Nitric acid and pvdf

(OP)
Does nitric acid diffusion into Polyvinylidene Fluoride affect the mechanical properties of the plastic?
1) Is Polyvinylidene Fluoride chemically compatible with Nitric acid 45 % at 70 C?
2) And, will it diffuse and affect its mechanical properties?

RE: Nitric acid and pvdf

The book Chemical Resistance, Volume 1 - Thermoplastics, Second Edition says that PVDF exposed to 45% nitric acid at elevated temperature has a resistance of 8. That means 90-94% retention of mechanical properties and no substantial change in dimensions or appearance. They define elevated temperature as tests done at 45°C and above.
