Chemical Resistance Guide for Handling Aggressive Fluids

Kynar® PVDF resins are widely used for piping materials, tanks, pumps, nozzles, tower packing and valves. Common handling applications include hot acids, halogens, high purity fluids, hydrocarbons and oxidants, as well as for those applications involving high purity water and chemicals or foods where metallic contamination cannot be tolerated. It can also be used continuously at temperatures as high as 140°C (285°F) in environments where chemical attack is minimal.
