PVDF is a high-crystalline plastic and a member of the fluoroplastics group
On account of its chemical and physical attributes, PVDF can be used in a wide range areas. PVDF is primarily used in situations that demand a combination of high chemical resistance, mechanical strength and the capacity to cope with thermal load. PVDF is often used as a lining to protect the interior surface of containers made of steel or polyester reinforced with glass.
PVDF is typically used in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries to make machine parts including pipes, fittings, valves, heat exchangers, cogs, bearings, bushings, pump housings, flywheels, and filters.
In the electronic industry, PVDF is used in film and panels in condensers, for example, as well as in printed circuit boards, pipes, tanks, valves, pumps, and supports. It also features in the manufacture of microchips and PCBs, and in situations where deionised water and various chemicals are used.
PVDF is suitable for permanent use in a broad span of temperatures, from -30°C to +140°C.
Physiologically, PVDF is a non-toxic material that normally contains no additives. Tests have demonstrated that PVDF is resistance to bacterial growth on glass. This means that machine parts made of PVDF can be granted FDA approval. PVDF is typically used in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in the food, paper, electronics and galvanising sectors.
PVDF provides a range of positive mechanical attributes:
- Hard-wearing, with good friction attributes
- Excellent mechanical attributes
- High resistance to ageing
- Elevated thermal stability
- Suitable for welding
- Resistance to UV and gamma radiation
- High chemical resistance
- Particularly good dielectric attributes
- Excellent tensile strength and low moisture absorption
- Weldable
- PVDF features superior self-extinguishing attributes (Non-flammable)
