PVDF Extrusion
Polyvinylidene fluoride, or PVDF, is a high-performing, cost-competitive polymer used in harsh environments due to its superior chemical resistance, wide-ranging working temp range and abrasion resistance.
Polyvinylidene Fluoride’s inherent purity and extreme hardness make this material ideal for a variety of applications requiring exposure to extreme environments in rod form or as PVDF tubing. Polyvinylidene Fluoride is often used in high-tech applications, in chemical processing, in energy, electronics, custom or specialty industrial applications, and even in electrical applications.
