PVC – Polyvinyl Chloride
PVC-CAW
Polyvinyl chloride is an extremely hard and durable material that is commonly used in pipes for water-treatment systems and in machine parts. The material is extremely resistant to chemicals, and it can be glued and welded. We deliver PVC-CAW as plastic sheets, hollow rods, rods and components such as pipe parts, valves and welding wire.
