PVC

PVC (Polyvinylchloride) is a heavy duty yet cost effective plastic known for its excellent acid & corrosion resitant properties. The anti-corrosive properties of PVC are remarkably higher than many other engineering plastics. Available in rod, sheet, roll and film, PVC is easily formable and weldable, and with the ability to withstand high temperatures for short periods it can be heat welded or cemented together for custom made fabrications.

Commonly used in various industries to contain corrosive solutions and chemicals, the applications of PVC are almost unlimited, from credit cards and records, to specialized machine parts, corrosion resistant tanks and etchers, and use in water treatment facilities.
Clear PVC roll serves many purposes, such as awnings in outdoor seating areas, table covers, and covers for gazebos and other outdoor structures, to name a few.
