PVC PDF

PVC is a rigid polyvinyl chloride that is highly corrosion and chemical resistant, making it suitable for applications requiring maximum chemical resistance. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is cost effective to fabricate. PVC exhibits excellent fire ratings and resistance to acids and alkalis while being machinable, weldable, and easy to work with. It provides consistency as an economical material choice for fabricating tanks, pumps, and other equipment.

PVC

(Polyvinyl Chloride)
PVC is a normal impact, high corrosion resistant polyvinyl chloride. Because of its exceptional corrosion resistance, it is ideally suited for
applications where maximum chemical resistance is necessary. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, cost efficiency, ease of fabrication and
economic balance make it the material of choice.
PVC conforms to ASTM D-1784-95 Class 12454-B (Formerly Type I Grade 1) and is manufactured without the use of plasticizers or fillers. It
can be used in self-supporting construction up to 140 F (depending on chemistry). It exhibits excellent fire ratings (UL-94V-0) and has a
flame spread under 20 per ASTM-E-84.
Strength PVC combines tensile strength and stiffness for the toughest applications.
Chemical Resistance PVC is resistant to most acids and alkali solutions.
Workability PVC can be machined, cut, welded and glued for fabrication versatility.
Low Cost PVC is an economical choice for fabricating equipment, tanks, pumps etc.
Consistency PVC is extruded through most of the available gauges for dimensional consistency.
Flammability PVC is self-extinguishing.
