POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC)

DESCRIPTION

Polyvinyl Chloride is rated self-extinguishing, has an exceptional chemical resistance and is easy to machine. PVC shows high mechanical strength, tensile strength and can be used in applications ranging in temperatures from +5 °F to +140 °F. With repeated UV exposure, the material may change color and exhibit a slight increase in tensile strength as well as a slight decrease in impact strength. It can also be easily solvent cemented and welded.
