Solef® PVDF
High-performance semi-crystalline fluoropolymers

Solef® 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, Solvay Specialty Polymers has developed a wide range of VF2-HFP copolymers, and VF2-CTFE copolymers to respond to specific needs of the market.

Key Features:
Chemical inertness to most acids, aliphatic and aromatic organic compounds, chlorinated solvents, alcohols, etc.
Very high purity
Low coefficient of friction
Continuous use within a wide range of temperatures
Unaffection by UV and good resistance to γ radiation
Excellent intrinsic fire resistance
Available grades approved for food contact applications
Good capability for thermoforming and very easily joined by welding
