Hylar® PVDF is a fluoropolymer with a balance of physical properties that qualify it for high performance service in a wide range of applications. Hylar® PVDF possesses the characteristic stability of fluoropolymers when exposed to harsh thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet environments. Moreover, especially when treated at elevated temperatures, Hylar® PVDF can be dissolved in some polar solvents such as esters and ketones making it suitable for coating applications. This selective solubility is an advantage in the preparation of corrosion resistant coatings for chemical process equipment and long-life decorative finishes on building panels.
Typical industries served by Hylar® PVDF coatings include:
Chemical processing: corrosion resistant coatings for chemical process equipment
