Polyvinylidene Fluoride PVDF Pipes and Fittings
PVDF is a fluorinated semi-crystalline thermoplastic which is obtained by polymerizing vinylidene
fluoride. Without any additives, it has the intrinsic stability inherent to fluoropolymers even when
exposed to harsh environments, providing the user with a unique combination of properties resulting in longer equipment life.
In addition to the PVDF homopolymers, which are recognized worldwide for their excellent
performance in a variety of applications, specialty Polymers has developed a wide range of
VF2-HFP copolymers, and VF2-CTFE copolymers to respond to specific needs of the market.
