Solef PVDF
High-performance semi-crystalline fluoropolymers
Solef PVDF is a fluorinated semi-crystalline thermoplastic 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 excellent 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, aliphatic 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 �³ radiation
Excellent intrinsic fire resistance
Available grades approved for food contact 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.

Supplier: All kinds of plastic/polymer/resin raw materials, such as polyacetal (pom), polycarbonate (pc), petg, pctg, pet, peek, ptfe, pvdf, polyvinyl chloride (pvc), tpu, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (abs), pp, pe, pa6, pa66, biodegradation plastic pbat, pbs, pbsa, bio based plastic pla, pbst, etc plastic products, such as pvc flooring, pvc tape, pvc leather, pvc coated fabric etc
Polyacetal also called acetal or POM, is a popular crystalline engineering thermoplastic. It is specified for high load mechanical applications and precision parts, where strength, stiffness, stability and reliability are important. It has a continuous use temperature range of up to 180�°F (82�°C) or impact at low temperatures (down to -40�°C). It can also be processed by injection molding and extrusion methods. Application: gears door system safety restraint components conveyor systems components medical delivery devices ski bindings frames thin line bushings zip fasteners
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the world's third most widely used plastic and is an attractive alternative to traditional materials such as glass, metal, wood, and other plastic materials because of its versatility, durability and cost competitiveness. PVC is produced in powder form and then combined with other ingredients to create a compound with specific processing and end-use properties. It is widely used in flooring, wall covering and window profiles, pipes, film, automotive sealants and interior trim, cable sheathing, medical applications and technical coatings.
Polycarbonate (PC for short) is a high molecular polymer containing carbonate groups in its molecular chain. It is an amorphous, odorless and transparent thermoplastic engineering plastic. Its high strength makes it resistant to impact and fracture. It is lightweight so an excellent alternate to glass. PC is melted and forced into a mold with high pressure to give it the desired shape. It is widely used owing to its eco-friendly processing and recyclability. It can be processed by either injection moulding or extrusion. Application: Building materials industry Automobile manufacturing industry Medical devices Aerospace Packaging field Electronics industry Household appliances
Polyethylene terephthalate (or poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, or PETE) is the polyester family's most common thermoplastic polymer resin. PET has a glass transition temperature of 67 - 81 C and a melting point of 260 C. It is a crystalline saturated polyester. It is a milky white or light yellow, highly crystalline polymer with a smooth and shiny surface. Application: Water bottle type bottle tablet Water vapor bottle polyester slice Edible oil bottle tablets Carbonated beverage bottle type bottle tablet Hot filling bottle type bottle tablets Industry
PETG plastic is a transparent plastic. It is a product obtained by polycondensation of terephthalic acid (TPA), ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) by transesterification. Compared with PET, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol comonomer is added. Compared with PVC, PET, PMMA and other materials, PETG has excellent chemical resistance, impact resistance and environmental protection properties. Its products are highly transparent and have excellent processing and molding properties.
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic resin polymerized from propylene monomer. It is a colorless, odorless and non-toxic white translucent waxy granular material. Polypropylene is divided into homopolymers and copolymers, of which homopolymers are isotactic, syndiotactic and random. Homopolymer isotactic polypropylene is the most used. Polypropylene has good thermal performance.
Eastman Tritanâ?¢ TX1001 is an amorphous copolyester with excellent appearance and clarity. Tritan TX1001 contains a mold release derived from vegetable based sources. Its most outstanding features are excellent toughness, hydrolytic stability, and heat and chemical resistance. This new-generation copolyester can also be molded into various applications without incorporating high levels of residual stress. Combined with Tritan's outstanding chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability, these features give molded products enhanced durability in the dishwasher environment, which can expose products to high heat, humidity and aggressive cleaning detergents. Tritan TX1001 may be used in repeated use food contact articles under United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. Tritan TX1001 is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for Food Equipment Materials and is also certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Drinking Water System Components-Health Effects.
