The versatility of PVDF has led to an increase in the use of PVDF-based coatings for vehicle bodies- Suzhou Shincell New Material Co., Ltd.

PVDF Foam Sheet is a lightweight, durable, and environmentally friendly material that can be used in a variety of applications. It is ideal for packaging and shipping products, as it provides excellent protection and cushioning without sacrificing structural integrity or durability. In addition, the material is very easy to print and shape, allowing for eye-catching designs that capture customer attention. As a result, PP foam sheets are revolutionizing the way businesses store and ship their goods, while also significantly reducing shipping costs and improving operational efficiency.

Polyvinylidene Fluoride, or PVDF, is a non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer produced by the free radical polymerization of Vinylidene Difluoride (VDF). Like other high-purity specialty plastics such as PTFE, PVDF is often found in applications that require the highest purity and inertness to solvents, acids, and bases.

In construction, PVDF is used in piping, tubing, vessel fabrication, molded valve fittings, tower packing and more. The material is extremely resistant to corrosion, etching, weathering and radiation, which makes it an excellent choice for harsh environments. PVDF is also non-toxic and non-flammable, making it suitable for use in food processing and manufacturing facilities.

Due to its unique set of properties, PVDF is also widely used as insulation on electrical wires. PVDF’s low thermal conductivity, flexibility, tensile strength and dimensional stability make it an ideal choice for insulating wires, while its chemical resistance and high temperature resistance provide maximum safety. PVDF is also abrasion-resistant, which reduces wear and tear during operation.

Other industries that frequently utilize PVDF include automotive manufacturing and chemical tank and equipment construction. It can withstand temperatures up to +150 deg C and is resistant to most chemicals and corrosive substances. PVDF is also highly oleophilic, which helps to prevent the buildup of contaminants inside the tank.

The versatility of PVDF has led to an increase in the use of PVDF-based coatings for vehicle bodies, including fuel tanks and gas line barriers, paint and anti-grime/graffiti protection, moulded body components and tank trailer linings. The material is even being incorporated into the body of electric vehicles as an alternative to metal, providing both environmental and cost benefits. In addition, PVDF can be used as an electrical insulator, due to its high dielectric constant and low loss factor.
