Description

Kynar® resins are fluorinated thermoplastic homopolymers.

Kynar® 370 resin is a thermoplastic fluorinated polymer resin. The properties are the same as standard grade: chemical resistance, resistance to UV, low permeation, high purity, excellent mechanical behavior with a higher HDT. This grade is especially modified in order to have a reduced mold shrinkage, low thermal expansion factor. Moreover, this grade has an increased thermal and electrical conductivity. This grade is available as pellet form for injection, extrusion, compression.

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.
