 mm outside as standard. We realize almost all possible customer-specific dimensions, and individual colouring is also possible. Tubing is also made up according to your requirements. Our modern extrusion systems also enable us to produce multi-layer PFA tubing in compliance with the tightest tolerances.
If PFA does not meet your requirements, take a look at our PTFE or FEP products.
