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.
