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
FEATURES
 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.
APPLICATION
Mechanical: it is also used for mechanical components in corrosive environments. Compared to polyolefins, it has a higher tensile stress.
Food contact: it is suitable for use in contact with food and potable water.
Electrical: good dielectric properties and weather resistance make it suitable for these applications.
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.
