Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
PVDF is an opaque, semi-crystalline, thermoplastic fluoroplastic. PVDF is characterized by excellent chemical resistance, without sharing the disadvantages of the low mechanical values or difficult machinability of other fluoroplastics.
Properties:
- low density compared to other fluoroplastics
- good mechanical strength compared to other fluoroplastics
- high continuous operating temperature (140 °C)
- practically no water absorption
- good dimensional stability
- high chemical resistance
- good hydrolysis resistance
- weatherproof
- radiation resistant
- good electrical insulator
- high abrasion resistance
Applications:
- Chemical Plant Engineering
- Transport and conveyor technology
- Medical Technology
- Food Technology
- Mechanical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Solar systems
