uPVC Rod Grey / Black 200mm to 300mm Diameter - 250mm to 1000mm Lengths

Extra large unplasticised PVC rod in grey and black, 200mm to 300mm diameter, supplied in 250mm, 500mm and 1000mm lengths.

uPVC rod is a rigid, chemically resistant engineering plastic that machines cleanly and holds close tolerances. In these billet sizes it is used for machined flanges, blanking plates, valve bodies, large bushes, sight glass housings and heavy fittings in chemical, water treatment and process industries where metal would corrode.
