Comprehensive Guide to PFA Lined Pump Specifications and Benefits
Comprehensive Guide to PFA Lined Pump Specifications and Benefits For industries handling corrosive, high-purity, or hazardous chemicals, a run-off-the-mill pump would barely work. These industries need pumps that offer superior chemical resistance and can handle all sorts of aggressive fluids. PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) lined pumps provide the mechanical strength of metallic casings with the superior chemical resistance of PFA lining, making them perfect for displacing the most challenging fluids. So, how does a PFA lining make a pump better? PFA is inert to almost all aggressive chemicals, including strong acids, bases, solvents, and oxidisers. Typical metal pumps can be easily corroded over time with repeated fluid contact. The PFA lining acts as a non-reactive barrier, a protective layer of sorts, between the pump's metallic body and the fluid, maintaining structural integrity even in highly corrosive environments. The PFA lining is mechanically locked into the metal armour, off...
