Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)KF Polymer
Mechanical Properties
KF Polymer exhibits superior mechanical properties compared to other fluoropolymers due to its high crystallinity. In terms of tensile characteristics, it maintains a strength of over 35 MPa even at 100℃. Additionally, KF Polymer demonstrates exceptionally high creep resistance, which is remarkable for a fluoropolymer.

Thermal Properties
The melting point of KF Polymer is approximately 175℃ for homopolymers, with a glass transition temperature of around -35℃. This allows it to operate reliably over a temperature range of approximately -30℃ to 150℃ for extended periods. Additionally, KF Polymer without any additives has flame retardant meeting UL94V-0 or equivalent.
Chemical Properties
KF Polymer possesses excellent chemical resistance. With the exception of certain strong acids and strong bases, it demonstrates high resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and various organic solvents. This characteristic allows it to maintain stable performance even in harsh chemical environments where generic plastics would fail. Additionally, its ability to retain its physical properties over extended periods is highly valued.

Elution of Impurities
KF Polymer does not require additives such as plasticizers or heat stabilizers during processing, resulting in significantly lower levels of eluted substances compared to other general-purpose resins. Furthermore, its exceptionally high purity makes it suitable for applications such as piping for ultrapure water systems.
