Pipes and fittings are lined with PTFE or PFA using the most adapted process according to the shape and dimension of the products.
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.
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.
Lined pipes and fittings are commonly used for highly corrosive fluid handling at high temperatures.
