Kynar^® PVDF Film

Highly Durable Kynar® PVDF Film

Kynar® PGM TR 3-layer film is made of two outer surface layers of pure Kynar® PVDF sandwiching an inner layer of pigmented fluoropolymer alloy, which gives the characteristic white color.

The pure PVDF outer layer ensures a higher fluorine content than competitive technologies, whose fluoropolymer content is often diluted by pigments and additives:

Kynar® 3-Layer PGM TR Film: ~59% fluorine in outer layer
Generic PVDF Films: <50% fluorine
Typical PVF Films: <41% fluorine
FEVE Coatings: <<40% fluorine – highly dependent on supplier

This outer layer surface ensures excellent weather resistance, fouling/dirt resistance, extended reflectivity, chemical resistance, and outstanding burn/smoke resistance. Long-term moisture barrier properties are proven to be outstanding.

Kynar^® PVDF resins have been used in some of the most challenging material applications in the world for several decades.

Application: Focus on Cable Ties

Outdoor photovoltaic cable management systems require durable cable ties which can withstand a variety of severe environmental conditions. Kynar® PVDF cable ties maintain mechanical integrity at both high and low temperatures, even after continuous exposure to UV radiation. Additionally, the excellent abrasion resistance of Kynar® PVDF makes the cable ties extremely resistant to mechanical damage caused by installation, sand, and debris.
