PVDF Film

PVDF (Kynar®) is strong and tough as reflected by its tensile properties and impact strength. Compared to many thermoplastics, PVDF has excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, yet it is flexible and transparent. It is stable to UV and the effects of weather, has low NBS, and has an excellent transmittance of solar energy. Kynar can withstand temperatures up to 265°F, has a VTM-0 UL94 Rating and excellent chemical resistance. It can be used in filters, fuel cell seals, medical bags, diaphragms, release films, piezoelectric films and chemical-resistant tank linings. Its also a possible substitute for Tedlar®. CS Hyde stocks .003” through .020” PVDF film. It is sold by the lineal foot with no minimums. Slit rolls and Die-cut parts are available. It is also available with pressure sensitive adhesive.

PTFE Belts

Energy costs are sky-rocketing. If you are looking for ways to reduce energy costs, consider PTFE coated belting versus stainless steel or modular plastic. They provide energy savings, with better heat transfer and less energy absorption, have lower maintenance costs, are non-stick and easy to clean and are less expensive. They can be operated using simpler, less expensive pulley and drive systems.
