Why is PVDF rated this way to Iodine Pentafluoride?
PVDF has limited resistance to Iodine Pentafluoride. Short-term exposure may be acceptable, but prolonged contact is not recommended.
⚠️ When NOT to use PVDF
Avoid using Polyvinylidene Fluoride with strong bases (NaOH >10%), ketones, esters, and amines. Service temperature up to 150°C.
