Polyvinyl Chloride, or PVC, is usually an amorphous thermoplastic material with excellent chemical resistance and dielectric properties, good tensile, flexural and mechanical strength, low moisture absorption, exceptional dimensional stability and good flammability characteristics.
Meyer Plastics offers two main classifications of polyvinyl chloride materials:
Rigid Polyvinyl Chloride Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC)
Rigid Polyvinyl Chloride:
Rigid PVC is the most common type of PVC used in the manufacture of pipe, fittings, valves, machining shapes, sheet and duct. Rigid PVC offers advantages for piping and related applications due to its low cost, high strength to weight ratio, pressure bearing capability, corrosion and chemical resistance and low friction loss characteristics.
Harvel – PVC pipes, ducts and shapes Ultra White – UV resistant PVCVintec I® – high corrosion resistant PVC Vintec II® – high impact, corrosion resistant PVC
Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride:
Rigid PVC is the most common type of PVC used in the manufacture of pipe, fittings, valves, machining shapes, sheet and duct. Rigid PVC offers advantages for piping and related applications due to its low cost, high strength to weight ratio, pressure bearing capability, corrosion and chemical resistance and low friction loss characteristics.
