Polyvinyl Fluoride

The commercial PVF film Tedlar(R) was first trademarked by DuPont 50 years ago. Since that time it has established itself as a polymer with excellent resistance to sunlight degradation (UV resistance), thermal stability, chemical attack, water absorption, and solvents. These properties, together with a high solar energy transmittance rate, have led to it becoming established worldwide as the number one choice for the backsheets of photovoltaic solar panels, and a fire-retardent coating used in aircraft. This book is the first and only handbook that describes polyvinyl fluoride preparation, technology, processing, fabrication and applications - making it essential reading for engineers and scientists working in industry sectors where PVF is utilized.Complete guide to the applications of polyvinyl fluoride in photovoltaics, aerospace, signage, etc.Technology guide for processing and fabrication of PVF filmsReference for properties and characteristics of PVF filmsThe only book available that focuses on PVF - properties, processing and applications
