What makes PVDF superior to other fluoropolymers like PTFE?

While PTFE offers superior chemical resistance, PVDF provides better mechanical strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. PVDF is also easier to machine and weld, making it more cost-effective for many applications. Its piezoelectric properties and flame resistance make it unique among fluoropolymers.

Can PVDF be used in outdoor applications?

Absolutely. PVDF exhibits exceptional UV resistance and weatherability, maintaining its properties even after decades of outdoor exposure. It's widely used in architectural applications, outdoor chemical storage, and solar panel components. The material resists degradation from sunlight, rain, and temperature cycling.

What tolerances can be achieved when machining PVDF?

Our advanced CNC equipment achieves tolerances of ±0.03mm (±0.0012") for PVDF components. Tighter tolerances are possible for specific features with appropriate tooling and fixturing. The key is using sharp tooling, proper speeds/feeds, and adequate cooling to prevent thermal expansion during machining.

Is PVDF suitable for high-purity applications?

Yes, PVDF is extensively used in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and ultrapure water applications. The material exhibits extremely low extractables and particle generation. Natural PVDF contains no additives or stabilizers that could contaminate sensitive processes. Special high-purity grades are available for the most demanding applications.

Can PVDF components be welded or bonded?

PVDF can be effectively welded using hot air, extrusion, or butt fusion welding techniques. This allows fabrication of complex assemblies, tanks, and piping systems. While adhesive bonding is challenging due to PVDF's low surface energy, surface treatments can improve bondability. We offer complete PVDF welding and assembly services.
