Rigid PVC, also known as rigid polyvinyl chloride, is a plastic made from polymerized vinyl chloride. It is a versatile, strong, hard and affordable material used in plastic injection molding, most commonly used in construction and industrial applications. It is one of the three most produced polymers. It is a thermoplastic, which means it forms and shapes easily when heated and retains its shape when cooled. It has good chemical resistance, weather resistance and electrical insulation, among many other properties, and can be produced in a variety of colors and finishes.
Rigid PVC applications
Rigid PVC has a wide range of uses, including:
Building and Construction
Exterior wall panels
Windows
pipeline
Pipe fittings
sprinkler system
office furniture edge
bottle
Non-food packaging
card, such as a membership card or bank card
Rigid PVC Advantages
Rigid PVC is a versatile thermoplastic resin that is hard and tough under environmental conditions. To achieve injection molding, additives are mixed with PVC, including stabilizers, lubricants, processing aids, pigments, impact modifiers and fillers. Some of its other advantages include:
Good strength
non-flammable
high definition
Good outdoor weather resistance
good insulator
High chemical resistance
Low flammability
low cost
recyclable
