Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has higher stiffness and pressure capacity than PTFE, has the less smoothness and electrical insulation. It has high strength and high toughness under low temperature conditions and can be self-extinguishing. Its working temperature is between -30 ° and +150 °C. PVDF has excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance, and its outstanding UV and weather resistance is stable to chlorides, bromides and energy rays.
PVDF has high mechanical strength, high creep resistance, high sliding and wear resistance, low flammability, and good electrical insulation. It is commonly used in the manufacture of pipes, seals, pump parts, rotating discs, valves, slide rails, etc., and is suitable for parts manufacturing in petrochemical, chemical, metallurgical, food, paper, textile, pharmaceutical and atomic energy industries. PVDF can be used as a sterile filtration terminal filter in the pharmaceutical industry as it can effectively remove heat sources.
