Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) is a highly non-reactive and pure thermoplastic fluoropolymer produced by the polymerization of vinylidene difluoride. PVDF is a specialty plastic material in the fluoropolymer family; it is used generally in applications requiring the highest purity, strength, and resistance to solvents, acids, bases, and heat and low-smoke generation during a fire event.
The PVDF paint has extremely good gloss and color retention and is in use on many prominent buildings around the world.
PVDF is commonly used as insulation on electrical wires, because of its combination of flexibility, low weight, low thermal conductivity, high chemical-corrosion resistance, and heat resistance.
The PDVF coating used in our s-Wall has an outdoor resistance of 15 years.
Polyethylene coatings (PE) are thermoplastic coatings that have excellent impact resistance and UV stability and resists stress cracking. With characteristics very similar to vinyl coatings, this coating is very environmentally friendly because it does not emit bad fumes during processing as do vinyl coatings.
Some applications where PE coatings are found are stadium seating, street furniture, sign posts, fences and fence posts, piping, battery boxes, ducting, vibratory feeders, potable water fittings, springs, and many more.
The s3-Wall is available with single-coat PE and double-coat PE. The outdoor resistance for single-coat PE is 5 to 7 years, and for double-coat 7 to 9 years.
