Plating Chemicals Rated Excellent for PVDF

Each chemical page shows the rating for PVDF tanks, fittings and EPDM, Viton and Buna-N gaskets.

What to consider

Getting the Right Tank the First Time

Send the chemical, concentration, temperature and size. We’ll match the resin, specific gravity rating and fittings.

  • Chromic acid: rated Excellent for PVDF at 10% and 30%. It is not recommended for polypropylene.
  • Heat: PVDF handles up to 275°F in some applications, compared with 200°F for polypropylene.
  • Lower-cost option for milder baths: for sulfuric acid, alkaline cleaners and many etchants, see polypropylene plating tanks.
  • Fittings installed at our plant: outlets, overflows and valves placed where your line needs them.
