PVDF
PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a highly crystalline thermoplastic. Keeps your electrical, thermal and mechanical in a wide temperature range (-40 to 150 ° C). It is highly resistant to weathering and especially UV rays and Gamma.
It is dimensionally stable and resistant to a wide range of chemical agents, flame retardant, low smoke emission which makes the a good electrical insulator.
Unlike PTFE and other thermoplastics, it has a high resistance to mechanical deformation. It does not absorb water. It is absolutely non-toxic and can be used directly in contact with food. Good machining.
These properties may be enhanced by additives such as fiberglass or carbon fiber.
