Polyvinyl Chloride [PVC]
Standard Plastics 65°C
- Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and salt solutions
- Weldable
- Suitable for adhesive bonding
- Good electrical insulation
- Easy to process
- Vacuum formable
- Self-extinguishing when exposed to flame
- Superior impact strength
- Due to PVC’s limited heat resistance, operating conditions should be considered when designing parts exposed to high temperatures and continuous loads.
- Sharp tools and suitable cooling methods should be used during machining to prevent excessive heating.
- It is commonly used in the manufacturing of tanks, valves, and piping systems.
