1506

PVDF 1000 is a highly crystalline unreinforced fluoropolymer combining good mechanical, thermal and electrical
properties with excellent chemical resistance. It also shows good resistance to high-energy radiation
(considerably better than other fluoropolymers). PVDF 1000 is a versatile engineering material especially suitable
for the manufacture of components for the petro-chemical, chemical, metallurgical, food, paper, textile,
pharmaceutical and nuclear industries.
