ALTAFLUOR® 500 PVDF

1 of 9 products in this brand
ALTAFLUOR® 500 PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) is an abrasion resistant fluoropolymer suitable for use in applications requiring chemical resistance with low permeability. It is the most abrasion and temperature resistant of the PVDF products offered and provides excellent abrasion resistance and mechanical strength in use with many chemicals and solvents. With its extremely low extractable levels, ALTAFLUOR® 500 is excellent for use in ultra pure water systems and is suitable for use with conventional fittings but is not recommended for use with flare fittings.

Specifications
  • General: Resins meet or exceed requirements listed in ASTM D 3222.
  • Temperature: -20° F to 250° F.
  • Flammability: UL 94-VO rated KYNAR® PVDF resists combustion and does not promote flame spread.
  • Information is based on tests performed at 73° F and can vary in individual applications based on parameters such as temperature, chemical concentration, pressure, etc. Please consult factory for details. For an estimate on burst pressure at ambient temperature we consider a 3:1 ratio when exposure temperature is 73° F. However Altaflo does not recommend exceeding the suggested Working Pressure listed.
