FluorX PVDF-C MAX

FluorX™ PVDF-C MAX 3D Filament

Our MAX PVDF-C [Polyvinylidene fluoride] was created for printing large parts with very low warp. This polymer is pure PVDF and offers exceptional thermal and chemical resistance for industrial-grade printing.

Rated for uses up to 150°C – this filament can be used in demanding applications under the most extreme conditions. PVDF-C is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, making it a great fit for applications which will be exposed to harsh environments.

Benefits of PVDF-C Include:

• High Thermal Properties: 150°C CUT
• Very low warping
• 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!
• 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

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 above 290°C. Please keep your extruder temperature below that point to avoid degradation, offgassing, and mechanical property loss.
