Perfluoroalkoxy Market: Overview
·
Perfluoroalkoxy is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and
perfluoroethers. High melt strength, melt flow rate, and thermal stability are
properties offered by this material in various end-use industries such as
chemical processing, food & beverage, medical, etc.
·
Perfluoroalkoxy is extensively used to prevent corrosion, due to
equipment failures and leakages at the time of chemical processing and
manufacturing operations. In order to prevent corrosion, perfluoroalkoxy offers
chemical resistance and anti-stick, making them ideal corrosion inhibitor for
coatings on metallic substrates, thus resulting in low cost and increased
lifespan of manufacturing equipment.
Key Drivers of
Global Perfluoroalkoxy Market
·
Perfluoroalkoxy is fluoro polymer, which possesses characteristics such
as high heat resistance, chemical resistance, low smoke & flame, high
dielectric strength, and resistance to weather & aging
·
Ability of perfluoroalkoxy to dissipate less energy at high frequencies
and their high insulating ability make them an ideal material for use in the
production of cables for the electronics & semiconductor industry. Growing
demand for cables, owing to increased investments in power transmission and
distribution systems is expected to drive the global electronics & semiconductor
sector. This, in turn, is expected to boost the production of perfluoroalkoxy
during the forecast period.
·
Attributes of perfluoroalkoxy such as their resistance to chemical
attack, high optical transparency, and flexibility makes them a suitable material
for the production of tubing. Owing to these attributes, perfluoroalkoxy is
extensively used for fluid handling applications for industries, including
chemical processing, food & beverages, automotive, aerospace & defense,
medical, etc.
·
Perfluoroalkoxy is used for plastic lab equipment due to its extreme
resistance to chemical attack, optical transparency, and flexibility. In
plastic lab equipment, perfluoroalkoxy is also often used as tubing for
handling highly corrosive fluids and sheet linings for chemical equipment.
Perfluoroalkoxy liners are excellent materials for replacing expensive metals
and alloys such as inconel or hastelloy with lined carbon steel or lined fiber
reinforced plastic.

High Competition
from Substitutes to Hamper Global Perfluoroalkoxy Market
·
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluorocarbon, which is hydrophobic
in nature and possesses very low coefficient of friction. It offers higher
resistance to heat and low coefficient of friction than perfluoroalkoxy.
However, the surface finish of perfluoroalkoxy is smoother than that of PTFE and
have dielectric strength three to four times higher than PTFE. Additionally,
perfluoroalkoxy also offers superior flexibility as compared to PTFE, mainly
for tubing applications.
·
Perfluoroalkoxy offers high chemical resistance, but is less than that
of fluorinated polymers such as PTFE and fluorinated ethylene propylene
(FEP), as the perfluoroalkoxy is not fully fluorinated

Asia Pacific to
Hold Prominent Share of Global Perfluoroalkoxy Market
·
In terms of region, the global perfluoroalkoxy market can be split into
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa
·
Asia Pacific is expected to be a leading consumer of perfluoroalkoxy
across the globe. Rapid expansion of the building & construction sector is
likely to fuel the demand for wires and cables in the near future. Furthermore,
rise in research and development activities in the aerospace and defense sector
is projected to drive the demand for wires and cables during the forecast
period. This, in turn, is projected to fuel the demand for perfluoroalkoxy,
owing to their excellent ability of dissipating less energy at high frequencies
and high insulating ability.
·
Perfluoroalkoxy market in Europe and North America is well established
and providers of perfluoroalkoxy such as Solvay SA, AGC Chemicals Europe, Ltd.
are extensively engaged in increasing their production capacity, new product
launches, and quality of the existing products
·
This perfluoroalkoxy market in Latin America and Middle East &
Africa is projected to expand at a slow rate, as manufacturers across these
regions are dependent on imports from developed nations in order to meet the
demand for perfluoroalkoxy
