Real Specifications
| ALTAFLUOR 400 PFA temperature ceiling | 500°F upper service temperature | altaflo-fluoropolymer-tubing.md |
| Altaflo 500 PVDF resin | 100% virgin Kynar 740 homopolymer PVDF resin | pexco-tubing.md |
| Altaflo 500 PVDF temperature range | -20°F to 250°F | pexco-tubing.md |
| Altaflo 500 PVDF certification | NSF 61 and NSF 372 certified | pexco-tubing.md |
Altaflo 500 PVDF is not rated for flare-type fittings — the vendor points to the more flexible 550 series specifically when a flare connection is required.
PVDF's real ceiling is 250°F; a chemical process line that has to run hotter than that in continuous service needs PFA's 500°F rating instead — sizing to the actual process temperature, not just "fluoropolymer tubing" generically, is the difference between a correct spec and a field failure.
Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
