Polyvinylidene fluoride

PDVF is a non-reinforced, highly crystalline fluoropolymer combining good mechanical, thermal and electric properties with excellent chemical resistance.

This is a versatile material whose properties make it specifically suited for the manufacture of components in the chemical, petrol, metalworking, pharmaceutical, food, paper, textile, and nuclear industries.

Specifications
- High maximum operating temperature in air (+150 °C continuously)
- Good mechanical strength, creep resistance, and stiffness (better than other fluoropolymers)
- Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- High toughness, even at low temperatures
- Good electrical insulation properties
- Good wear resistance and good sliding properties
- Good dimensional stability
- Physiologically inert
- Remarkable resistance to UV radiation and weathering
- Low intrinsic flammability
- Good resistance to energy-rich radiation (better than other fluoropolymers)
