PVC

A widely used plastic in rigid or flexible form, with good chemical resistance and flame retardancy at low cost.

Example: machined PVC

What is it?

A widely used plastic available in rigid or flexible form, with good chemical resistance and flame retardancy at low cost. Common in plumbing, chemical ductwork, and electrical conduit.

Key behavior

Good chemical resistance and flame retardancy at low cost, though mostly used for functional rather than precision applications.

Why choose it

Chemical-handling infrastructure — piping, valve bodies, ductwork — where cost and chemical resistance matter most.

Applications

Valve bodies, chemical piping, electrical conduits.

Machining notes

Easy to machine and bond with adhesives; dimensionally stable under load.
