Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sheets with carbon-filled CN-F exhibit remarkable properties, making them ideal for various applications. These sheets possess exceptional elasticity and resist abrasion, wear, and eruptions. They also excel in withstanding ultraviolet and ionizing radiation, often utilized in atomic energy applications where Teflon falls short. Their chemical resistance and operating temperatures surpass those of polyolefins (like polyethylene and polypropylene) and PVC (Vinyl).
PVDF is known for its poor solubility or general insolubility in many organic solvents, dimethylformamide, and ketones. It boasts a lower density than PTFE but a higher density than other high-temperature plastics. PVDF sheets find their purpose as construction materials for crafting products meant to endure harsh environments and radiation, operating effectively up to temperatures as high as +150°C.
Key Applications of PVDF Sheets:
- Outstanding Chemical Resistance: PVDF carbon-filled sheets offer exceptional chemical resistance.
- Inherent Flame Resistance: They possess natural resistance to flames.
- High Gamma Radiation Resistance: PVDF carbon-filled sheets exhibit high resistance to gamma radiation.
- Impressive Weather and UV Resistance: These sheets withstand harsh weather conditions and UV exposure effectively.
- Excellent Mechanical Properties: They deliver excellent mechanical qualities.
- Low Moisture Absorption: PVDF carbon-filled sheets absorb moisture at a minimal rate.
- Adequate Machinability: They are easily machinable to meet specific needs.
- Conductive Fluoropolymer: With a surface resistivity of 10^4-10^6 ohms/square, these sheets offer conductive properties.
PVDF carbon-filled sheets are available in various forms, including plates, rods, and tubes.
These sheets are also highly recommended for applications that involve:
- Operation under High-Energy Radiation: They are suitable for use in radiation-prone environments.
- Hydrolysis Resistance: PVDF sheets meet requirements for resistance against hydrolysis.
- Good Mechanical Properties: They maintain good mechanical performance, even though their operating temperature doesn’t exceed +150°C.
