PVDF
PVDF plastic (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a low density fluoropolymer generally used in applications requiring higher purity, higher mechanical strength, higher dimensional stability & resistance to solvents, acids & hydrocarbons when compared to standard fluropolymers. Continuous service temperature -30°C/+150°C, near zero moisture absorption & food grade compliance.
- Excellent mechanical properties when compared to standard fluoropolymers
- Outstanding resistance to minerals, acids, hydrocarbons, alcohols & solvents
- High abrasion, UV resistance & flame retardant

Features
Food Grade
TECAFLON PVDF plastic is FDA compliant, non-toxic & can be used in repeated contact with food products. Food Certification documentation can be supplied at time of order to align with your production batch. (charges apply).
Additives & Modifiers
TECAFLON PVDF is available in the natural unfilled grade as well as TECAFLON PVDF ELS Black which is electrically conductive or TECAFLON PVDF CF8 which is carbon filled. Modified grades are imported on request & may be subject to minimum order quantities.
Applications
Often used as an insulation or protective barrier in the chemical industry. Chemical, food or pharmaceutical applications requiring higher mechanical strength & loading such as valves, fittings or pipelines. Commonly replaces PTFE where higher mechanical or abrasion resistance is required.

Suppliers
PET, chemically known as polyethylene terephthalate offers good wear properties in moist or dry surroundings, with high dimensional stability due to its low thermal expansion. Good chemical resistance and dielectric properties.
PEI plastic offers high heat resistance, mechanical strength & rigidity. Extremely strong and stiff. Can withstand repeated sterilization. Amber in colour & widely used in the medical & chemical industries.
PPSU plastic has higher impact strength, better chemical resistance than PSU. With low moisture absorption it is suitable for super hot sterilisation & used widely in the medical industry.
