Understanding the Cost-Effectiveness of PFA Lined Valves
Understanding the Cost-Effectiveness of PFA Lined Valves Valves are used in various industries and have several applications. However, in industries such as chemical processing, metal, pharmaceuticals, and food production, valves need to be extra strong and protected as they have to come in contact with corrosive and abrasive fluids on a daily basis. Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) lined valves are perfect for handling highly corrosive fluids. PFA is a thermoplastic polymer that offers excellent chemical resistance, ensuring the valve doesn't give up when repeatedly coming in contact with corrosive liquids. To explain to a layman, a PFA lining provides a smooth, non-stick coating, which minimizes the risk of fluid buildup and clogging, ensuring consistent flow and operational efficiency. Think of it as the layer on top of your non-stick cookware, except that the PFA lining on industrial valves is several times tougher and won't come off easily. Are PFA-lined valves different from regu...
