Solvay Specialty Polymers Hylar® 5000 HG Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)

Hylar® 5000 HG is a crystalline high molecular weight powder form of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) specifically designed for solvent-based coatings to provide improved gloss. It forms mechanically strong and tough films that have a broad useful temperature range. These films are highly resistant to most environmental conditions including gamma radiation and are essentially transparent to ultraviolet radiation. The weathering characteristics of Hylar® 5000 HG coatings lead to excellent performance for the long term.Hylar® 5000 is available only via a licensing program that specifies the composition of Hylar® 5000 HG coatings. A properly formulated finish contains sufficient pigment to make the film totally opaque to ultraviolet radiation at the nominal one mil (0.001 inch) film thickness suggested.Features: Clean/High Purity; Crystalline; Good Strength; Good Toughness; Good UV Resistance; Good Weather Resistance; High Gloss; High Molecular Weight; Low to No Odor; Radiation (Gamma) ResistantUses: Coating Applications; FilmAdditional Properties: Gloss - ASTM D523 40.0 min; Hegman Grind - ASTM D1210 5.50 to 6.00; Moisture Content - < 0.50 %; Purity - > 99.5 %; Thermal Decomposition Temperature - TGA 382 to 393 °CInformation provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
