Norton® PFA fluoropolymer film is manufactured by Saint-Gobain Advanced Films and Fabrics from perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) polymer resin. This film offers the highest continuous use temperature 260°C (500°F) of any melt-processable fluoropolymer film. Norton PFA film offers many of the performance properties of PTFE in a clear, transparent form and can be heat sealed, thermoformed, welded, metallized, or laminated to a wide variety of materials.
Norton® PFA film offers a combination of excellent dielectric properties across a wide temperature and frequency range, the highest level of chemical and stress crack resistance, excellent clarity and weatherability. The chemical resistance of PFA provides excellent tank-lining performance.
Norton® PFA Type WF (mechanical grade) is an ideal economical solution for applications that don't require high aesthetic standards, such as hot melt adhesive (welding tape) application. PFA WF grade possesses all physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of PFA film while offering up to 25% savings.
Surface Treatments Available: C-Treatable (cementable, 1 or 2 sides); Corona Treatment (1 or 2 sides); Chemical Etching (1 or 2 sides)
Flammability (UL-94): V-0
The combination of chemical resistance and high temperature resistance over a wide frequency range make Norton PFA film an ideal component for circuit board fabricators, flat cable, and electrical insulation applications. Product thickness availability from 0.0005" through 0.030" at widths up to 62" offers circuit board designers flexibility in structure design.
The high temperature resistance and non-wetting surface of Norton PFA make it an ideal material for use as a high temperature release film or bagging film for composite manufacturers. The continuous use temperature of 260°C (500°F) and a melt point 310°C (590°F) meet the needs of new resin systems requiring a 230°C (446°F) cure temperature.
