PVC PLASTIC MATERIAL & MACHINING
CHEMICAL & MOISTURE RESISTANT MATERIAL IDEAL FOR CHEMICAL PROCESSING APPLICATIONS
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) takes a place as a popular material due to its breadth of applications in many different industries. As a synthetic polymer from vinyl chloride monomers, its molecular structure gives a versatile profile that engineers can formulate for rigid or flexible applications. The polymerization process creates PVC's integral linear chain of chlorine atoms attached to a carbon backbone that aid in this versatility as well.
The resin is a great material when machining plastic parts for thermoforming, chemical processing, or metal finishing. This moisture and chemical-resistant plastic also comes in a wide range of colors from clear to bright, bold hues, further elaborating on its adaptable nature.
