PVDF

OMEGA-FLUOR ® Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has exceptional chemical resistance combined with good mechanical strength over a good temperature range. Its best attribute is chemical resistance.

The mechanical features of OMEGA-FLUOR ® are notably higher than PTFE and it does not suffer strain under load.

A member of the fluorocarbon family, OMEGA-FLUOR ®  is a melt processible fluoropolymer capable of being injection and compression moulded and screw extruded. It is stiffer and resists cold flow better than PTFE, FEP and PFA. However, its chemical resistance, anti-stick properties, lubricity, electrical properties and useful temperature range from -62ºC to 150ºC are lower than PTFE, FEP and PFA. Glass backed sheets of PVDF make liners for vessels as does FEP.
