Kureha Piezo 2017
KF Piezo Film is based on KF Polymer (polyvinylidene fluoride) which is manufactured and polarized by Kureha.
Piezoelectric films convert mechanical fource into an electrical charge of proportionate amplitude and
frequency. Conversely an applied voltage will result in a proportionate mechanical defomration at the applied
frequency. The film is also pyroelectric, converting absorbed heat into a proportionate charge.

In -phase crystal, PVDF chains have polarity and stack in parallel formation. Consequently, -phase crystal has the
largest dipolar-moment and is used for ferroelectric applications. -phase crystal is produced by heat treatment of
-phase crystal. -phase crystal has polarity similar to
-phase crystal.

KF Polymer W#2200 (P(VDF / TrFE) Piezo
polymer)
Supplied in either powder form, or in a variety of
piezoelectric polymer configurations, KF-2200 is
also based on Kureha’s unique PVDF processing
technology. Copolymer of vinylidene fluoride &
trifluoroethylene (P(VDF/TrFE)) exhibits excellent
piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. The
copolymers very unique properties allow the
material to be solvent cast, extruded, sprayed, and
otherwise fabricated in a variety of shapes (ie
tubes, cylinders, fiber, wire or cable, or as
piezoelectric conformal coatings).
