In industries with extremely high cleanliness requirements, such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, a tool that guarantees contamination-free and efficient cleaning is crucial. The PFA water gun is precisely the professional equipment designed for this purpose.

During semiconductor manufacturing, minute contamination can render an entire batch of chips defective. In the pharmaceutical industry, any chemical residue can compromise drug safety. In advanced laboratories, the purity of cleaning tools directly impacts the accuracy of experimental results.

For cleaning tasks in these scenarios, ordinary water guns are inadequate. The PFA water gun, leveraging its exceptional chemical stability and high-purity characteristics, becomes an irreplaceable professional tool.


01 What is a PFA Water Gun?

A PFA water gun is a specialized tool specifically designed for high-purity cleaning applications, manufactured using PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy Alkane) material.

PFA material combines the excellent properties of fluoroplastics with the processability of thermoplastics, earning it the nickname "melt-processable PTFE".

PFA resin is a copolymer of a small amount of perfluoropropyl perfluorovinyl ether with polytetrafluoroethylene, making it a relatively new type of melt-processable fluoroplastic.

This material possesses remarkable chemical stability, resisting corrosion from strong acids, strong alkalis, organic solvents, and most other chemicals. It also features high purity and resistance to high and low temperatures.

These properties make the PFA water gun an ideal choice for high-purity cleaning applications, especially suited for industries sensitive to contamination, such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.

02 Key Features: Why is the PFA Water Gun Highly Sought After?

Excellent Chemical Corrosion Resistance

One of the most prominent features of the PFA water gun is its superior chemical corrosion resistance. PFA material can withstand attacks from most chemicals, including strong acids (e.g., aqua regia, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid), strong alkalis, and various organic solvents.

This characteristic allows the PFA water gun to be used in cleaning tasks involving corrosive solutions without suffering damage from chemical corrosion, ensuring long service life and reliability in harsh chemical environments.

High Purity and Low Contamination Characteristics

PFA material is of extremely high purity, containing almost no impurities, making it suitable for cleaning applications requiring the highest levels of purity.

PFA material does not shed particles or release harmful substances, making it applicable in environments sensitive to contamination. In industries like semiconductors, PFA can control metal ion content in the manufacturing process to the parts per billion (ppb) level, making it an indispensable material for high-end chip manufacturing.

Broad Temperature Resistance

The PFA water gun offers good temperature resistance and can operate within a range of -200°C to 260°C.

This property enables the PFA water gun to handle both high-temperature cleaning environments and maintain stable performance under low-temperature conditions, suitable for various cleaning tasks under extreme temperatures.

Physical Properties and Ease of Cleaning

PFA material has a smooth surface, is not prone to trapping dirt, and is easy to clean and maintain. PFA also exhibits excellent mechanical strength, with better creep resistance and compressive strength than PTFE, high tensile strength, and an elongation at break of 100-300%.

Some PFA cleaning water guns offer a degree of transparency, aiding in observing the spray pattern and allowing users to monitor the cleaning process in real-time.

03 Application Areas: Where Do PFA Water Guns Play a Key Role?

Semiconductor Manufacturing

In the semiconductor chip production process, equipment and processes require strict cleaning to prevent particulate contamination.

During semiconductor manufacturing, strong acids, alkalis, and gases are often used for "etching"; transporting and handling these substances requires new, electronic-grade PFA materials.

The application of PFA water guns in this field ensures the ultra-high cleanliness requirements for chip manufacturing, particularly crucial for advanced process nodes below 14nm, especially 7nm and below.

Pharmaceutical Industry

During the cleaning of pharmaceutical equipment, PFA water guns ensure no contaminant residue, guaranteeing drug quality and safety.

Their excellent chemical resistance enables thorough removal of various chemical residues from pharmaceutical equipment without introducing new pollutants, complying with the industry's stringent cleanliness standards.

Laboratory Applications

In scientific research, PFA water guns are used to clean laboratory utensils and instruments, ensuring the accuracy of experimental results.

Especially in advanced laboratories such as those performing trace analysis, isotope detection, and ICP-MS analysis, PFA components are essential tools, and PFA water guns provide the necessary cleaning for these precision laboratory items.

Food Industry and Environmental Engineering

In cleaning food processing equipment, PFA water guns effectively prevent chemical residue, ensuring food safety.

In environmental engineering, PFA water guns can be used in wastewater treatment facilities to clean filters and other critical equipment, where their chemical corrosion resistance offers significant advantages.

04 How to Choose the Right PFA Water Gun?

Flow Rate and Pressure Requirements

When selecting a PFA water gun, first consider the appropriate flow rate and pressure rating based on the size of the object being cleaned and the level of soiling.

Different application scenarios have varying requirements for water pressure and flow rate; it's necessary to select a water gun with suitable parameters for the specific task to achieve optimal cleaning results.

Nozzle Type Selection

Different types of nozzles are suitable for different cleaning tasks. For instance, flat fan nozzles are suitable for wide area coverage, while cone jet nozzles are ideal for targeted impact.

Users should select the appropriate nozzle type according to their specific cleaning needs to improve cleaning efficiency and quality.

Connection Type Considerations

Ensure the connection method between the water gun and the water supply system is compatible for easy installation and disassembly. Incompatible connections may lead to leaks or installation difficulties, affecting the normal operation of cleaning tasks.

Material Purity Requirements

Depending on the application, the purity requirements for PFA material vary. In high-end applications like semiconductors, electronic-grade, ultra-pure PFA material is required, with extremely stringent controls on metal ion content.

05 Usage and Maintenance Guide

Usage Precautions

Before using the PFA water gun, confirm whether the material of the cleaning gun is compatible with the cleaning fluid being used to avoid chemical reactions or corrosion.

Although PFA material has good temperature resistance, pay attention to its temperature range when using under extreme temperatures.

Adjust the spray pressure of the water gun according to the requirements of the cleaning task to achieve the best cleaning results.

Maintenance Recommendations

Regularly inspect the nozzle and connection parts of the water gun to ensure there is no blockage or damage; clean or replace them as necessary.

Although PFA material has excellent durability, proper maintenance can extend its service life and ensure consistent cleaning performance.

Clean the water gun promptly after use to avoid chemical residue and maintain stable performance.
