Polyvinylchloride (PVC)

Polyvinylchloride (PVC)

Palyvinyichloride (PVC) comes in many different forms. These different forms modify the properties to suit particular applications. Plasticisers, stabilizers, and impact modifiers can be added to produce these modifications. In general, PVC offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance. PVC offers a major advantage over many other corrosion resistant products because it can be solvent cemented. It can also be thermally welded. This versatility in fabrication is why PVC is so widely used. The main types of PVC are:

GREY TYPE | PVC – The most common type. Used for plating tanks, exhaust hoods, and scrubbers for any industry using or processing chemicals. It is NSF compliant and has a continuous operating temperature of 160°F.

WHITE TYPE | PVC – Used for aesthetic properties where white is desirable over the standard grey.

CLEAR PVC – Used for viewing windows, often in conjunction with other PVC fabrication. The advantage over other clear materials is that it can be welded to the grey or white PVC. Like the other
PVCs, it has good impact strength and chemical resistance.

TYPE Il PVC – Offers higher impact strength than the type I. it is lighter grey in color than the type I.

CPVC – This is a higher temperature material. It can be used to 200°F continuously.

Felxible Tube | PVC

Vinyl Tube

Vinyl Tube

Vinyl tubing is clear, very flexible and has a smooth bore. Its resistant to chemicals, corrosion, oxidation, aging, and bacteria. It can be attached by worm screw clamps, barbed fittings, cemented, or thermally welded. I food grades it is USDA/FOA/NSF compliant. It is pure and nontoxic. Vinyl tubing has literally thousands of applications including: food processing, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, medical, air lines, drain lines, and water lines.

Excelon® R-4000 Clear Pvc Pipe

Excelon

Where visual control is required, Excelon® R-4000 offers all the benefits of standard rigid PVC schedule 40 pipe, but in a transparent form. It is non toxic, resists bacterial activity, and meets FDA standards for sanitary use in food, drug, and chemical processing.
It is non-conductive, and not subject to deterioration by corrosion. The smooth interior surfaces of the pipe permit maximum flow rates and minimize the accumulation of sediment. It can be solvent cemented to clear Excelon® R-4000 fittings, or to standard gray schedule 40 fittings.

Vinyl Strip Doors

Vinyl Strip Doors

These are transparent strips which are hung in walk through or drive through openings. They provide temperature control for coolers and freezers. They provide dust control and noise abatement when hung in factory openings. On loading docks they keep the weather out and the heat in. They are clear, for safety’s sake, and are available in both standard industrial grade and USDA compliant grade. They are also available in
amber/orange for welding booths.
