PVDF - Polyvinylidene fluoride
PVDF is a highly crystalline unreinforced fluoropolymer combining good mechanical, thermal and electrical properties with excellent chemical resistance. Its property profile makes PVDF a versatile engineering material, especially suitable for the manufacture of components for the petrochemical, chemical, metallurgical, pharmaceutical, food, paper, textile and nuclear industries.
- Parts of valves, fittings and pumps.
- High-stressed sealants in rubber processing technology.
- Sealants for chemically aggressive environments.
- High max. allowable service temperature in air (150°C continuously)
- Good mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance (better than other fluoropolymers)
- Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- High toughness, also at low temperatures
- Good sliding properties and wear resistance
- Good dimensional stability
- Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Outstanding UV and weather resistance
- Inherent low flammability
- Fairly good resistance against high energy radiation (much better than other fluoropolymers)
Engineering plastics and their products can be ordered from TechPlasty. Materials in the same group from different manufacturers are not always directly interchangeable because they may not all have the same technical parameters. Our technical consultants, who have many years of experience in the field of engineering plastics, will be pleased to advise you on the differences in the individual materials, especially in the boundary conditions. Detailed technical data of individual manufacturers' materials can be found in their data sheets.
