PVDF pumps
PVDF is the acronym for polyvinylidene fluoride, a
semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer. Polyethylene is manufactured by
polymerizing vinylidene fluoride in the presence of a catalyst.
PVDF is defined by a density of 1.76 g/cm³ to 1.78 g/cm³
and is thus a high-density thermoplastic.
Polyvinylidene fluoride offers excellent chemical
resistance without the drawbacks of poor mechanical properties and/or difficult
workability that are characteristic of other fluoroplastics.
Besides its good weldability, PVDF also lends itself to
machining.
Compared to the polyolefins PP and PE, PVDF offers the
following advantages:
- significantly improved general corrosion resistance - significantly higher stress cracking
resistance - significantly higher thermal stability - good UV stability A major advantage of PVDF pumps is that
they can be operated for long periods, even when pumping difficult fluids,
before material damage occurs. These properties combined with close to 50 years’
experience with engineering plastics at Munsch translate into excellent
resistance to aggressive and, in particular, corrosive media of our PVDF pumps
and hence, into a broad application range. PVDF pumps are typically used for
pumping: -
hydrofluoric acid at all
concentration up to the boiling point - hot concentrated hydrochloric acid -
spent hydrochloric acid in
evaporation systems -
medium-strength hot sulphuric acid -
nitric and hydrofluoric acid pickling
liquors -
solutions of strong oxidants such as
hypochlorites, chlorate and peroxides -
acidic chloride-containing solutions
at high temperatures -
aggressive solutions contaminated
with organic impurities - liquid bromine and hydrogen bromide Vertical submerged pumps are also
available in this material. The submerged pumps are available for both wet end
and dry end arrangement. Pumps fabricated from PVDF are excellently suited for
pumping tasks in the chemical industry, in electro-plating plants, the
metallurgical industry, steel and stainless steel pickling lines, evaporation
and regeneration systems, flue gas and exhaust air cleaning systems and in waste
water treatment.
