Description

RIGID VINYL CHLORIDE, PVC belongs to the thermoplastics category and has an amorphous structure, high solidity and a high modulus of elasticity. It has excellent elec- trical properties, especially in the low voltage and frequency field. It is used with temperatures between – 10°C and + 60°C.

Up to temperatures of 60°C, rigid PVC is stable against the majority of diluted or concentrated acids. Rigid PVC is physiologically inert. The possibility of using products in the food sector depends exclusively on the type of stabilisation. It is a good electrical insulator and absorbs little water; it can also be welded and glued.

Rigid PVC is widely used in construction for water and waste pipes, conservatories, gutters, cladding, wall and door protection and window frames due to its excellent thermal properties and stability.
