PVC Type 1
PVC Type 1 is a commonly used thermoplastic offering excellent corrosion, chemical and impact resistance. PVC is an economical and easily machinable material enabling a wide range of applications. PVC Type 1 is commonly used for corrosive-resistant valve and fittings but can also be used for pool components, lab equipment among other corrosive environments.
PVC Type 1 has numerous benefits including a higher heat distortion temperature, high strength to weight ratio, industry compliance (ASTM D-1784, ASTM E-84, and UL 94 V-0) and does not contain any plasticizers or fillers.
