It has the characteristic corrosive chemical waste streams. These Mechanical strength and toughness stability of fluoropolymers when exposed environments are generally found in: High abrasion resistance to harsh thermal, chemical and ultraviolet Pharmaceutical industries High thermal stability environments. Chemical industries High dielectric strength College laboratories High purity For chemical and high temperature High school laboratories Readily melt processable resistance, low permeability and high Hospital laboratories Resistant to most chemicals and solvents mechanical strength, Kynar ® PVDF resin is Food and Beverage Facilities Resistant to ultraviolet and nuclear used as a contact surface for the produc- radiation tion, storage and transfer of corrosive Independent testing of Kynar ® PVDF resin Resistant to weathering fluids.

Kynar PVDF resin is suitable for short-term contact with ® Kynar PVDF 740-02 5 35 many chemicals up to 150˚C (300˚F). If Kynar ® PVDF 1000HD 0 10 your application involves mixtures of chemi- cals and temperatures above 40˚C, Kynar® PVDF resin will most likely be suitable, but ® Kynar PVDF results are listed in Arkema recommends that you consult our ICC ES PMG 1060 and in technical staff prior to installing your system. Steiner Tunnel used for ASTM E-84 Testing IAPMO UNIFORM ES 0250 as compliant to ASTM F 1673 and ASTM E 84 25/50 Corrosive Waste Drainage and Plenum Applications Select grades of Kynar® PVDF resin easily achieve the flame spread/smoke developed rating of 25/50 when tested in accordance with ASTM E-84. This en- ables Kynar® PVDF resin pipe to be used in the plenum for applications such as corrosive waste drainage and laboratory chemical systems. \ Rating for Low Pressure Drainage System Chemical Substance Concentration* Rating Chemical Substance Concentration* Rating Guidelines Acetaldehyde A- Benzaldehyde A- for using Acetamide A- Benzene A+ Kynar® PVDF Acetic Acid A Benzenesulfonic Acid Aqueous solution or solid A+ products in Acetic Acid Benzoic Acid A+ 10% in water A+ chemical waste Acetic Acid 50% in water A+ Benzoyl Chloride A+ drainage.
