Rigid PVC is a low-cost material with good mechanical strength, excellent chemical resistance, corrosion resistance & electrical insulation that is easy to machine. This cost to performance ratio makes PVC a cost-effective material of choice for several industries including construction, electrical & chemical.
Rigid PVC offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance. PVC is resistant to most acids, alkalis, salts, alcohols & fats. Ask one of our technical solutions specialists if PVC is suitable for your chemical application. PVC’s durability & resistance to rot & corrosion makes PVC a long-lasting alternative material.
Rigid PVC is suitable for a broad range of applications over numerous industries. Examples include but are not limited to: manifolds, pump parts, cabinets, lab equipment, chemical storage, tanks, electrical insulation, space packers, concrete mould forms, valves, handles and knobs, trays, backing boards.

Due to the characteristics and price point of rigid PVC, it’s a very versatile and highly utilised engineering plastic material.
UHMWPE Virgin - the world’s toughest polymer. Chemically resistant, low coefficient of friction, high abrasion and impact resistance makes this a highly effective material in a variety of applications. FDA approved for food contact.
HDPE PE300 has approximately 6% of the impact strength and only 25% of its abrasion resistance of UHMWPE. HDPE has a higher tensile strength and is the hardest material of the two. Can be supplied with a glossy or embossed finish.
Acetal POM offers low moisture absorption, good fatigue strength and rigidity, Its dimensional stability is great for precision parts with tight tolerances. Good sliding characteristics, retains impact strength even at low temperatures and is easily machined.
