Buy PVC-U rod RAL 7011
PVC-U, also referred to as rigid PVC or unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, is a rigid engineering plastic with good chemical resistance and high dimensional stability.
Typical advantages:
- high rigidity
- good dimensional accuracy
- good chemical resistance
- good electrical insulation
- good machinability
- good bondability
- weldable
- low water absorption
- technical colour RAL 7011
- cut to size possible
This makes a PVC rigid rod grey particularly suitable for technical components with high requirements for dimensional accuracy and media resistance.
PVC rod grey 1000 mm
Martan offers the PVC rigid rods with a length of approx. 1,000 mm.
This starting length is suitable for individual technical components and smaller series.
Typical components are:
- bushes
- rings
- spacers
- distance pieces
- guides
- mounts
- pump components
- valve components
- insulating parts
- technical turned parts
Depending on the required component length, the rod material can then be cut to size and further processed.
Select PVC rods by diameter
The diameter is one of the most important selection criteria for PVC rod material.
You can select the sizes actually available directly via the variant selection on the product page.
Typical search sizes are for example:
- PVC rod grey 10 mm
- PVC rod grey 20 mm
- PVC rod grey 30 mm
- PVC rod grey 40 mm
- PVC rod grey 50 mm
- PVC rod grey 60 mm
- PVC rod grey 80 mm
- PVC rod grey 100 mm
- PVC rod grey 150 mm
- PVC rod grey 200 mm
When selecting, you should take into account:
- required finished diameter
- machining allowance
- component geometry
- mechanical load
- wall thickness
- planned machining
- required tolerances
PVC rod cut to size
You do not need a full standard length?
Then a PVC rod cut to size can make sense.
The rod material can be prepared to the required length and then further processed.
Typical machining processes are:
- sawing
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- bonding
- welding
- CNC machining
A suitably prepared rigid PVC rod cut to size can reduce material consumption and subsequent machining effort.
Properties of PVC-U rods
PVC-U is an amorphous thermoplastic and is characterised in particular by rigidity and chemical resistance.
Typical properties are:
- high rigidity
- good dimensional stability
- good dimensional accuracy
- good resistance to numerous chemicals
- very good electrical insulation
- low water absorption
- good mechanical machinability
- good bondability
- good weldability
The combination of chemical resistance and rigidity makes PVC-U particularly interesting for apparatus and plant engineering.
PVC rod for apparatus engineering
PVC-U is frequently used for technical components that come into contact with chemically stressed plants or media.
Typical applications are:
- apparatus components
- pump components
- valve parts
- spacers
- guide elements
- mounts
- support elements
- insulating parts
The specific chemical resistance should always be checked on the basis of medium, concentration and service temperature.
PVC rod for plant engineering
Rigid PVC is also suitable for numerous dimensionally stable technical components in plant engineering.
Typical areas of use are:
- chemical plants
- ventilation systems
- exhaust air technology
- environmental technology
- water technology
- tank systems
- equipment engineering
Particularly in constructions with high requirements for rigidity and media resistance, PVC-U can be an economical solution.
Turning PVC rod
PVC-U can be machined well by cutting.
By turning, for example, the following can be produced:
- bushes
- rings
- sleeves
- spacers
- bolts
- guide parts
At higher machining speeds, attention should be paid to good chip removal and controlled heat input.
Milling and drilling PVC rod
In addition to turning, PVC-U can be milled and drilled well.
As a result, among other things:
- cross holes
- grooves
- surfaces
- recesses
- fastening holes
- more complex contours
can be introduced into the component.
For more complex components, CNC machining can make sense.
Bonding PVC rod
One advantage of PVC-U is its good bondability with suitable adhesive systems.
As a result, rod components can be joined to other PVC components or suitable materials.
The bonded joint should be matched to:
- the medium used
- temperature
- load
- surface condition
- adhesive system
.
Welding PVC rod
PVC-U can be welded using suitable thermal processes.
This is particularly interesting for applications in:
- tank construction
- apparatus engineering
- plant engineering
- ventilation construction
Depending on the design, welded joints can represent a durable and media-resistant solution.
Why PVC rods RAL 7011?
The iron-grey version in RAL 7011 is a typical technical colour for PVC-U semi-finished products.
It is particularly suitable when:
- a uniform industrial appearance is desired
- components should match PVC sheets in colour
- technical components should be visually distinguished
- a neutral dark grey shade is required
For functional applications, however, material suitability should always come before the choice of colour.
