Kynar

Kynar is a brand name for a family of fluoropolymer resins produced by Arkema. These polymers are based on vinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Kynar resins are known for their excellent chemical resistance, UV stability, and mechanical strength. They are used in a wide variety of applications including architectural coatings, wire and cable insulation, chemical processing equipment, and membranes for filtration. The properties of Kynar can be tailored through copolymerization and processing techniques to meet specific performance requirements. The materials offer good resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and oxidizing agents, making them suitable for harsh environments. Their inherent weatherability and resistance to degradation from sunlight are also key advantages in outdoor applications. Kynar can be processed using various methods such as extrusion, injection molding, and powder coating. The material is also recognized for its good electrical insulating properties and low flammability. Its durability and long service life contribute to its widespread use across numerous industries.
