Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based polymer resins have been used for corrosive and
chemically aggressive fluid containment since 1964. Original components supplied with this
resin were rigid piping, valves & fittings, tanks, linings, and heat shrinkable tubing. As plastic
processing technologies grew, additional products were offered such as nozzles, dump tower
packing, pumps, flow meters, coatings, filtration membranes, and fabrics. In the 1980’s
copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene (HFP) were introduced to
compliment the very rigid PVDF product line with a more flexible version. These materials
were used as flexible tubing and as linings for large metal components.
