| Due to its high melt-viscosity,
PFA was supposed to be unsuitable for melt-processing very fine parts,
for example, injection molding thin component parts. Fluon®PFA
P-62XPT has broken this concept and has been specially designed with
high melt flow characteristics. Generally, to improve melt processability
of thermoplastics, molecular weight of the resin is reduced but, as
a result physical properties, such as tensile strength or MIT (flex
life), also decline dramatically. P-62XPT, developed Asahi Glass solved
this problem using an original Asahi Glass technique. Although having
a high MFR ( 24-36g/min), making P-62XPT very suitable for fine melt-processing,
the reduction in mechanical strength has been minimised, compared
with other PFA grades. |

for molding of the following extremely fine products. |

| Of course, P-62XPT can be processed
using other conventional thermoplastic techniques as well as injection
moulding. For example it can be extruded into extremely thin tubes,
filaments, or an insulation coating for electric cables. |
