Kynar PVDF Industrial Coating

Kynar® polyvinylidene fluoride, the homopolymer of 1,1-di-fluoro-ethene (VF2) , is a tough, engineering thermoplastic that offers a unique balance of properties. It has the characteristic stability of fluoropolymers when exposed to harsh thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet environments, while the alternating CH2 and CF2 groups along the polymer chain provide a unique polarity that influence its solubility and electric properties.

Kynar® resins are readily melt-processed by standard methods of extrusion and injection / compression molding. At elevated temperatures Kynar® PVDF can be dissolved in polar solvents such as organic esters and amines. This selective solubility is an advantage in the preparation of corrosion resistant coatings for chemical process equipment and long-life architectural finishes on building panels.

Key Attributes of Kynar® PVDF include:

Mechanical strength and toughnessHigh abrasion resistanceHigh thermal stabilityHigh dielectric strength

High purityReadily melt processibleResistant to most chemicals and solvents

Resistant to ultraviolet and nuclear radiationResistant to weatheringResistant to fungi

Low permeability to most gases and liquidsLow flame and smoke characteristicsRigid and Flexible versions of Kynar® PVDF are available. You can know more about Kynar coating at cccoatings website.
