Hylar PVDF
possesses the characteristic stability of fluoropolymers when exposed to harsh
thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet environments. It is readily melt-processable
by standard methods of molding and extrusion. In addition, especially at
elevated temperatures, Hylar PVDF can be dissolved in some polar solvents such
as esters and ketones. This selective solubility is an advantage in the
preparation of corrosion-resistant coatings for chemical process equipment and
long-life decorative finishes on building panels.
