Solef 6012 Solvay Polyvinylidene Difluoride/PVDF Resins

Solef® PVDF is a fluorinated semi-crystalmoplastic which is obtained by polymerizing vinylidene fluoride. Without any additives, it has the intrinsic stability inherent to fluoropolymers even when exposed to harsh environments, providing the user with a unique combination of properties resulting in longer equipment life.

In addition to the PVDF homopolymers, which are recognized worldwide for their exnt performance in a variety of applications, Solvay Specialty Polymers has developed a wide range of VF2-HFP copolymers, and VF2-CTFE copolymers to respond to specific needs of the market.

Key Features

• Chemical inertness to most acids, alitic and aromatic organic compounds, chlorinated solvents, alcohols, etc.
• Very high purity
• Low coefficient of friction
• Continuous use within a wide range of temperatures
• Unaffection by UV and good resistance to γ radiation
• Exnt intrinsic fire resistance
• Available grades approved for food applications
• Good capability for thermoforming and very easily joined by welding

Performance

Relative Performance of Melt-Processable Fluoropolymers

In addition to Solef PVDF resins, Solvay Specialty Polymers offers a wide range of fluoropolymers which are also easily processable by injection, extrusion and all conventional processing techniques.

Processing

Solef® PVDF grades can be processed using techniques applicable to standard thermoplastics:

• Extrusion
• Injection, compression and transfer molding
• Machining

Items produced from all non-reinforced grades of Solef® PVDF can be easily assembled using standard welding methods, such as:

• Hot air welding with welding rod
• Butt welding
• Heat-sealing
• Ultrasonic
• IR welding
