FLUORX™ MADE USING KYNAR® PVDF

FluorX™ 3D Filament made with Kynar® PVDF

PVDF [Polyvinylidene fluoride] is a high-performance polymer offers exceptional thermal and chemical resistance for industrial-grade printing.  Rated for uses up to 130°C - this filament can be used in demanding applications and under the most extreme conditions.  PVDF is resistant to most chemicals and solvents making it a great fit for applications that will be exposed to harsh environments. 

FluorX™ is made using Arkema Kynar® PVDF that is ideal for 3D printing.  

Product attributes include:

• High continuous use temperature - up to 150°C
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as automotive fluids (oil, gas, lubricants), fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids and bases
• Non-hygroscopic - does not absorb moisture - no drying of filament or special storage is needed
• Inherently UV-resistant (H-F bonds are very stable)
• Very good abrasion resistance - similar to Nylon and UHMW-PE for high-wear applications
• Low smoke and flame characteristics (base resin is rated V-0)
• Long-term hydrolytic stability 
• Resistant to nuclear radiation

Filament Specifications:

• 1.75mm (+/- 0.05mm)

Recommended Print Conditions:

• Extruder Temp: 245-265°C
• Bed Temp: 90 - 110°C
• Bed Prep: Nano Polymer Adhesive
• Print Speeds:  25-40mm/s is a typical starting point until you become familiar with the product
• Other:  No cooling fan for speeds below 40mm/s, add 20-40% cooling fan above 40mm/s.  
• Safety note:  This polymer starts to degrade at temps above 290°C.  Please keep your extruder temperature below this point to aviod degredation, offgassing, and mechanical property loss.
