Vinylidene Fluoride Elastomer (VDF-based) from Germany
VDF elastomers like fluoroelastomers are synthetic rubbers from halogenated olefins, imported in primary pellet form under HTS 3904.90.1000. They exhibit elastomeric properties with vinylidene fluoride monomer at 95%+ by weight. Used in O-rings and seals for harsh chemical environments.

Import Tips
• Certify fluorine content and elastomeric recovery properties via ASTM testing standards
• Document as 'primary forms only' to distinguish from molded articles under 3926
