Properties & applications
PVC-U shows very good characteristics in the temperature range from 0-60 ˚C. Ensuring the highest possible thermal stability and chemical resistance, PVC-U systems stand up to the most demanding conditions, particularly when acids, bases and salts are transported. The universal solution covers all aspects of safety, efficiency and reliability required to build, maintain, and operate industrial piping systems.
