In the Chemical Process Industry (CPI), selecting the right materials is essential to ensuring the longevity and reliability of critical components such as pumps, valves, pipes, cables, batteries and sensores.
Xenia has designed a new range of materials based on PVDF, engineered to combine high performance and reliability for advanced applications.
Compared to neutral PVDF, these compounds offer permanent electrical conductivity, ensuring stable antistatic performance over time (ATEX Compliance) while preserving PVDF’s exceptional chemical resistance. Their V0 fire resistance rating enhances safety, while improved UV resistance extends durability, even in demanding outdoor environments.
At the same time, their processability remains similar to pure PVDF, ensuring complete integration into existing manufacturing workflows.

UV Resistance
PVDF is a thermoplastic fluoropolymer that provides excellent chemical resistance, including high tolerance to strong acids and oxidizing agents.
It exhibits outstanding thermal stability, with an operating range of -40°C to 150°C, and is highly resistant to UV radiation, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
With remarkable mechanical strength, abrasion resistance and structural integrity even at high temperatures, PVDF also exhibits piezoelectric properties and chemical inertness, making it highly durable in demanding conditions.
