PVDF Coatings

PVDF coatings form a "polymer barrier" up to 80 mils (.080") thick and are usually used to coat equipment in the chemical process industry to protect metal from the hostile chemical environments that they encounter.

PVDF has many unique properties:

• Unaffected by most chemicals and solvents
• Extremely abrasion resistant
• Self extinguishing (will not burn in air)
• Excellent mechanical strength
• Thermal stability
• High Dielectric strength (950 volts per mil)
• Resistant to weathering, UV rays and nuclear radiation
• Maximum service temperature 200°F/93°C at 20-30 mils DFT unreinforced
• Maximum service temperature 275°F/135°C at 60-80 mils DFT reinforced

PVDF coatings are useful when dealing with very harsh chemicals that would affect most other coatings. PVDF is used in many situations such as acid etching, electronic components, bleaching operations and insecticide facilities.

A PVDF coating can be reinforced with fiberglass cloth in order to extend the service temperature. The cloth is applied in place on the vessel or part to be coated by means of a "wet lay-up" technique.
