KUREHA KF POLYMER is poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), which has been produced industrially by KUREHA since 1970. KF POLYMER is a flame retardant engineering thermoplastic with excellent fluoropolymer performance. It has excellent processing characteristics, similar to those of conventional polymers. KF POLYMER is being used in applications where heat resistance, corrosion resistance and weatherability are required. KF POLYMER is used for lithium ion batteries (as a binder material), membranes for water treatment, fishing lines, strings of various stringed instruments and for chemical valves along with other injection molded and extruded items.

Features of KF POLYMER
- KF POLYMER is one of the easiest processing fluoropolymer materials. It can be processed by injection
molding, extrusion and welding.
- KF POLYMER is a high purity resin with very low levels of extractables (TOC: total organic carbon, metal, and metal ions). KF POLYMER is processed without additives such as plasticizers or heat stabilizers. Please consult us if additives such as fillers, colorants, processing aids or other chemical substances are required. Some additives may cause
unexpected decomposition. In the case of using new additives, mixing test is strongly recommended.
- KF POLYMER has excellent chemical resistance in a wide range of chemicals and maintains its properties.
- KF POLYMER excels in heat resistance and weather resistance and is stable when exposed to ultraviolet or radioactive rays compared to conventional polymers.
- KF POLYMER is one of the best fluoropolymers in terms of mechanical properties, such as abrasion resistance and impact resistance.
- KF POLYMER has unique ferroelectrical characteristics and is applied to various piezoelectric-sensors and pyroelectric-sensors.
