perluoroalcossietilene

Explanation:
vedi:

pag 7 del .pdf

Si tratta di un omposto fluorurato, e infatti viene usato per realizare plastiche ad alta resistenza chimica.

Non ha nulla a che fare (a parte l'acronimo) con la paraformaldeide, la cui formula non presenta traccia di fluoro... vedi:

typo nella risposta - aargh!

era ovviamente "perFluoroalcossietilene" (la maiuscola è solo per segnalare la correzione, ovviamente)

Quanto alla tua nota - le sigle sono tanto comode ma fanno tanta di quella confusione... :-)

Notes to answerer

Asker: In effetti, il mio dubbio derivava da questo, solo che nel manuale che sto traducendo c'è un'occorrenza di PFA (Paraformaldeide) che mi ha confusa
