PVDF shows a higher tensile strength, pressure resistance and dimensional stability than related PTFE, but friction and insulation properties are lower. PVDF has a high mechanical strength and toughness at lower temperature and is self-extinguishing. It s woring temperature ranges from to -60°C to +150°C.PVDF is stable to chlorine, bromine and high energy rays. It can be corroded by ester and ketone solution at high temperature.
Advantages
High tensile strength
High tenacity
High chemical stability
Low water absorption
Good friction and wear and tear values
Self-extinguishing
