PVDF Standard Tubing
Description PVDF tubing is a stronger, more abrasion resistant material than its per-fluorinated (all Carbon-Fluorine – CF2) counterparts such as PTFE, FEP and PFA at moderate temperatures. This is due to its resemblance to the structure of polyethylene (Carbon-Hydrogen – CH2). The alternating CF2 and CH2 pendant groups in the molecular structure imparts a unique blend of mechanical wear, thermal, age-weathering, UV and gamma radiation resistance and high purity properties that is useful in a broad class of applications. The mechanical toughness of PVDF is attributable to its excellent creep, fatigue and cut through resistances. PVDF offers excellent cost/performance benefits with high purity properties, inertness to attack to a wide range of chemicals, and a use temperature range of -58F to 302F (-50C to 150C). The list of properties offered by PVDF make it a preferred material for applications that require high chemical resistance, flame resistance, good electrical insulation and abr
