When selecting tubing, and fittings and connectors for microfluidic applications, ensuring chemical resistance is crucial for maintaining system integrity and performance. PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) is highly valued due to its high resistance to chemicals, durability, and versatility. It is commonly used in medical, pharmaceutical, and food processing applications because of its excellent resistance to water, alcohols, and a variety of harsh chemicals.
Understanding resistance is essential for preventing degradation and ensuring safety. Therefore, we present in this guide a comprehensive table of chemical resistance for PFA tubing, fittings and connectors. This table, based on the chemical resistance data (at 20°C) provided by Reichelt Chemietechnik, is designed to help engineers, technicians, and researchers quickly determine whether PFA material is suitable for their specific applications, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance in various chemical environments.
Refer to this table to make informed choices and maintain the efficiency and safety of your system.
💡 The chemical resistance rating key is as follows:
- resistant = no effect to slight effect
- limited resistance = moderate effect
🚨 The resistance ratings provided in these tables are for general guidance only and may not be complete or accurate. They do not address potential contamination or changes in fluid properties due to tubing interaction. We do not guarantee the suitability of any material for specific purposes or the impact of tubing on fluid quality. For critical applications, conduct specific tests or seek expert advice.
