Polyvinylchloride – PVC

PVC is a popular material, due to mainly its excellent chemical resistance and flame retardant properties. it has good mechanical and tensile strength and can operate continuously from -15°C to +60°C

  • High chemical resistance
  • Higher stiffness compared to polyolefins
  • Easy machinability on mechanical tools. It can be hot welded
  • Colour: grey, black & red 

WEAK POINT

Compared to PP it has lower shock and temperature resistance.


Mechanical

Mechanical: it is also used for mechanical components in corrosive environments. Compared to polyolefins, it has a higher tensile stress.

Food Contact

Food contact: it is suitable for use in contact with food and potable water.

Electrical

Electrical: good dielectric properties and weather resistance make it suitable for these applications.

Chemical

Chemical: the main application of PVC is in the chemical industry, thanks to its high resistance to acids and alkali and to its rigidity. It is used for components such as valves, flanges, gears, etc. in the chemical, galvanic and petrochemical industries.
