PFAHX250C / Teflon® PFA-H 250C High Temp Wire.

1X Technologies LLC (UL) listed TYPE PFA-H (1X-PFAHX250C) special insulated with Extruded PFA (Perfluoro-alkoxy) fluoropolymer for general wiring use features a wide operating temperature from (-80C to 250C). This high-temperature cable also exhibits outstanding resistances to oil, UV light, abrasion and other harsh environmental agents. Electrical properties include high dielectric strength and low loss dielectric constant, allowing for a smaller overall diameter compared to PVC or XLP. Longer continuous lengths are available compared to PTFE insulated wire. (UL) PFA-H (1X-PFAHX) is RoHS and Reach compliant. Standard AWG sizes range from 4/0 to 14 AWG, but other sizes can be manufactured upon request.  Additionally, custom colors, stripes, and conductor stranding is available to you.

About PFA-H Cable (PFAHX250C).

Perfluoroalkoxy alkanes or PFA are fluoropolymers. They are copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (C₂F₄) and perfluoroethers (C₂F₃OR^f, where R^f is a perfluorinated group such as trifluoromethyl (CF₃)). In terms of their properties, these polymers are similar to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The big difference is that the alkoxy substituents allow the polymer to be melt-processed. On a molecular level, PFA has a smaller chain length and higher chain entanglement than other fluoropolymers. It also contains an oxygen atom at the branches. This results in a material that is more translucent and has improved flow, creep resistance, and thermal stability close to or exceeding PTFE. Similarly, advantaged processing properties are found in fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), the copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene.

PFA is commonly used as a material for piping and fittings for aggressive chemicals, as well as the corrosion-resistant lining of vessels in the chemical-processing industry. Typical applications are in the construction of gas scrubbers, reactors, containment vessels, piping, and now 1X Technologies special PFA-H / PFAHX250C Wire & Cable. In coal-fired power plants, PFA is even used as lining for heat exchangers. By channeling crude gas through the PFA-lined apparatus the gas stream can be cooled beyond its condensation temperature without damaging the heat exchanger. Its use contributes to increasing the efficiency of the whole plant. With that said, you can be sure your Teflon® PFA-H Wire & Cable from 1X Technologies will withstand even the harshest conditions in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries!
