Liquid Natural Gas  

The increasing interest in Floating LNG is driving the development of cryogenic systems that enable the transfer of LNG on the open sea.

The semi-crystalline melt-processable fluoropolymers Hyflon® PFA/MFA® offer a unique set of properties to meet extreme performance requirements:

• Very cold temperature resistance
• Inherent flame resistance
• Chemical inertness
• Low surface energy
• Exceptional dielectric properties
• Excellent mechanical characteristics

• Lower thermal conductivity than nylon, down to - 230°C
• Lower specific heat than nylon, down to -250°C
• Good flexibility and ductility down to - 100°C
  (lowest temperature tested)
• Mechanical properties and dimensional stability,
  from -200°C to +260°C
• Excellent long-term ageing resistance
• No plasticizer, no additives
• Intrinsic UV resistance
