Polyvinyl Chloride
2024-05-20 17:03Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a flexible or rigid material that is chemically nonreactive. Rigid PVC is easily machined, heat formed, welded, and even solvent cemented. PVC can also be machined using standard metal working tools and finished to close tolerances and finishes without great difficulty. PVC resins are normally mixed with other additives such as impact modifiers and stabilizers, providing hundreds of PVC-based materials with a variety of engineering properties.
There are three broad classifications for rigid PVC compounds: Type I, Type II, and CPVC. Type II differs from Type I due to greater impact values but lower chemical resistance. CPVC has greater high temperature resistance. These materials are considered “unplasticized” because they are less flexible than the plasticized formulations.
