ZOTEK® F

PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)

High performance closed cell, crosslinked fluoropolymer foam

ZOTEK®​ F  foams are inherently flame retardant releasing very little heat and only small quantities of smoke during combustion. They are biologically inert and offer:

Characteristics

● Range of densities 30kg/m3 to 150kg/m3 ● Resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals including most solvents ● Thermal stability up to 160°C / 320ᵒF ● Excellent flammability resistance ● Low smoke & toxicity ● Resistance to UV, nuclear radiation and ageing ● High dielectric strength

Applications

Automotive

The ideal material for under the hood applications. With UL94 V-0 flammability rating, excellent compression strength and thermal insulation.

Manufactured via Zotefoams’ unique method, ZOTEK® F has negligible VOC content and is typically 10-15% lighter than any competing material.

  • UL94 V-0 flammability rating
  • Outstanding compression strength for protection against vibration and shocks
  • Stable up to 160°C
  • Excellent thermal insulation
  • Resistance to wide range of chemicals and solvents

Commercial, business and military aircraft and aerospace industries

Insulation Construction & Electronics

● Zotefoams T-FIT® range advanced industrial tube and pipe insulation systems
● For Semiconductor & pharmaceutical clean-room environments (sealing and insulation applications)
● Electronics industries
● Industrial applications such as chemical engineering, pharmaceutical production, and medical equipment
● High specification building and construction projects where UV resistance is key

Processing

ZOTEK®​ F foams can be processed using a wide variety of conventional conversion methods. These techniques include ie-cutting, water jet cutting, sawing, laminating, and welding into continuous rolls. They can also be thermoformed into complex single component structures providing benefits over multi-layer foam systems, such as weight and cost reduction.
