PVDF - Polyvinylidene fluoride
Solef® PVDF
Product description
Solef® PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer with a natural inherent flame retardancy. The product family is characterized in particular by its high degree of purity, strong mechanical properties, electrochemical stability and excellent chemical resistance even at high temperatures.
Solef® PVDF leads the industry in terms of purity, quality and consistency. The materials are based on 100% pure polymers without any additives and are manufactured in a special production line to prevent possible cross-contamination. Unlike many other plastics, they do not require stabilizers, plasticizers, lubricants or flame-retardant additives.
Thanks to their inertness and the near absence of released impurities, the products are ideal for components in distribution systems for ultra-pure water and other chemically pure liquids used in the semiconductor industry. The products are also used in membranes, healthcare and the oil and gas industry, as well as in lithium-ion batteries, wire and cable insulation and thermoplastic composites. Protective coatings made from Solef® PVDF offer improved weathering properties and excellent resistance to UV radiation and ageing. As some types of the product family have FDA approval, the products are also used in food contact applications.
