MAIZEY PVDF is a speciality plastic material in the fluoropolymer family; it is used generally in applications requiring the highest purity, strength and resistance to solvents, acids, bases and heat and low smoke generation in the event of fire. The strong bonds between the fluorine and the carbon are the reason for the extremely high chemical resistance of PVDF (close to that of PTFE®)
