PVdF, like other melt-processible fluoropolymers, is a moderately soft and pliable plastic resin.
It's service temperature is 129° C (265° F), depending upon the specific grade. It features
a unique combination of electrical performance, temperature resistance, tribological properties
and chemical resistance. Although its temperature rating is one of the lowest of the melt
processible fluoropolymer resin family, PVdF features one of the higher tensile strength ratings
of the melt processible family, making it a good candidate for injection molding applications.
PVdF is used commonly in wire and cable jacketing and in the semiconductor industry/chemical
processing industry to handle a wide variety corrosive and aggressive chemicals. For many
applications, the cost/benefit ratio is ideal. It performs quite well in terms of chemical
resistance and can be readily extruded or injection molded. Colorant-Chromatics PVdF compounds
provide enhanced properties over unfilled grades of PVdF for applications that require special
performance or a combination of performance features.
Carbon fiber reinforced compounds

|
PVdF carbon fiber reinforced compounds feature improved tensile and elongation properties.
They offer good chemical resistance, along with excellent impact strength at cryogenic
temperatures and high temperature resistance. Because of the conductive nature of the carbon
fibers these compound provide low levels of conductivity and static dissipation. These
products are for injection molding.

Graphite PVdF compounds

|
The addition of graphite to PVdF provides an improved coefficient of friction.
|
Cross-linkable PVdF (XETFE) compounds

|
By blending in a combination of special additives with PVdF, XPVdF compounds can be cross
linked when exposed subsequently to electron beam radiation. Cross linked PVdF exhibits
improved cut through resistance, abrasion resistance and mechanical toughness.
Colorant-Chromatics offers off the shelf grades of these special formulations, or alternatively
can produce proprietary X PVdF compounds in confidence.
|
Antistatic compounds for static dissipation

|
PVdF antistatic compounds are used to dissipate static charges by providing
low levels of conductivity in PVdF.
|
Proprietary Compounds

|
Other compounds made from PVdF using special fillers can be made upon request to answer the
needs for special engineering requirements.
|
Extrusion/processing aid

|
Typical processing benefits are: better surface finish, expanded heat processing window,
elimination of die drool and higher line speeds.
