Poly(vinylidene fluoride), Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) is useful in coatings, film, filter cloth, instrument linings, filtration membranes, pump parts, linings and valves. It is also employed as a material for transducers in devices such as headphones, microphones and sonic detectors. It is also essential for piezoelectric and electrostrictive applications. In addition, it is useful for monofilament fishing lines replacing nylon monofilament. It acts as a standard binder used in the production of composite electrodes for lithium ion batteries. It serves as a high grade insulator for wires, nanomaterials and pressure sensors. It is utilized to make filters which are used to prepare samples for high performance liquid chromatography and other advanced analytical techniques.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
