pvdf

PVDF stands for polyvinylidene fluoride and is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic belonging to the fluoropolymer family.

PVDF is a very stiff and strong material with good thermal stability. It also has high UV resistance and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

PVDF has a broad range of uses, but is typically used for applications requiring good resistance to either temperature differences or strong chemicals. Examples of industries where PVDF is often used are the medical, chemical, aerospace or food industries.

Some of the most common areas of use for PVDF are for manufacturing gears, valves, hoses, piping systems, filters, pump housings, bushings or pumps. It is also approved for food contact. PVDF is additionally often used to insulate electrical wiring, because it is a flexible material with such high heat resistance, low density and low conductivity.

Main properties:

  • Low density (compared to other fluoropolymers)
  • High UV resistance
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Good electrical insulation properties
  • Excellent wear properties
  • Low coefficient of friction

    • Glass transition temperature of -35
