PVC Grey Plastic Sheet – Durable, Chemical-Resistant, Self-Extinguishing Engineering Material
Our Rigid PVC Grey Plastic Sheets (U-PVC) are available in thicknesses from 1.5mm to 3mm, offering a strong, lightweight, and cost-effective solution for a variety of industrial and construction applications. With high tensile strength, excellent dimensional stability, and impressive chemical resistance, these sheets are ideal for use in tanks, ducting, valves, fluid handling systems, and more.
U-PVC is rated self-extinguishing, weldable, and exhibits low moisture absorption, making it highly reliable in environments where chemical exposure and fire resistance are critical.
