Fluoropolymer Coatings with Kynar® PVDF Resin

PRODUCT CODE: Various
Kynar Coatings

WHAT IS KYNAR® PVDF RESIN?
Kynar® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), the homopolymer of 1,1-di-fluoro-ethene (VF2), is a tough, engineering thermoplastic that offers a unique balance of properties. It has high stability when exposed to harsh thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet environments. Kynar® resins are readily melt-processed by standard methods of extrusion and injection / compression molding.
Kynar Flex® resins are a series of PVDF-based fluoropolymers with higher flexibility than conventional PVDF.
