PVC PDF

PVC is a rigid polyvinyl chloride plastic that is resistant to corrosion and chemicals. It has high strength for its weight and is cost effective to fabricate. PVC meets ASTM standards, can be used up to 140°F, has a flame spread under 20, and exhibits excellent fire resistance. It combines strength, chemical resistance, workability, low cost, consistency, and is self-extinguishing, making it suitable for applications requiring maximum corrosion resistance.

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 140º 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.
