Description

Kynar Flex® resins are fluorinated thermoplastic copolymers.

Kynar Flex® 2900-04 resin is a pelletized, semi-crystalline VF based copolymer. It can be used in extrusion applications such as flexible wire jacketing, or injection molding applications where higher Limiting Oxygen Index is needed for flame and smoke applications.

Additional characteristics:

Excellent thermal stability

Excellent abrasion resistance

Extremely flexible and tough

Meets UL 910 requirements

This material data has been provided by Arkema Technical Polymers.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
