Materials That Matter

Abstract

POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE engineering plastic extruded stock shapes are part of a range of high performance engineering plastic products offered under trade name POLYMAT for machining into industrial components. These products are made using best raw materials in modern production facility under strict quality control regime. The result is crystalline, stress relieved products of consistent quality conforming to international standards. PVDF is a crystalline fluorinated thermoplastic of very high purity which exhibits excellent chemical resistance to mineral and organic acids, hydrocarbons and solvents. It's mechanical toughness, very low moisture absorption, wide range of service temperature from-40 deg C to 150 deg C, good wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, resistance to UV, self extinguishing nature and transparency to radiation renders it useful in host of applications in chemical processing, food, pharmaceutical and paper manufacturing. PVDF is amenable to standard metal working machine tools and can be fabricated with ease to yield smooth surface finish and close tolerances. Information on technical properties for designers is provided on the back side. More specific data and engineering assistance is available upon request.
