PVDF (POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE) PIPES

Description

Key Features

1. Outstanding Chemical Resistance:
   • PVDF pipes are highly resistant to a broad range of chemicals, including acids, bases, halogens, and organic solvents.
   • Suitable for applications involving aggressive and corrosive substances.
2. Thermal Stability:
   • Can withstand continuous operation at high temperatures, typically up to 140°C, with short-term tolerance for even higher temperatures.
3. High Mechanical Strength:
   • Excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, and pressure, ensuring durability in heavy-duty environments.
4. UV and Weather Resistance:
   • Naturally UV-stabilized, making PVDF pipes suitable for outdoor installations without the need for additional coatings.
5. Flame Retardant:
   • Exhibits self-extinguishing properties with a high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI), contributing to fire safety.
6. Low Permeability:
   • Impermeable to most gases and liquids, ensuring purity and containment in sensitive processes.
7. Non-Toxic and Hygienic:
   • Approved for use in potable water systems and food-grade applications due to its non-toxic and hygienic nature.
8. Ease of Welding and Joining:
   • Can be easily joined using methods such as butt welding, socket fusion, or electrofusion for secure and leak-free connections.

Specifications

1. Material Composition:
   • Manufactured from pure PVDF resin, ensuring high purity and performance in critical applications.
2. Sizes:
   • Available in diameters ranging from 20 mm to 400 mm or more, with options for custom lengths and wall thicknesses.
3. Pressure Ratings:
   • Typically designed for pressures up to 16 bar or higher, depending on pipe dimensions and operating conditions.
4. Temperature Range:
   • Operates effectively between -40°C to 140°C, with specialized grades offering extended temperature tolerance.
5. Standards and Certifications:
   • Compliant with international standards such as ASTM D3222, ISO 10931, and FDA regulations for food and water safety.

Advantages

1. Corrosion-Free Performance:
   • Resists chemical attack and corrosion, even in harsh environments, eliminating the need for protective linings or coatings.
2. Low Maintenance:
   • Requires minimal maintenance due to its durability and resistance to fouling, scaling, and degradation.
3. Lightweight and Easy to Install:
   • Easier to handle and install compared to metallic pipes, reducing installation time and labor costs.
4. Long Service Life:
   • Engineered for durability, with a lifespan exceeding 20-50 years in most applications.
5. High Purity:
   • Ensures contamination-free transport of fluids in ultra-pure and sensitive processes.
6. Energy Efficient:
   • Smooth internal surfaces reduce friction, enhancing flow efficiency and lowering energy consumption.
