Product Texts
DESIGNATION ISO 12086-PVDF-E,GG1N,P.?E7.I.E.E.C,, ?(7-15)

KYNAR PVDF are fluorinated thermoplastic homopolymers.

Outstanding characteristics of KYNAR : chemical resistance, imperviousness 
to UV, high barrier properties, high purity, good mechanical and 
thermomechanical properties.

Main applications of KYNAR: corrosion protection in the chemical industry, 
coating (painting, coextrusion), off shore, wire and cable.

KYNAR 740 is a standard grade of granules for extrusion of tubes and
plaques, compression and transfer moulding.This product is ANSI/NSF
Standard 61 certified.

Powder form available as KYNAR 741.
