PB22000 SERIES
PVDF
PolyVinyliDene Fluoride (PVDF) is a melt-processable homopolymer with a recommended upper continuous use temperature of 150°C (302°F). PVDF exhibits excellent mechanical strength and toughness, stiffness, high dielectric strength, abrasion resistance, creep resistance, high purity, chemical inertness, low flammability, and low moisture absorption.
These properties make PVDF a preferred product in applications, such as gaskets, pipes, fittings, valves, and pump parts for the semiconductor and chemical processing industry. Our PB22000 materials meet the requirements of D6713.
