PVC

PVC Type I is a normal impact, corrosion-resistant material offering an excellent chemical resistance.  It is highly recommended for applications where acid and alkalies are in high concentration, normal working temperatures are relatively low, 140°F or below, and the application environment is not subject to excessive physical abuse.

For a similar product with greater heat resistance (up to 200°F) see CPVC.

PVC Type II is a uniquely adaptable polyvinyl chloride displaying excellent thermoforming capabilities, contour definition and surface texture.  Available finishes include matte and glossy.  Type II is fashioned in the form of homogeneous sheets.

The heavy-wall hollows effect considerable savings in material when bored parts are required.  In addition, some sizes are IPS O.D., and thus can be used as bushing stock or very heavy wall pipe which is not commercially available.
