Tedlar® bags are made from a polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film that is tough, durable, and chemically inert to a wide range of compounds. Bags used in environmental applications typically have a 2 mil film thickness and are applicable for a wide temperature range (98-225 °F). The bags have heat sealed, leak-proof seams and can be used to collect both liquid and air samples. This versatility allows the bags to be used for a variety of applications. Applications include: stack sampling, vent/flue sampling, soil gas sampling, TCLP extractions, calibration gas blending and preparation of standards, indoor air sampling, and ground water testing.
