Westlake PVDF Film Westlake Plast Polyvinylidene Fluoride

Product Description

PVDF is strong and tough as reflected by its tensile properties and impact strength. Compared to many thermoplastics, PVDF has excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, yet in thin sections such as films, PVDF components are flexible and transparent.
Manufacturing Capabilities:

Thicknesses and Widths: 0.002 to 0.029 in up to 26 in wide

Finishes: all thicknesses available polished one side, matte the other (P/M)
