PVDF PLASTIC MATERIAL & MACHINING
People turn to PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) when they need a high-performance engineering thermoplastic that has excellent qualities: high chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. Made of repeating units of vinylidene fluoride, this fluoropolymer consists of strong carbon-fluorine bonds that give this polymer its unique combination of properties.
Often known by its trade name, Kynar®, the resin features several remarkable capabilities. It can self-extinguish, having a great flame resistance. PVDF/Kynar® has low water absorption, high-purity, and it works in a wide range of operating temperatures reaching extreme levels. It's popular in chemical processing, biomedical research, and electronic components.
