Why use PVC in your applications:
- High Impact Strength Material
- Exceptionally Corrosion Resistant
- Relative Low Cost
- Bond-able and Machinable
- Vacuum Formable in thin gauge
- Self – Extinguishing Characteristics
- Good Overall Physical Properties
This materials is…High impact and has excellent bonding properties. Machines well and has very good impact strength.
- Excellent Flame Retardant Material – UL 94 V-0
- Flame Spread under 20 per ASTM-E-84
- Exceptional Chemical Resistance
- Extremely Durable and Impact Resistant
- Unsurpassed Bonding and Welding Properties
- Conforms to ASTM-D-1784-99 Class 12454-B (formerly Type 1 Grade 1)
Still not sure PVC is the proper material for your application, consult our free Plastic Materials Selection Guide.
Applications – Frequently used in:

“I thought of PVC as the pipe in my sprinkler system. You have more sizes and shapes than I could have ever imagined, and in stock no less.” – Henry E.
“We use thick gauge PVC sheet to make manifolds, and most places don’t carry thick gauge. You have all of the sizes up to 3″ in stock, you are a life saver.” – Kent Y.
