SOLEF® is a registered trademark of Solvay S.A.

KYNAR® is a registered trademark of Elf Atochem North America, Inc.
PVDF is a high molecular weight thermoplastic polymer with excellent chemical inertness. It is highly resistant to oxidizing agents and halogens and is almost completely resistant to allphatic, aromatics, alcohols, acids and chlorinated solvents. It is resistant to most acids and bases.
PROPERTIES:
Mechanically strong. High dielectric strength. Thermally stable. Resistant to low temperatures. Stable to ultraviolet and extreme weather conditions. Self-extinguishing and non-toxic.
San Diego Plastics stocks PVDF shapes manufactured by ENSINGER ENGINEERING PLASTICS.
Ensinger's tradename for this product is ENSIKEM®
ENSIKEM® (PVDF) combines typical fluoropolymer properties with the mechanical properties of more rigid thermoplastics.
Other properties include non-toxicity, high purity, a high heat-deflection temperature, and UV and gamma radiation resistance.
ENSIKEM is used in semiconductor processing, chemical processing and heat exchangers.
