PVDF Rods and Plates
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a highly non-reactive and pure fluoropolymer. PVDF is partially fluorinated and is easily extruded even in thick cross sections or large diameters. PVDF is generally used in applications requiring the highest purity, strength, and resistance to solvents, strong acids, weak bases, and low smoke generation during a fire event. It is commonly used in the chemical, semiconductor, medical, pharma, and defense industries. Applications in chemical processing rely on PVDF to withstand heat and pressure, aggressive chemicals, mechanical stress, and abrasive particles.
