Chemical-Resistant PVC Rods

Often used to make valve and tank parts for chemical-processing applications, these rods and discs have excellent resistance to acids and alkalies. They’re PVC Type 1, which is easy to thermoform. These rods are also excellent electrical insulators.

Ultra-Impact-Resistant PVC Rods

With nearly the same chemical resistance as standard PVC Type 1, these PVC Type 2 rods are more impact resistant. Use them to make parts for chemical-processing applications where protection from bumps and strikes is required. They offer excellent formablility and are good electrical insulators.
