Weatherable, Chemically Resistant Fluoropolymer Film
Norton® PVDF film is manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride resin. This product offers the best weathering characteristics of any fluoropolymer film available. Norton® PVDF provides very good performance when subjected to severe conditions such as heat fluctuation, UV exposure, and corrosive environments. Norton® PVDF is manufactured to strict standards for gels and gauge control, offering the best value for fluoropolymer performance of any film. This material also performas over a wide temperature range, from -62°C (-80°F) to 150°C (300°F).

Chemical Protection
Norton® PVDF film protects against exposure to many common acids, oxidizing agents, and organics. This broad range of chemical resistance makes Norton® PVDF an excellent candidate for pump diaphragms and tank linings. The thin gauge films offer bondability for protection of equipment exposed to air pollutants, corrosive media, and weather.

Decorative Applications
Norton® PVDF film can be adaptable to metallizing or printing for a variety of protective applications. The excellent chemical resistance to a wide tange of cleaners and harsh cleaning agents used in high traffic applications offers long maintenance performance. Norton® PVDF carries a UL V-0 flammability rating, which signifies self-extinguishing performance suited for aircraft interior panel applications.

Weathering Applications
The outstanding weatherability of Norton® PVDF film makes it an excellent candidate for products with outdoor exposures. Vinyl siding is protected with excellent chemical and abrasion resistance of Norton® PVDF film. The fluoropolymer properties are impervious to UV expsure and eliminate wear due to water and chemical exposures. PVDF = polyvinylidene fluoride
Used for Chemical Process, Electrical/Electronics, Protective/Decorative.
