Fluorodur is made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) which ensures great mechanical properties and unmatched chemical resistance. The printed objects have high–temperature resistance and self-extinguishing behavior. Fluorodur can be used for outdoor applications thanks to its resistance to UV radiation. 

It is an honor that this filament is made using Kynar® PVDF by Arkema.
