Description
Rigid PVC is a high-strength, durable, and chemically resistant thermoplastic widely used in construction, chemical processing, and signage applications. It offers low moisture absorption, excellent electrical insulation, and good machinability, making it versatile for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses. Rigid PVC is non-flexible, provides excellent corrosion resistance, and maintains performance over a broad temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F).
Rigid PVC is available in sheets, rods, tubes, and fabricated parts, suitable for machining, forming, and other custom processing.
