Key Features of PVC Type 2
PVC Type 2 is designed to balance toughness and chemical resistance, providing reliable performance in demanding environments.
High impact resistance: Modified formulation provides greater toughness than PVC Type 1, making it less likely to crack or break under stress.
Good mechanical strength and stiffness: Retains rigidity while offering improved resilience for structural and load-bearing parts.
Strong corrosion and chemical resistance: Withstands exposure to acids, alkalis, and many corrosive environments.
Excellent electrical insulation properties: Offers reliable dielectric performance for electrical and electronic applications.
Easy to machine, fabricate, and weld: Can be cut, shaped, and assembled using standard plastic fabrication techniques.
Together, these features make PVC Type 2 sheet and rod a reliable material choice for projects that demand toughness, ease of fabrication, and consistent performance across industrial and engineering environments.
