Frequently Asked Questions

Can this PVDF rod be easily machined using standard workshop tools?

Yes, PVDF rod can be machined using conventional metalworking or plastics tooling, such as lathes, mills and saws. Sharp tools and appropriate cutting speeds are recommended to achieve a clean finish and maintain dimensional accuracy.

Is the natural PVDF rod suitable for use outdoors and in UV-exposed environments?

Yes, PVDF has excellent UV and weather resistance, making this rod suitable for outdoor installations and applications where it will be exposed to sunlight and the elements for extended periods.

How do I choose the correct diameter and length for my application?

Select a diameter that provides sufficient mechanical strength for your part after machining, allowing for any material to be removed during turning or milling. Choose the nearest standard length (250mm, 500mm, 1000mm or 2000mm) that gives enough material for your components while keeping offcuts and waste to a minimum.
