PVC
- Alternative Designations: Polyvinyl chloride
Description:
PVC is made from a polymer of vinyl chloride. This polymer is then combined with other chemicals to create a variety of PVC products. It is the third most synthesized thermoplastic material. It is resistant to weathering, chemicals, corrosion and shock. It has good resistance to abrasion and good insulation properties. Furthermore, it is tough, lightweight and fire retardant. It is commonly used for pipes, window frames, bottles, electrical distribution boxes etc.

Injection moulding VDI surface finishesInjection moulding VDI surface finishes
VDI
VDI is an international standard for mould texturing of matte surfaces. It is mainly processed by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) when mould machining.
Notes:VDI12, VDI15, VDI18,VDI21, VDI 24, VDI27, VDI30, VDI33, VDI36, VDI39, VDI42, VDI45
Final result:
- Fine-to-coarse grain depending on the selection

Custom Finishing
If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually takes 1-2 business days.
Notes:Submitting for manual review with a custom request does not guarantee a quote.
