Kynar PVDF
NilePolymer · Fluorinar-H
PVDF by the filament route, based on Kynar. Compared with the pellet grade, this version suits smaller parts with finer detail, at the same exceptional chemical resistance.

These values are taken from the manufacturer datasheet and apply to the material, not to the printed part. In 3D printing the achievable properties depend on part orientation, layer height and process parameters – in the Z direction in particular they are lower. Please talk to us before relying on them for design.
“Qualified for functional parts” is a general classification. A functional part can be a simple clip or a main load-bearing member – the forces and load cases differ fundamentally. We therefore always assess in each individual case whether a material is suitable for your part.
