PVDF – Polyvinylidene Fluoride

PVDF is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer that bridges the gap between the extreme chemical resistance of fluoropolymers and the mechanical performance required for structural and semi-structural applications. Compared to PTFE, PVDF offers better mechanical strength, higher stiffness and greater dimensional stability, while retaining strong chemical resistance and low flammability. 

PVDF maintains its properties across a wide range of aggressive chemical environments, including exposure to halogens, strong acids and aliphatic solvents. Its weatherability and UV resistance make it suitable for outdoor and construction applications, while its electrical properties and resistance to radiation make it a preferred material in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

PVDF is supplied in sheets and round bars in standard stock. It is used in chemical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, automotive components, construction, aerospace and wherever a fluoropolymer with better structural capability than PTFE is required.
