Description
This high-performance UPVC blue tint sheet offers a robust, rigid solution for demanding engineering and industrial applications. Manufactured from unplasticised PVC, it combines excellent dimensional stability with reliable impact resistance, making it suitable for precision components, guards, panels, and fabricated assemblies.
With built-in flame retardant properties and strong resistance to a wide range of chemicals, this sheet is designed to perform in harsh environments where safety and durability are critical. Available in multiple thicknesses and sheet sizes, it provides a versatile option for fabricators, engineers, and maintenance teams requiring consistent, long-lasting performance.
Product Features
- Available thicknesses from 3 mm up to 15 mm for light-duty covers through to heavy-duty structural panels.
- Standard sheet lengths of 2000 mm and 3000 mm to suit a variety of cutting and fabrication requirements.
- Two sheet widths, 1000 mm and 1500 mm, allowing efficient nesting and material optimisation.
- Distinctive blue tinted finish for easy identification, aesthetic appeal, and improved visibility of edges and cut-outs.
- Rigid UPVC construction offering excellent dimensional stability and low moisture absorption.
- Flame retardant performance, helping to support compliance in safety-critical environments.
- Good chemical resistance to many acids, alkalis, and industrial cleaning agents.
Key Features and Benefits
- Durable and impact-resistant, reducing the risk of breakage in busy production areas and extending service life.
- Flame retardant properties help minimise fire risk and support safer installation in enclosed or populated spaces.
- Chemical resistance makes the sheet suitable for use around process fluids, cleaning chemicals, and fumes without rapid degradation.
- Stable, rigid material machines cleanly, allowing accurate cutting, drilling, and routing for precise fabricated components.
- Blue tint enhances visibility of guards and panels, aiding inspection, safety checks, and differentiation from other materials.
- Wide range of thickness and sheet size options helps reduce waste, optimise yields, and match the requirements of each project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this UPVC blue tint sheet be easily cut and machined?
Yes, the sheet can be cut, drilled, and routed using standard woodworking or plastic-working tools with appropriate blades and feeds. Its rigid structure allows clean edges and accurate machining when correct tool speeds and support are used.
Is the sheet suitable for use in environments with chemicals and cleaning agents?
The sheet offers good resistance to many common industrial chemicals, including various acids, alkalis, and cleaning agents. However, it is advisable to check compatibility for specific chemicals and concentrations, particularly for long-term exposure or immersion.
Can the UPVC sheet be used for outdoor applications?
While UPVC provides good durability, prolonged outdoor exposure and UV radiation may affect appearance and long-term performance. For external use, care should be taken with design and fixings, and additional UV protection or alternative materials may be considered depending on the application and service life required.
