Trade Names: Poly Vinyl Chloride. PVC has excellent chemical and mechanical properties with remarkable anti-corrosive characteristics.

PVC is one of the most chemically resistant plastics available at a moderate cost. It is self-extinguishing, electrically insulating, and can be welded, machined, and fabricated into tanks, ducting, and chemical handling equipment. PVC is the material of choice for corrosive environments in chemical processing and water treatment plants.

Fabrication & Processing

PVC can be hot air welded, solvent bonded, CNC machined, saw cut, and thermoformed. It is widely used in custom tank fabrication where chemical resistance is paramount.

Hot air welding — standard technique for tank and duct fabrication
Solvent bonding — PVC cement for pipe joints and assemblies
CNC machining — clean cuts, good dimensional accuracy
Thermoforming — can be vacuum formed at moderate temperatures
Note: PVC releases HCl fumes when overheated — ensure adequate ventilation

Frequently Asked Questions

What chemicals is PVC resistant to?+
PVC is resistant to most acids (including hydrochloric, sulphuric, and phosphoric), alkalies, salt solutions, alcohols, and many organic solvents. It is NOT resistant to ketones (acetone), esters, aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene), or concentrated oxidising acids (nitric acid).
Can PVC be used for drinking water?+
Yes — PVC is approved for potable water applications (AS/NZS 4020). PVC pressure pipe is one of the most widely used materials for water reticulation worldwide.
What is the difference between PVC and CPVC?+
CPVC (Chlorinated PVC) has a higher chlorine content giving it a higher maximum service temperature (90°C vs 60°C for PVC). CPVC is used for hot water systems and higher temperature chemical processing. Standard PVC is suitable for cold to warm applications.
