Grey PVC Extruded Sheets
Easy to machine Grey PVC sheets, economical choice
U-PVC extruded sheets are stocked in white and grey in a smooth finish. White has a strong presence in the display and hygienic market, whilst offering an alternative to grey for fabrication use. PVC Extruded Sheets have a maximum long term service temperature of plus 60°C and a melting point of around plus 75°C.
PVC Sheeting is also an excellent electrical insulator and can be used to protect electrical components. PVC Sheets also have very low moisture absorption, helping keep components stable in a damp or wet atmosphere. Only PVC Sheeting has a very good chemical and acid resistance making it a great product where acid resistance is a necessity.
We also stock White PVC Extruded sheets.

Operating temperature of PVC
Long-term: 60 degrees centigrade (60 °C).
Short-term: 80 degrees centigrade (80 °C).
Long-term is typically between 5,000-20,000 hours operating at this temperature without losing more than 50% of performance. Short-term typically means up to 2 hours at any one time.

Protective Films
All plastic sheet products will have a Clear, Blue or White protective film on both sides or a combination of all three. This is to protect during transit and needs removing before usage. Sometimes it can be difficult to peel off but use a thumbnail gently on any corner to lift and peel. Alternatively gently wet any corner with a cloth to separate film and peel.
Adhesives & Sealants
When using any adhesives or sealants with your plastic sheet product great care must be taken in ensuring its compatibility. Some products can react adversely and either not bond/seal properly or would cause the acrylic to cloud or become white at the bond line. Refer to our web pages for advice if unsure. Check your sealant/adhesives ‘use by date’ to ensure its still current for best performance in your project.
