When industries demand high chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and purity in a single material, PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) consistently stands out as one of the most reliable choices. Known for its excellent balance between performance and processability, PVDF plays a critical role in sectors such as chemical processing, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
At the forefront of delivering precision-engineered PVDF solutions is Vanéflon, a Belgian expert in high-performance plastics with decades of experience in material science, machining, and custom component design.
What Is PVDF?
PVDF is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer that offers exceptional resistance to chemicals, UV radiation, and oxidation. Unlike other fluoropolymers such as PTFE, PVDF is easily thermoplastically processed, making it ideal for components that require complex geometries or detailed machining.
PVDF’s key properties include:
- High purity and low extractables
- Excellent resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
- Strong mechanical strength and impact resistance
- UV and weather resistance
- Good thermal stability (up to 150°C)
- Natural flame retardancy
Because of this unique property mix, PVDF is frequently chosen for critical components that must endure aggressive environments while maintaining cleanliness and structural integrity.

All PVDF materials used by Vanéflon are carefully selected and validated for chemical resistance, thermal performance, and long-term durability, making them suitable for both static and dynamic applications.
Industries That Trust PVDF
PVDF is widely used in:
- Chemical processing plants, where its resistance to corrosive fluids ensures long-term reliability.
- Pharmaceutical and biotech industries, where high purity and sterilizability are essential for safety and compliance.
- Water treatment systems, especially in filtration and piping, are exposed to aggressive cleaning agents.
- Electrical and electronics, where PVDF’s dielectric properties make it an excellent choice for cable insulation and capacitor films.
- Aerospace and defense, where strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to harsh environmental conditions are mission-critical.
Vanéflon’s deep understanding of these sectors allows them to not only deliver the right material but also to help engineer optimized solutions that save cost, improve performance, and extend service life.
