What properties does PVC sheet have?
Plastic PVC has gained great popularity due to its properties: stiffness, incombustibility, resistance to weather conditions, ease of processing, light fastness, good electrical insulation, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, ecological purity. This plastic belongs to non-flammable and self-extinguishing materials, it does not support combustion in the open air.
Sheet PVC is an easy aesthetic and inexpensive material, executed in a rich color scheme. Even with prolonged contact with water, it will not lose its properties and retain its original appearance. With this material it is very easy to work, it is simply cut, glued, welded, the necessary structures are formed from it.
PVC sheet transparent is an excellent alternative to acrylic plexiglas, polystyrene, styrene acrylonitrile and even surpasses them in impact and fire-resistant properties. With the help of thermo-, vacuum- or pneumoforming, products of complex shape can be obtained from it.
Varieties of sheet PVC - foamed version of
This material can be of two types: foamed and solid or rigid PVC.Foamed PVC sheets have a porous internal structure, formed during extrusion production, because of this they received the name. It is a thermoplastic material consisting of a whole complex of components. Such sheets have a satin surface of white color, but with the use of special technology it is possible to obtain a transparent PVC sheet.
Foamed PVC sheets are highly resistant to temperature changes, adapted for external use at temperatures from -20 ° C to +60 ° C.This plastic is an excellent heat and sound insulator, which allows it to be used for interior decoration.
Such material can be used for manufacturing street signs, signage, advertising objects. Due to the possibility of prolonged contact with moisture, it can be used for finishing sanitary machines, car washes and so on. Foamed roofing PVC sheet is perfect for building all kinds of canopies and balconies.
PVC sheet 10 mm is used for creating neon signs, advertising and exhibition stands, partitions. From it, they make trade equipment, shelves, counters, shelves of shop windows.
Varieties of sheet PVC - rigid version
PVC sheet steel is a matt or glossy extrusion surface having a uniform rigid structure. The composition of this material includes a variety of dyes, special lubricants, stabilizers and other additives that improve its physical and chemical properties.
PVC rigid sheet is widely used in industry. It is resistant to the action of chromic anhydride and nitric acid, therefore it is used for the production of capacitive equipment for corrosive media, galvanic and pickling baths. Suitable for waterproofing concrete or metal containers. It is used for air ducts, ventilation systems, side slopes.
This material has exceptional strength and rigidity at low temperatures, low density and low weight. Ideally smooth and smooth surface of rigid PVC sheets is suitable for the application of films, paints, screen printing. Excellent absorbs vibration and is characterized by high resistance to deformation and kink.
