    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.

    Chemical-Resistant PVC Round Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Chemical-Resistant PVC Round Tubes.
    When working near chemicals such as acids and alkalies, these tubes offer 360° protection to wires, cords, and anything that can slide through them. They’re made of PVC Type 1, a material that’s easy to thermoform, plus it is an excellent insulator.
    Oversized Tolerance—Oversized tubes have an oversized OD and an undersized ID for finishing to the sizes listed.
