PVDF – Polyvinylidene fluoride – is a pure thermoplastic and contains, like the other thermoplastics, no stabilizers against UV rays, additives against thermal aging, flexible agents or self-extinguishing components.
This line includes semi-finished products as sheets and pipes and fittings , who are produced with two different material type named SOLEF and KYNAR , booth registers Trade name. The sheets have an backing system of mats/meshes while the pipes and fittings have an chemically treated surface for lining with thermosetting resins .
The sheets are present in this line with wall thickness between 2 and 5 mm in normally or rolled execution. The backing system for SOLEF sheets are polyester mats, for KYNAR sheets we have synthetic mats.
Pipes and fittings are only in SOLEF material produced and the sizes of pipes covered the range between OD 20 and OD 400 mm ,the fittings have a range from OD 20 to OD 200 mm .The backing system is here for all components a chemical treated surface.
The fire resistance rating is V-0 according to UL 94 standard, so, this material is ranked as self-extinguishing.
The PVDF pipes, fittings and valves, which are certified, fully comply with the European regulations mentioned in Directive 97/23/EC on the PED - Pressure Equipment Directive - homologation and approval.
