Description
This grey PVC sheet is made from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, known for its excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength. Ideal for various industrial applications.
Material Properties
The PVC sheet is made from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (U-PVC), which is self-extinguishing and offers high mechanical and tensile strength. It is easily weldable and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +60°C.
Applications
PVC sheets are commonly used in corrosive fluid handling, valves, tanks, and air conditioning and ventilation systems. They also serve in cladding, electrical insulators, and fabricated fittings.
Advantages and Disadvantages
PVC sheets provide good hardness, moisture resistance, and excellent forming characteristics, making them a durable choice. However, they are not suitable for high-temperature applications or continuous contact with food products.
Machining and Bonding
The PVC sheet machines well, allowing for a polished finish. It can be easily bonded with various adhesives, including solvent cements and contact adhesives.
