1. Mechanical properties
Mechanical properties are a measure of the material's ability to resist deformation and damage when subjected to force. For PVDF Foam Sheet, its mechanical properties mainly include tensile strength, bending strength, impact resistance and wear resistance.
Tensile strength: refers to the ratio of the maximum tensile force that a material can withstand in a tensile test to its cross-sectional area. PVDF Foam Sheet usually has a high tensile strength, which means that it is not easy to break when subjected to tension.
Bending strength: a measure of the material's resistance to bending loads. PVDF Foam Sheet has moderate bending strength, allowing it to maintain stability in many structural applications.
Impact resistance: refers to the material's resistance to impact. PVDF Foam Sheet has good impact resistance and can maintain integrity under accidental impact.
Wear resistance: a measure of the material's durability under friction. The wear resistance of PVDF Foam Sheet makes it suitable for applications that require long-term friction contact, such as conveyor belts, wear-resistant gaskets, etc.
2. Chemical corrosion resistance
PVDF Foam Sheet is known for its excellent chemical corrosion resistance. It can resist the corrosion of most acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents, which makes it widely used in chemical industry, water treatment and other fields. In the chemical industry, PVDF Foam Sheet is often used as a lining material for equipment such as storage tanks, pipes and valves to prevent the corrosion of corrosive media on the equipment. In the field of water treatment, PVDF Foam Sheet is also widely used in membrane components, filters and other equipment to improve water treatment efficiency.
3. Heat resistance
Heat resistance is a measure of the ability of a material to maintain performance stability under high temperature conditions. PVDF Foam Sheet has a high melting point and thermal stability, and can maintain good mechanical properties and chemical stability at high temperatures. This makes it possible to use it in high temperature environments, such as insulation materials under the hood of automobiles, high-temperature filters, etc. PVDF Foam Sheet also has good low temperature resistance, can maintain toughness under extremely cold conditions, and is not easy to become brittle.
4. Electrical properties
For applications that require electrical insulation or electromagnetic shielding, the electrical properties of PVDF Foam Sheet are also an important consideration. It generally has low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and good dielectric strength, which makes it widely used in electrical and electronic applications. In the insulation layer of wires and cables, PVDF Foam Sheet can provide good electrical insulation performance to prevent current leakage and short circuit. In electromagnetic shielding materials, PVDF Foam Sheet can also effectively block the interference of electromagnetic waves and protect the normal operation of electronic equipment.
5. Processing performance
Processing performance is a measure of the ability of a material to be easily formed and processed during processing. PVDF Foam Sheet has good processing performance and can be processed by a variety of molding processes such as injection molding, extrusion, and hot pressing. This gives it great flexibility in manufacturing parts of complex shapes and sizes. PVDF Foam Sheet can also be assembled by welding, bonding and other connection methods, further expanding its application range.
6. Special performance requirements
In addition to the above general performance, some specific applications may also have special performance requirements for PVDF Foam Sheet. In the medical industry, PVDF Foam Sheet needs to have good biocompatibility and non-toxicity to ensure its safety when in contact with the human body. In the field of environmental protection, PVDF Foam Sheet needs to be recyclable and degradable to reduce pollution to the environment. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, energy storage systems and other fields, higher requirements are also placed on the special properties of PVDF Foam Sheet, such as flame retardancy and thermal conductivity.
