PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is known for its' combination of chemical resistance and toughness. PVDF is highly resistant to oxidizers and halogens with nearly complete resistance to aliphatics, aromatics, chlorinated solvents, and alcohol. PVDF resists most bases and acids, except fuming sulfuric. It is thermally stable, mechanically strong, and possesses high dielectric properties. PVDF is self extinguishing, non toxic, and is resistant to UV and gamma rays.
