Plastic Rods

PVC Rods

PVC is rated self extinguishing has excellent chemical resistance with high mechanical and tensile strength together with a high degree of stability UPVC is easily weldable but has a limited operating temperature range of 0C to 60C Properties Machines well to a polished finish Solvent Cemented Welded Relatively less expensive than other plastics Strong and stiff Flame retardant grades available Chemical resistant Self extinguishing UV stabalised grades available Drinking water approved Food compliant grades available Applications Corrosive fluid handling Valves Tanks Water applications Air conditioning ventilation systems

Plain PVDF Sheets

Polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF rods are probably the most chemically resistant thermoplastic known in the world today standing up to 30 150 which has a fairly good dimensional stability and good tribological characteristics PVDF is a flameretardant selfextinguishing plastic with high density and excellent strength It is inherent in the minimum impact strength at low temperatures PVDF rods are more durable in comparison with PTFE despite a higher coefficient of friction The main difference from other fluoropolymers is that it combines the PVDF rods have good mechanical thermal and electrical properties when exposed to chemicals As well as other fluoropolymers PVDF racks to hydrolysis with very low zero moisture absorption PVDF rods can be welded with special welding rods postings and PVDF unlike PTFE KEY BENEFITS OF THE PVDF RODS low weight low thermal conductivity high chemical corrosion resistance heat resistance mechanical strength and toughness PVDF has a high abrasion resistance resistant to most chemicals and solvents low permeability to most gases and liquids withstands exposure to harsh thermal and chemical conditions unaffected by longterm exposure to ultraviolet radiation Applications of the PVDF rods Thanks to the good weldability the PVDF coated fiberglass or polyester fabric is the most popular polymer for the manufacture of chemically resistant protective lining tanks pumping equipment and valves in the water treatment and TPP stations for the pumping of media with particles of abrasive or corrosive materials PVDF is used for sealing parts eg sealing rings bushings laboratory glassware and not only in the Chemical Industry electrical parts insulators contact rails parts of plugs connectors electrical parts etc antifriction resistant to aggressive chemical components and structural elements sliding bushings gears roller screw etc T PVDF is most widely used in chemical engineering body or parts of pump bodies for chemical products and petroleum products parts of valves flow meters fittings valves
