Request a Spec Review →LibertyCES distributes Pexco's Altafluor® 480 (UHP PFA) and 200 (FEP) using 100% Virgin Daikin AP-231 SH Resin. The tubing offers 25% smoother surface finish than standard PFA, reducing biofilm and particulate entrapment, and complies with SEMI F57, FDA & NSF-61, and USP Class VI standards. Pexco also builds a purpose-made 480 Dual Containment tube-in-tube version of this same UHP PFA line for semiconductor and pharmaceutical service where a leak has to be both contained and visible.
| Feature | Altafluor® 480 (UHP PFA) | Altafluor® 200 (FEP) |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Semiconductor, Pharma, Aggressive Acids | Visual Monitoring, UV Systems, Lab Use |
| Max Temp | 500°F (260°C) | 400°F (204°C) |
| Clarity | Translucent (Hazy) | Glass-Like Clarity |
| Flex Life | Extreme | Moderate |
| Resin | 100% Virgin Daikin AP-231 SH | High-Grade FEP |
FEP Heat Shrink
1.3:1 shrink ratio, operates at approximately 375°F (190°C), protecting temperature-sensitive components.
Dual Containment Systems
Secondary barrier systems designed for hazardous acid transport (H₂SO₄, HF) to prevent catastrophic leaks.
Altafluor® 480 is inert to concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and nitric acid across full temperature ranges. Cleanroom-environment manufactured tubing meets SEMI F57 particulate requirements for semiconductor-grade service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PFA and FEP tubing?
Altafluor 480 (UHP PFA) rates to 500°F with extreme flex life and translucent clarity, suited to semiconductor, pharma, and aggressive acid service. Altafluor 200 (FEP) rates to 400°F with glass-like clarity, better suited to visual monitoring, UV systems, and lab use.
Is high-purity PFA tubing FDA compliant?
Yes. LibertyCES-distributed Altafluor 480 and 200, made from 100% virgin Daikin resin, comply with SEMI F57, FDA & NSF-61, and USP Class VI standards.
What chemicals is PFA tubing resistant to?
Altafluor 480 is inert to concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and nitric acid across its full temperature range, making it suitable for aggressive acid transfer.
What is dual containment tubing used for?
Dual containment systems add a secondary tubing barrier around the primary line, designed for hazardous acid transport (H₂SO₄, HF) to prevent catastrophic leaks if the inner tube fails.
