PVDFPolyvinylidene fluoride
PVDF is a fluoropolymer with excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength and a continuous service temperature of 150℃. It combines the excellent chemical resistance of fluoropolymers with good mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, so it is widely used in the chemical, electronics, pharmaceutical, food and paper industries. Its heat resistance is slightly lower than that of other fluoropolymers, but its high crystallinity gives it the best mechanical strength among them.
