PVDF

Polyvinylidene fluoride

PVDF is the easiest fluoropolymer to process by injection and extrusion. It offers outstanding resistance to acids, solvents and UV, low friction and good mechanical strength, and is used up to about 150 °C. Applications include chemical-plant pipes and valves, high-purity water lines and lithium-battery electrode binders.

Overview

PVDF is the standard grade of the PVDF family in the high-performance plastics group. It is used in applications such as chemical-plant pipes, valves and pump parts, high-purity water and semiconductor lines, lithium-battery electrode binder. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

  • Lithium-battery electrode binder
  • Architectural coatings and cable jacketing

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PVDF are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
