At KDV Flow, we recently dispatched DN100 ETFE-lined diaphragm valves designed for maximum chemical resistance. In industries where aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, and demanding environments are the norm, knowing the difference between ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) and PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy Alkane) is essential. Each material offers unique advantages depending on your application, and at KDV Flow, a trusted diaphragm valves manufacturer, we are here to help you make the right choice.
ETFE vs. PFA: Which Lining Is Right for You?
Both ETFE and PFA linings provide exceptional chemical resistance, but their specific properties make them better suited for different applications.
- ETFE Lining: Known for its excellent mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, ETFE is ideal for applications that demand high durability. Whether you’re in chemical processing, mining, or water treatment, ETFE offers cost-effective protection against a wide range of chemicals while standing up to tough industrial conditions.
- PFA Lining: PFA excels in environments that require superior chemical resistance over a broader temperature range. Its flexibility and resilience make it the top choice for handling highly corrosive substances like acids and solvents in extreme conditions. If your application involves aggressive chemicals or fluctuating temperatures, PFA is the optimal solution.
At KDV Flow, we ensure that every diaphragm valve lining is engineered to maximise performance, giving you the confidence that your system will operate efficiently and reliably, even in the most challenging environments.
Lining Materials: A Critical Component of Valve Performance
The choice of lining is one of the most critical components in ensuring valve performance and longevity, especially when dealing with aggressive media. Whether you choose ETFE or PFA, the lining adds an extra layer of protection for essential valve parts, including the valve body and diaphragm, shielding them from wear, corrosion, and damage over time.
Selecting the right lining not only extends the lifespan of your valve but also ensures consistent, reliable flow control. At KDV Flow, we know that every component plays a crucial role, which is why our plastic-lined valves are built to meet the highest standards of quality and durability.
