CHROMIC ACID 30% & PVDF Compatibility

CHROMIC ACID is used in Chrome Plating, making of Ceramic Glazes and colored glass.

PVDF temperature limit: 175°F (80°C). That is Arkema’s maximum use temperature for Kynar Flex® 2850 PVDF, the resin we mold, with Chromic Acid (Up to 40% in water). Arkema’s limits are for solid resin at atmospheric pressure and do not account for mixtures. Source: Arkema Kynar® PVDF chemical resistance chart.
