Chemical Resistance Chart - PVDF

Note: The chemical resistance of any polymer is defined largely by the chemical structure of the material and the strength of the weakest link in this structure.

PVDF is often referred to by its trade name, Kynar®. It was designed primarily for applications requiring excellent chemical resistance, high levels of purity, and superior mechanical properties. PVDF is often used as a lining or protective barrier in chemical industry applications.

The information in the Zeus eNewsletter, website, catalog, and other sources present and discuss generally accepted properties for non-pigmented virgin polymer resins from which ZEUS fabricates its line of extruded products. Actual properties may change due to processing method, resin grade, extruded dimensions, and other variables. It is the end user's responsibility to fully evaluate and test the fitness of the product for their specific application.
