PVDF Homopolymers
Two distinct product lines produced by two different polymerization processes.

PVDF Copolymers

HYLAR® PVDF
  • Emulsion Polymerization
    • ASTM D 3222, Type 1
    • Latex Particle Diameter < 1 µm
    • Finished by Coagulation, Drying, and Grinding
    • Powder Particle Diameter - 10 µm
SOLEF® PVDF
  • Suspension Polymerization
    • ASTM D 3222, Type 2
    • Suspended Particle Diameter from 20 µm to 150 µm
    • Finished by Drying and Pelletizing
    • Powder Particle Diameter - 20-150 µm
    • Narrower Molecular Weight Distribution
    • Less head-to-tail inversion in the chain

SOLEF® PVDF

  • General Characteristics
    • Broad range of crystallinity; 20-60%
    • More flexible than homopolymers
  • HFP Copolymers
    • 11000 series, heterogenous HFP distribution, 10% HFP
    • 20000 series, more homogenous HFP distribution,
      hence lower crystallinity, 8-15% HFP
  • CTFE Copolymers - 30000 series
    • Strongly heterogenous copolymer
    • 10, 15, and 20% CTFE
    • Broad use temperature range, down to -30°C
