PVDF Rod

PVDF is a specialty plastic material in the fluoropolymer family: it is used generally in applications requiring the highest purity, strength, and resistance to solvents, ocids, bases and heat and low smoke generation during a fire event. Compared to other fluoropolymers, it has an easier malt process because of its relatively low melting point of around 177°C.

It has a low density (1.78) and low cost compared to the other fluoropolymers it is available as piping products, sheet, tubing, films, plate and an insulator for premium wire, it can be injected, molded or welded and is commonly used in the chemical, semiconductor, medical and defense industries, as well as in lithium ion batteries. It is also available as a crosslinked closed cell foam, used increasingly in aviation and aerospace applications.
