Available qualities:
PVC-U
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC hard) is an amorphous, thermoplastic synthetic material, without plasticizer, which has a high hardness, strength and rigidity. The material offers an excellent combination of chemical resistance and mechanical strength, making it a cost-effective solution for many industrial applications.
Colors: grey similar to RAL 7011, black, white, red and light grey similar to RAL 7035
PVC transparent
Possesses the properties of PVC-U while combining high transparency. Due to its flame-retardant properties, chemical resistance and high transparency, this material is the ideal solution for visible applications in chemical plants and the bio- and pharmaceutical industry.
It has a slight blue tinge and is therefore not crystal clear.
PVC-C
PVC-C is a post-chlorinated PVC. It is characterized by a higher chemical resistance, especially to acids, alkalis and salts. The heat distortion temperature is increased to 95°C compared to PVC-U. It is mainly used in the chemical industry and in clean room technology.
PVC increased impact strength
Modified polyvinyl chloride with increased impact strength. It is UV-stabilized, can be used at temperatures below freezing and has excellent thermoforming properties.
PVC rigid foam
Foamed rigid PVC, which is convincing due to its low density and high stiffness. It has a silky smooth surface, is weather-resistant and easy to process.
