Common trade names are: Celtec - Vintec

Polyvinyl Chloride has excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior flame resistance.
Also charaterized by its excellent chemical resistance and dielectric properties, good tensile, flexural and mechanical strength, low moisture absorption, exceptional dimen-sional stability and good flammability.

The two main types of PVC are rigid and flexible with subcategories in between for specific applications.

Rigid PVC is the most common type possesing high strength to weight ratio, pressure bearing capability, corrosion and chemical resistance and low friction loss characteristics.

Flexible (plasticized) PVC is vinyl which has been heavily plasticized. Used in application which require flexiblity and resistance to tear, puncture and abrasion.

Availble in several formulations of sheet, rod and tube.
