Product Description

PVC Sheet Description
PVC is the most widely used member of the vinyl family. Common applications include chemical processing tanks, valves, fittings & piping systems. PVC Sheets, Rods & Tubes offer excellent corrosion and weather resistance. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is a good electrical and thermal insulator. PVC is also self-extinguishing per UL flammability tests. PVC may be used to temperatures of **0°F (*0°C). Available in sheets, rods, and tubing. For improved impact strength, consider Type 2 PVC. For Higher Temperature Performance, consider CPVC.
