(Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF is a melt processable fluropolymer. It is similar in properties to other fluropolymers, but has better strength and lower creep than the other members of this family.
PVDF has good wear resistance , and excellent chemical resistance. But does not perform well at elevated temperatures.
