PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) is a high-performance fluoropolymer known for its excellent chemical resistance, weatherability, and mechanical properties. It's commonly used in applications where exposure to harsh chemicals, UV radiation, or extreme temperatures is expected. Key Features: 1. Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, and halogens. 2. Weatherability: High resistance to UV radiation and other forms of weathering, making it suitable for outdoor use. 3. Temperature Tolerance: Can withstand a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F). 4. Mechanical Strength: Strong and durable, capable of withstanding significant physical stress. 5. Non-Toxicity: Generally considered safe for applications requiring non-toxic materials. 6. Electrical Insulation: Good electrical insulating properties, making it useful in electrical applications. 7. Flame Retardancy: Typically has good flame retardant properties, although specific grades may vary. 8. Low Smoking and Low Flame Propagation: Useful in environments where fire safety is critical. 9. Lightweight: Relatively lightweight compared to metal connectors, which can be advantageous in certain applications.
