Dyneon™ PVDF
Chemical Resistance Tables
Dyneon™ PVDF exhibits excellent chemical resist-
ance to a variety of aggressive fluids and solvents.
It is particularly resistant to inorganic and organic
acids, hydrocarbons and halogenated solvents.
This publication gives an indication of the chemical
resistance of Dyneon PVDF homopolymers to a
variety of fluids at various concentrations and
temperatures.
Dyneon PVDF is not suitable for use with fuming
sulfuric acid, concentrated alkalis and bases having
a pH ≥ 12. It swells in strongly polar solvents such as
acetone and ethyl acetate, and is somewhat soluble
in aprotic polar solvents such as dimethyl for-
mamide or dimethyl sulfoxide. Furthermore, the
presence of atomic chlorine causes stress cracking
to occur in Dyneon PVDF parts. Chemicals that are
susceptible to the generation of atomic chlorine,
either through chemical or thermal reaction, are
noted by the designation Cl*.
In the tests used to compile the following data,
compression molded sections were completely
immersed in the designated chemical for a
minimum of 30 days. They were measured to
determine possible differences in weight,
dimension or tensile strength. All tests were per-
formed at normal atmospheric pressure unless
otherwise noted.
Symbols used and evaluation
criteria for solid Dyneon PVDF
(thickness ≥ 1 mm)
This symbol is used if:
✔ Dyneon PVDF is resistant
1) Weight increases by no more than 2%
2) Tensile yield strength does not change by
more than 15%, and
3) Weight reduction is less than 0.3%
This symbol is used if:
● Use of Dyneon PVDF is limited
The response to at least one of the first two criteria
above was negative. For instance, if the weight
changes between 2% and 5%. Dyneon PVDF
might be used in the medium, provided that it is
not subjected to undue stress, e.g. for linings,
reinforced parts, etc. In this case, it is recommend-
ed to contact Dyneon with questions or for more
information.
This symbol is used if:
✖ Dyneon PVDF is not resistant
There is considerable deterioration of the material:
dissolution, chemical or physical attack, perme-
ability, etc. For instance, the weight changes by
more than 5%.
In addition to PVDF homopolymers, Dyneon
provides a variety of PVDF copolymers that may
differ slightly from homopolymers in their chemical
compatibility.
Dyneon also provides additional fluorothermoplastics
including PFA, FEP, ETFE, HTE, and THV™ FP with
different chemical resistance properties. For specific
chemical resistance advice, please consult Dyneon’s
Application and Product Development team.
Notes: Solutions are aqueous, unless otherwise noted. “Sat.”
indicates a concentration such that the solution is saturated at 25°C
