Enhancing Composite Durability and Aesthetics with PVF Film

May 29, 2025 |

This session explores the properties of polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film and its role in improving the durability and performance of composite materials.

This session explores the properties of polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film and its role in improving the durability and performance of composite materials. PVF film has been widely used in various industries due to its resistance to UV exposure, moisture, stains and corrosion. Beyond protection, it also enables process flexibility and customized surface aesthetics.

Agenda: 

  • The unique characteristics of PVF film and how it enhances durability in extreme environments.
  • The history and applications of PVF film in composite materials, including interior and exterior use cases.
  • Its role as a silicone-free release liner for achieving different surface finishes.
  • The environmental considerations of PVF film as a non-PFAS material.
