Poly(vinyl fluoride), or PVF, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic fluoropolymer produced by the polymerization of vinyl fluoride monomers. It combines moderate chemical resistance with good mechanical toughness and UV stability, making it suitable for long-term outdoor and corrosive environments where performance requirements are less demanding than perfluorinated polymers like PTFE or PVDF. PVF is valued in protective coatings, weathering applications, and flexible films where its balance of cost, processability, and durability outweighs the superior chemical resistance of its fluoropolymer cousins.
