Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PFA Lined Plug Valve?

It’s a specialized plug valve with a superpower: its internal surfaces are protected by a PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) lining. This lining acts like a super-resistant barrier, shielding the metal body of the valve from aggressive fluids. It combines the reliable, quarter-turn operation of a plug valve with exceptional defense against corrosion.

What's the big deal about the PFA lining?

PFA is a champion of chemical resistance. It offers outstanding durability against a vast range of acids, bases, solvents, and other corrosive substances that would quickly damage standard valves. This means longer service life, reliable sealing, and protection for your process integrity.

Where are these valves typically used?

They are the go-to choice for handling the toughest chemicals. You’ll find them in critical applications across the chemical processing, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and fertilizer industries. Anywhere that highly corrosive or reactive media are present, PFA lined plug valves provide a trusted solution.

What are the main benefits of choosing this design?

Beyond unmatched corrosion resistance, these valves offer low maintenance and reliable operation. The PFA lining is often self-lubricating, which reduces friction and wear on the plug. This translates to less downtime for maintenance, consistent performance, and significant long-term cost savings by protecting your system.

Are there fluids PFA lining can't handle?

While PFA is resistant to a phenomenal range of chemicals, it’s always best to check. There are a few specific chemicals or extreme temperature conditions that might not be suitable. Our technical team can provide chemical compatibility guidance based on your exact process media and conditions.

How do I know if I need a PFA Lined Plug Valve?

Consider a PFA lined valve if your process involves highly corrosive, abrasive, or high-purity fluids where contamination from metal corrosion is a concern. If you’re experiencing frequent valve failures or contamination issues in aggressive service, this specialized lining is likely the solution.
