Fluoropolymers have high melting points and corresponding high processing temperatures and continuous use temperatures, depending on the specific product. Perfluoroalkoxy  (PFA), for example, is at the high end; it has a typical continuous use temperature of 500°F (260°C) and typically reaches 715°F (380°C) during processing; equipment temperatures can be even higher than the melt temperature3. At the lower end, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) has a typical continuous use temperature of 300°F (150°C) and typically reaches 450°F (232°C) during processing3.
