Ferrous Chloride & PVDF Compatibility

PVDF temperature limit: 275°F (135°C). That is Arkema’s maximum use temperature for Kynar Flex® 2850 PVDF, the resin we mold, with Ferrous Chloride (Aqueous solution or solid). Arkema’s limits are for solid resin at atmospheric pressure and do not account for mixtures. Source: Arkema Kynar® PVDF chemical resistance chart.
