Dyneon™ PVDF exhibits excellent chemical resist-ance to a variety of aggressive fluids and solvents.It is particularly resistant to inorganic and organicacids, hydrocarbons and halogenated solvents.This publication gives an indication of the chemicalresistance of Dyneon PVDF homopolymers to avariety of fluids at various concentrations andtemperatures.

Dyneon PVDF is not suitable for use with fumingsulfuric acid, concentrated alkalis and bases havinga pH ≥ 12. It swells in strongly polar solvents such asacetone and ethyl acetate, and is somewhat solublein aprotic polar solvents such as dimethyl for-mamide or dimethyl sulfoxide. Furthermore, thepresence of atomic chlorine causes stress crackingto occur in Dyneon PVDF parts. Chemicals that aresusceptible to the generation of atomic chlorine,either through chemical or thermal reaction, arenoted by the designation Cl*.

In the tests used to compile the following data,compression molded sections were completelyimmersed in the designated chemical for a minimum of 30 days. They were measured todetermine possible differences in weight, dimension or tensile strength. All tests were per-formed at normal atmospheric pressure unlessotherwise noted.

Symbols used and evaluation criteria for solid Dyneon PVDF(thickness ≥ 1 mm)

This symbol is used if:

✔ Dyneon PVDF is resistant

1) Weight increases by no more than 2%

2) Tensile yield strength does not change by more than 15%, and

3) Weight reduction is less than 0.3%

This symbol is used if:

● Use of Dyneon PVDF is limited

The response to at least one of the first two criteriaabove was negative. For instance, if the weightchanges between 2% and 5%. Dyneon PVDFmight be used in the medium, provided that it isnot subjected to undue stress, e.g. for linings,reinforced parts, etc. In this case, it is recommend-ed to contact Dyneon with questions or for moreinformation.

This symbol is used if:

✖ Dyneon PVDF is not resistant

There is considerable deterioration of the material:dissolution, chemical or physical attack, perme-ability, etc. For instance, the weight changes bymore than 5%.

In addition to PVDF homopolymers, Dyneon provides a variety of PVDF copolymers that may differ slightly from homopolymers in their chemicalcompatibility.

Dyneon also provides additional fluorothermoplasticsincluding PFA, FEP, ETFE, HTE, and THV™ FP withdifferent chemical resistance properties. For specificchemical resistance advice, please consult Dyneon’sApplication and Product Development team.

Notes: Solutions are aqueous, unless otherwise noted. “Sat.” indicates a concentration such that the solution is saturated at 25°C
