As PVC will withstand temperatures over 140 degrees F for short periods, this makes it a very useful engineering plastic product. PVC can be cemented together or heat welded for custom-made fabrications. The applications of PVC are almost unlimited, but it should be noted that rigid PVC will crack under impact. Pacific West can supply all your PVC needs either in the raw product, cut to size sheets, or custom made machined PVC parts.
