PVDF (polyvinylidenefluoride)

PVDF is an opaque, semi-crystalline, thermoplastic fluoroplastic.

PVDF is characterized by excellent chemical resistance, but without sharing the disadvantages of low mechanical values or difficult machinability of the other fluoroplastics.

Properties

The properties of PVDF are:

higher mechanical strength than PTFE
low density compared to other fluoroplastics
high chemical resistance
sterilisation and hydrolysis resistance
igh upper continuous service temperature in air (150°C)
no water absorption
BGA and FDA approval
very good UV- and weather resistance
flame retardant, self extinguishing
good dimensional stability
good hydrolysis resistance
radiation resistant
good electrical insulator
high abrasion resistance

Applications

PVDF can be used in the following areas:

Heat exchangers, pumps parts
Valves, pipes, fittings
Gears, cams, races
Bearing, housing
Mouldings for circuits
Insulators
Apparatuses of the chemical, petroleum, metallurgical, pharmaceutical, food, nuclear and papermaking industries

Availability

PVDF is available in the following dimensions:

Extruded sheets: 2000 x 1000 x 1 - 20 mm
Plates 2000 x 1000 x 10 - 80 mm
Plates 3000 x 610 / 500 x 10 - 100 mm
