PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-performance polymer offers exceptional thermal and chemical resistance for industrial-grade printing.  Rated for uses up to 150°C - this filament can be used in demanding applications and under the most extreme conditions.  3DXSTAT™ PVDF is resistant to most chemicals and solvents making it a great fit for applications that will be exposed to harsh environments.  

Product attributes include:

• High continuous use temperature - up to 150°C
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as automotive fluids (oil, gas, lubricants), fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids and bases
• Non-hygroscopic - does not absorb moisture - no drying of filament or special storage is needed
• ESD-Safe with a 10^6 to 10^9 ohm surface resistivity on 3DP sample using concentric ring test method.  
• Inherently UV-resistant (H-F bonds are very stable in exterior applications)
• Very good abrasion resistance - similar to Nylon and UHMW-PE for high-wear applications
• Low smoke and flame characteristics (base resin is rated V-0)
• Long-term hydrolytic stability 
• Resistant to nuclear radiation

Filament Specifications:

• 1.75mm

Recommended Print Conditions:

• Extruder Temp: 250-270°C
• Bed Temp: 90 - 110°C
• Bed Prep: PVA-based adhesive, Hairspray, Lightly sanded FR4 or Perf board.
• Other: No or light cooling fan; print speeds of 40-60mm/s as a good starting point 
• Drying: PVDF does not absorb moisture and does not require drying.  
• Safety note: This polymer starts to degrade at temps above 290°C.
