PFA Tubing

IDEX PFA, High Purity PFA & High Purity Plus PFA Tubing

PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) tubing delivers exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and ultra-clean fluid transfer for demanding analytical, semiconductor, and life-science applications. IDEX Health & Science offers PFA tubing in three performance grades to support everything from general laboratory plumbing to ultra-high-purity process environments.

Standard PFA provides excellent chemical compatibility and temperature resistance for routine fluid handling. PFA High Purity (HP) is manufactured from premium resin to minimize ionic and metallic contamination, making it ideal for sensitive analytical workflows. PFA High Purity Plus (HP+) builds on HP performance with enhanced mechanical strength, extended flex life, and improved chemical durability.

PFA HP+ tubing also offers superior bubble clearance and long-term flexibility, making it a preferred choice for semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical processing, biotech fluid transfer, and sterile bioprocessing systems. Across all grades, PFA tubing maintains smooth internal surfaces for consistent flow while resisting aggressive solvents, acids, and bases.

Key Definitions â–¶
PFA Tubing
Perfluoroalkoxy fluoropolymer tubing offering excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability, commonly used for general laboratory and analytical fluid handling.
PFA High Purity (HP)
Premium-resin PFA tubing engineered to minimize ionic and metallic contamination, supporting cleaner flow paths in sensitive analytical and life-science applications.
PFA High Purity Plus (HP+)
Ultra-high-purity PFA tubing with enhanced mechanical durability, improved chemical performance, extended flex life, and superior bubble clearance for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and bioprocessing systems.
Frequently Asked Questions â–¶
What is the difference between PFA, PFA HP, and PFA HP+ tubing?
Standard PFA offers excellent chemical resistance for general applications. PFA HP is produced from premium resin to reduce ionic and metallic contamination. PFA HP+ provides the same ultra purity as HP with added mechanical durability, longer flex life, and enhanced chemical performance for critical environments.
When should I use PFA HP+ tubing?
PFA HP+ is recommended for semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical processing, biotech fluid transfer, and sterile bioprocessing where extended tubing life, bubble clearance, and ultra-low contamination are required.
Is PFA tubing compatible with aggressive chemicals?
Yes. PFA tubing provides outstanding resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents while maintaining thermal stability and smooth internal surfaces for consistent flow.
Can PFA tubing be used in analytical and life science systems?
Absolutely. PFA tubing is widely used in analytical instrumentation, pharmaceutical labs, and life-science workflows due to its chemical inertness, cleanliness, and ability to support reliable low-contamination fluid paths.
