Feedstock for Polyvinylidene Fluoride

The feedstock involved in the production of Polyvinylidene Fluoride is Vinylidene Fluoride. Vinylidene fluoride is synthesized from 1,1-difluoroethane, which is derived from hydrofluoric acid and acetylene. Changes in the availability of these raw materials significantly impact the production and sourcing strategies for VDF. Fluctuations in the supply of hydrofluoric acid or acetylene due to market or geopolitical factors can further lead to changes in VDF production costs and availability. The global capacity for VDF production is concentrated in a few major regions, including North America, Europe, and Asia. Therefore, any changes in production capabilities can affect global supply, which further impacts sourcing strategies for vinylidene fluoride. VDF production involves handling hazardous chemicals like hydrofluoric acid and is subject to strict environmental regulations. Changes in these regulations can affect VDF production costs and its sourcing decisions.

PVDF is made from vinylidene fluoride (VDF), which itself is derived from chemicals like 1,1-difluoroethane. The availability of these precursor chemicals is influenced by variations in the petroleum industry, which directly impacts the production and procurement strategies for PVDF. Shortages or disruptions in the supply of these raw materials can further lead to tight PVDF supplies and increased prices. Compliance with environmental regulations impacting the production, use, and disposal of fluoropolymers also significantly influences its costs and industrial Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) procurement. The availability and development of alternative materials that can substitute for PVDF in certain applications can further impact its market and affect its procurement decisions. The production and supply chain of PVDF and its raw materials is global. Thus, international trade policies, tariffs, and customs regulations also play a significant role in shaping procurement strategies for PVDF.

Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) for manufacturing Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) include all the major costs involved in setting up and preparing a manufacturing facility. It generally includes expenses for purchasing heavy machinery, such as Primary Polymerization Kettle, High-Purity Water Preparation Device, Polymerization Kettle, Spray Drying Tower, Extruder Unit, Stretching Machine, and Demulsification Equipment. It also covers costs related to constructing or upgrading the plant facilities where PVDF is made. Investments in advanced technology for process control and automation also fall under CAPEX. Operational Expenditures (OPEX) for producing Polyvinylidene Fluoride are the costs that keep the plant running day-to-day. It covers the cost of buying raw materials like vinylidene fluoride monomer, which is essential for PVDF production. OPEX also covers wages for factory workers, along with regular expenses for maintaining and repairing equipment.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Polyvinylidene Fluoride manufacturing.

• Production via Free Radical Polymerization: The feedstock required for this process includes Vinylidene Fluoride.

The production of Polyvinylidene Fluoride involves the process of free radical polymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) monomers in an aqueous suspension or emulsion system under temperatures of 10–150 degree Celsius and pressures ranging from 10 to 300 atm. This reaction relies on controlled radical generation to form semi-crystalline PVDF chains. The absence of catalysts and precise control over temperature and pressure leads to the formation of high-purity Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) as the final product.
 

Properties of Polyvinylidene Fluoride

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer characterized by its excellent physical and chemical properties. It has a density of 1.78 g/cm³, which makes it relatively lightweight compared to other fluoropolymers. The melting point of the polymer compound falls in the range of 166–180 degree Celsius, and a glass transition temperature of -38 to -40 degree Celsius. PVDF exhibits exceptional mechanical strength, with a tensile strength of 50–57 MPa and high elongation at break (50–250%), along with excellent impact resistance and hardness. It has outstanding thermal stability, with a continuous service temperature of up to 150 degree Celsius. PVDF is highly resistant to acids, bases, hydrocarbons, and solvents, though it is sensitive to strong oxidizing agents. It is also an excellent electrical insulator with a high dielectric constant. PVDF is highly weather-resistant, UV-stable, and has low water absorption, making it suitable for outdoor applications. Additionally, it has low permeability to gases and liquids and is semi-crystalline, which contributes to its rigidity and abrasion resistance.
