Some technical details for grey PVC Sheet
Industrial PVC Sheet has a maximum long term service temperature of 60°C and also has a melting point of around 75°C. Although PVC has a tensile strength of around 75MPa, it is not the toughest engineering plastic and although PVC Sheet is durable, it can fracture due to large impact.

Did you know?
PVC is an abbreviation for Polyvinyl Chloride and it was improved and was successfully and commercially produced back in the mid 1920's, there were a few previous people manufacturing PVC with varying degrees of success. PVC was used in the production of vinyl records and helped provide recorded music to the general population.
