Polystone PVDF is a fluoropolymer-based engineering plastic known for its exceptional chemical resistance and good mechanical properties. This material bridges the gap between standard plastics and high-performance fluoropolymers like PTFE, providing superior strength and rigidity while maintaining outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemicals.
Sourced from Dotmar, Polystone PVDF is an ideal choice for demanding industrial environments. Its combination of high purity, excellent machinability, and very good ultrasonic transparency makes it a versatile material for precision-fabricated components.
Key Features
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Good machinability
- High stress-cracking resistance
- Superior mechanical strength compared to PTFE
- Excellent ultrasonic transparency
- Suitable for continuous use up to 140°C
Polystone PVDF is commonly used in chemical processing, semiconductor, and laboratory equipment for components such as valves, fittings, pumps, and tanks. Its ultrasonic transparency also makes it suitable for medical and acoustic applications, while its purity and chemical resistance are valued in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
