PVDF Heat Shrink Tubing/Kynar Tubing, also known as Kynar tubing, is a high molecular weight thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent resistance to chemicals, high temperatures, UV radiation, and flammability. PVDF is commonly used in environments that demand supreme purity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.
Chemical Resistance: PVDF exhibits outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids and bases.
Thermal Resistance: The material maintains performance at continuous temperatures up to 150°C and can withstand peaks up to 175°C.
Weatherability: PVDF is highly resistant to UV and radiation, resulting in minimal aging, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
Mechanical Strength: PVDF offers good mechanical strength and toughness, maintaining its physical properties even at low temperatures.
Wear Resistance: It has a high surface hardness and exhibits excellent resistance to wear.
Flame Resistance: PVDF is considered self-extinguishing and not prone to combustion.
Heat Shrinkability: PVDF heat shrink tubing can shrink under the application of heat, conforming to the shape of objects it covers, providing insulation and protection.
Machinability: It can be easily processed by cutting, welding, and forming into various sizes and shapes.
Translucency: Some types of PVDF heat shrink tubing are semi-transparent, allowing for inspection of the underlying object.
High Purity: PVDF materials are free of additives and have minimal contamination potential for fluids and gases, suitable for semiconductor and medical industries.
