Xylene Resistance of PVDF

Is PVDF compatible with Xylene?

Compatibility Rating

At 20°C
A
Excellent
Excellent resistance - recommended for continuous use
At 50°C
C
Fair
Limited resistance - short-term exposure only

Why is PVDF resistant to Xylene?

PVDF shows excellent resistance to Xylene 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.

🌡️ Temperature Note

Performance degrades significantly at higher temperatures — rated Excellent at 20°C but only Fair at 50°C. For elevated temperatures, consider a more resistant material. Max service temp: 150°C.
