PVDF for CNC Machining

PVDF is a high-purity engineering thermoplastic that offers outstanding chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, flame resistance, and UV stability.

Please note

The information contained herein are typical values intended for reference and comparison purposes only. They should NOT be used as a basis for design specifications or quality control.

Design Tip

To minimize costs, reduce the number of part setups, inspection dimensions, or strict tolerances, and avoid deep pockets with small radii.

Hardness

Material hardness is based on the Rockwell Hardness Scale.
