Altaflo® 500 PVDF Tubing & Pipe
Abrasion-resistant fluoropolymer for applications requiring chemical resistance and low permeability
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) is an abrasion-resistant fluoropolymer suitable for use in applications requiring chemical resistance with low permeability.
Altaflo 500 PVDF is the most abrasion and temperature-resistant of the PVDF products offered. Altaflo 500 provides excellent abrasion resistance and mechanical strength in use with many chemicals and solvents. With its extremely low extractable levels, Altaflo 500 is excellent for use in ultrapure water systems. Altaflo 500 is suitable for use with conventional fittings but is not recommended for use with flare fittings.

Notes: The above information is based on tests performed at 73°F and can vary in individual applications based on parameters such as temperature, chemical concentration, pressure, etc. Please consult the factory for details. For an estimate on burst pressure at ambient temperature, we consider a 3:1 ratio when exposure temperature is 73°F. However, Pexco does not recommend exceeding the suggested Working Pressure listed
