Enplas PVDF

PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer known for exceptional chemical resistance, inherent flame resistance, high purity, and long-term heat stability. Compared with softer fluoroplastics (e.g., PTFE), PVDF retains stronger mechanical properties while remaining easy to machine, weld, and fabricate into sheets, rods, tubes, and complex parts. It performs reliably outdoors and in radiation/UV-exposed environments and is widely used where cleanliness and low extractables matter. Typical continuous-use temperature is 150 °C.

Material Characteristics

  • Outstanding chemical resistance to acids, bases, and many solvents; low permeability.
  • Continuous service temperature up to ~150 °C (302 °F), with melting point ≈ 171 °C.
  • Inherent flame resistance; many grades meet UL 94 V-0 (thickness/grade dependent).
  • Excellent UV/weathering and radiation resistance for outdoor and high-energy environments.
  • High purity/low extractables—suitable for ultra-clean service.
  • Good mechanical strength & stiffness vs. PTFE-class fluoroplastics.
  • Very low moisture absorption → dimensional stability in wet service.
  • Abrasion and wear resistance higher than many engineering plastics.
  • Good electrical properties (dielectric strength and insulation).
  • Fabrication friendly: weldable, formable; readily machined stock shapes available.
  • Food-contact compliant grades available (supplier/grade specific).

Typical Applications

  • Chemical-service equipment: tanks/liners, pump parts, valve bodies, flanges, fittings, manifolds.
  • Piping & ducting for corrosive media; wet benches and process tools.
  • Ultra-pure water (UPW) and acid handling components.
  • Filtration & membranes (PVDF membrane media and housings).
  • Wire & cable jacketing / plenum-rated data cables.
  • Instrumentation housings, sensors, and covers in harsh environments.
  • Lining/coating/barrier layers in multilayer pipes and vessels.
  • Machined parts from sheet/rod for corrosive, high-purity service.

Target Industries

  • Chemical processing & petrochemicals.
  • Semiconductor & electronics manufacturing (wet process, UPW).
  • Water & wastewater treatment / filtration.
  • Pharmaceutical & biotech (high purity, cleanability).
  • Food & beverage (with compliant grades).
  • Power & energy / EV (wire & cable, battery-adjacent uses).
  • Mining & metals / corrosive environments.
  • Nuclear & radiation-exposed equipment.
