Grey PVC Rod 200mm Diameter for Chemical Processing 200mm to 300mm diameter

This grey PVC rod is made from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, offering excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength. Ideal for various industrial applications.

Material Properties

The rod is constructed from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (U-PVC), which is self-extinguishing and features high mechanical and tensile strength. It has a limited operating temperature range of 0°C to +60°C.

Applications

PVC rods are commonly used in chemical processing tanks, valves, fittings, piping systems, and other applications such as pump components, electrical insulators, and fabricated fittings.

Advantages and Disadvantages

PVC rods offer good hardness, excellent electrical insulation, and high chemical resistance. However, they are not suitable for high wear applications or direct contact with food products.

Machining Characteristics

PVC rods can be machined to a polished finish and are easily bondable. For optimal results, use double-edged milling cutters and specific saw blades when cutting.

Durability and Longevity

Products made from PVC are known for their long-lasting performance, often exceeding 60 years. They resist oxidation and degradation, making them a reliable choice for various applications.
