PVDF vs PTFE: Which Fluoropolymer Should You Choose for Your Project?
PVDF and PTFE (Teflon) are both high-performance fluoropolymers with excellent chemical resistance, but they differ in mechanical strength, purity, and processing characteristics.
| Property | PVDF | PTFE (Teflon) |
|---|---|---|
| Max Service Temperature | 150°C | 260°C (500°F) |
| Tensile Strength | 45-55 MPa | 25-30 MPa |
| Hardness | Shore D 75-80 | Shore D 50-65 |
| Chemical Resistance | Excellent | Excellent (inert) |
| Purity | High (low extractables) | Excellent |
| UV Resistance | Excellent | Good |
| Friction Coefficient | Low | Extremely Low (0.05-0.10) |
| Wear Resistance | Good | Moderate |
| Machinability | Good | Moderate (soft, prone to deformation) |
| Relative Cost | $$$ | $$$ |
| Best For | Chemical processing, semiconductor wet process, water treatment, high-purity fluid handling | Seals, gaskets, chemical-resistant liners, electrical insulation, non-stick applications |
Choose PVDF if you need higher mechanical strength, better wear resistance, and excellent purity for semiconductor and chemical processing applications up to 150°C. Choose PTFE if your application requires extreme temperature resistance (up to 260°C), the lowest possible friction coefficient, or complete chemical inertness.
