PVC
PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride is widely used in construction because it is durable, cheap, very rigid and easy to work with and is the most widely used of all plastics. PVC has great chemical resistance, mechanical strength, dimensional stability and is easy to machine.
Applications
PVC can be used for fume exhaust fans, tanks and tank liners, shelters, hoods, garage doors, partitions, sun visors, point of sale displays and packaging.
