General Info

Kynar® is a high molecular weight crystalline thermoplastic polymer of vinylidene fluoride -- PolyVinyliDene Fluoride or PVDF. Kynar® has excellent corrosion and chemical resistance and performs in many applications up to 300°F (149°C). It is used extensively in chemical processing applications because of its unique combination of properties. Kynar® PVDF possesses excellent chemical resistance, is tough and durable, and is easily fabricated into finished parts.

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
