Kynar®

Kynar® Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) is a semi-crystalline, high purity thermoplastic fluoropolymer that offers excellent corrosion and chemical resistance at both ambient and elevated temperatures. PVDF is one of the most rigid and abrasion resistant of the melt-processible fluoropolymers. With service temperatures up to 150°C, PVDF is also inherently UV stable, mechanically tough, and abrasion, flame, and smoke resistant.
