PVDF (Kynar®) offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, and features a high tensile strength (7,000psi@yield). It also has good thermal stability and can be used in sustained applications up to 300°F.
PVDF is extremely pure, which makes it a good candidate for food applications. When specified, PVDF resin complies with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.510, USDA, 3A sanitary standards and meets ASTM D3222 resin specifications. PVDF can be used as a substitute for Tedlar®, ask for info.
Another feature of Kynar® is its high impact resistance and durability. Compared to many thermoplastics, PVDF has excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, yet in thin sections such as films, PVDF components are flexible and transparent.
PVDF film is stable to UV light and the effects of weather. In cold, heat, sunlight and humidity PVDF Film does not wear out or get brittle. PVDF has low NBS smoke generation and superior LOI. Also available as a CS Hyde exclusive: PVDFstick® tape, PVDF laminated with high tack adhesive for fastener-less application.
