PVDF Filament

Polyvinylidene Fluoride / Kynar

F
Also known as:Polyvinylidene FluorideKynar
Family:PVDF

Why 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)
