uPVC Rod Grey / Black 100mm to 180mm Diameter - 500mm & 1000mm Lengths

Large diameter unplasticised PVC rod in grey and black, 100mm to 180mm diameter, supplied in 500mm and 1000mm lengths.

uPVC rod is a rigid, chemically resistant engineering plastic that machines cleanly and holds close tolerances. In these larger diameters it is used for machined flanges, blanking caps, protective covers, valve bodies, large bushes and fittings in chemical, water treatment and process industries where metal would corrode.
