Question: is pvdf the same as kynar?
Answer: PVDF stands for polyvinylidene fluoride. It is also known as 'Kynar', or more properly, Kynar 500®. ... However, as long as Arkema continues to protect its right to the trade name Kynar 500®, the generic way to describe it is 'polyvinylidene fluoride' or 'PVDF'. This is not exactly the same thing as a fluorocarbon resin.
