PVDF 1000 thermoplastic – specific properties

Polyvinylidene fluoride, commonly abbreviated to PVDF, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic fluoropolymer that is most commonly used in such things as:

  • electrical applications in aircraft,
  • robots
  • electrical machines
  • gaskets
  • electrical insulation materials.

Being invented in 1969 by Dr. Heijji Kawai, PVDF became known as a tough, stable fluoropolymer with distinct engineering advantages and a good performance-to-cost ratio. Also, as an organic ferroelectric material, PVDF 1000 and its copolymers typically show better overall performance than their counterparts.
