Calcium Hypochlorite Resistance of PVDF

Is PVDF compatible with Calcium Hypochlorite? See the chemical resistance rating below.

Compatibility Rating

At 20°C (68°F)
A
Excellent
Excellent resistance - recommended for continuous use
At 50°C (122°F)
C
Fair
Limited resistance - short-term exposure only

Why is PVDF resistant to Calcium Hypochlorite?

PVDF shows excellent resistance to Calcium Hypochlorite due to its fluorinated polymer backbone providing excellent resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents.

⚠️ When NOT to use PVDF

Avoid using Polyvinylidene Fluoride with strong bases (NaOH >10%), ketones, esters, and amines. Service temperature up to 150°C.
