PVDF Filament
Polyvinylidene Fluoride / Kynar
F
Not worth it
Also known as:Polyvinylidene FluorideKynar
Family:PVDFWhy Use PVDF?
- Prints like PETG but tougher; very durable; hydrophobic (no drying)
- Extremely chemically resistant
Things to Consider
- If overheated, decomposes into highly toxic chemicals (including hydrogen cyanide and hydrofluoric acid)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PVDF filament?
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride / Kynar) is a 3D printing filament. Prints like PETG but tougher; very durable; hydrophobic (no drying)
What temperature should I print PVDF at?
