FluorX™ PVDF 3D Filament PVDF [Polyvinylidene fluoride] is a high-performance polymer which offers exceptional thermal and chemical resistances. Rated for uses up to 130°C – this filament can be used in demanding applications under the most extreme conditions. PVDF is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, making it a great fit for applications which will be exposed to harsh environments. Extruder Temp: 245-265°C Bed Temp: 90-110°C Heated Chamber: Not required Nozzle Specs: No special concerns Bed Adhesion: Nano Polymer Adhesive Layer Height: No special concerns Drying Specs: Not required Supports Works great with break-away support Benefits of PVDF Include: High Thermal Properties: 130°C CUT Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as automotive fluids, oils, gas, lubricants, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, and bases Non-hygroscopic, does not absorb moisture. No drying needed! Inherently UV-resistant with very stable H-F bonds. Low smoke and flame characteristics with a base resin rated V-0 Long-term hydrolytic stability Resistant to nuclear radiation Very good abrasion resistance – similar to Nylon and UHMW-PE for high-wear applications TECHNICAL DATA SHEET Click to open this material’s TDS. SAFETY DATA SHEET Click to open this material’s SDS. Filament Specifications: 1.75mm and 2.85mm /- 0.05mm in diameter Recommended Print Settings: Extruder: Between 245 and 265°C depending on your printer. Some need to get as high as 280°C. Platform Temp: 90 – 110°C Bed Prep: Nano Polymer Adhesive gives us the best results. Other: No or slow cooling fan. Print with speeds of 40-60mm/s as a good starting point. Drying Instructions: PVDF doesn’t absorb moisture, and doesn’t need drying! Safety note: This polymer starts to degrade and break down at temps above 290°C. Please keep your extruder temperature below that point to avoid degradation, offgassing, and mechanical property loss.
