What is PVDF?

Get the answer to this FAQ and others on the service and support portal.
 
PVDF is commonly called *Kynar and is a specialty plastic material in the fluoropolymer family. It is used generally in applications requiring the highest purity, strength, and resistance to solvents, acids and bases.  PVDF is an acronym for Polyvinylidene Fluoride. (*Kynar is a registered trademark of Arkema Inc.)

SITRANS LR250 now available with PVDF antenna

The Sitrans LR250 threaded PVDF antenna is designed for extreme conditions characteristic of acids, alkalis, and other corrosive chemicals: some examples include sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, and sulfuric and hydrochloric acid applications. These applications are not suitable for stainless steel and usually require transmitters be made from exotic and costly materials. However, the Sitrans LR250 threaded PVDF antenna is able to withstand such environments while remaining a cost-effective solution.
