PVDF resin has long been known for its relatively high crystalline structure in the homopolymer form (-CH2-CF2). This led to its use in a variety of components requiring rigidity such as solid pipe, pumps, valves, and rod. The evolution into copolymer technology has expanded PVDF service options into areas where increased flexibility and stress crack resistance are required.
