- PVdF is pre shrunk prior to the deposition of electrodes and further "shrinking" is not required
- Exposure to temperatures above 80°C will start to irreversibly degrade the performance of PVdF
- Do not solder onto PVdF as this can cause local depolarization
- To make a connection to the metallised PVdF consider the use of:
- Mechanical connection via a crimp or fold
- Adhesive connection using silver loaded epoxy
- To bond PVdF to a substrate use a low viscosity epoxy or nitrile contact adhesive. In either case make sure sufficient pressure is applied during cure.
- To cut PVdF use a sharp scalpel
