PVC Plastic Sheet

One of 1000’s of products on offer from Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd is a range of plastic sheets, available in numerous grades, colours and thicknesses, one of which includes a variety of PVC plastics or polyvinyl chloride - which is recognised as one the most popular engineering plastics.  PVC plastics sheets can be supplied in sizes of up to 2000mm x 1000mm and in thicknesses between 1mm and 20mm as standard.

PVC plastic sheets and components cut from them can be found used across several industry sectors including building, transport, packaging, electrical/electronic and healthcare applications. Using one of our many on-site saws, presses or CNC machines routering machines, we are able to convert PVC plastic sheets into bespoke components such as pads, washers, strips and gaskets, all of which can be supplied coated with a choice of adhesive tapes or foils.

    What are PVC Plastic Sheets?

    Polyvinyl chloride or PVC plastic can be produced in a range of formats including soft foams, rigid sheets and very thin flexible films making it one of the world's most popular synthetic plastics polymers.  PVC Plastic sheets are highly durable and as the material is a thermoplastic, they can be melted over and over again,  and when cooled down back to a solid state in it’s new shape or form.

    Why use PVC Plastic Sheets?

    Plastic sheeting materials are all manufactured using different compounds in order to produce a product with specific properties.  PVC Plastic sheets are stable and inert which are extremely workable and will hold it’s shape even during vigorous milling and sawing processes.

    It is highly chemically stable and offers excellent compressive strength and electrical insulation properties, available in a range of colours which can be very transparent or opaque.  A few of the applications in which PVC plastic sheets or components cut from them can be found used include, chemical or acid tanks, cladding, electrical cases and as cut or fabricated parts used within machinery and equipment.

    Other Types of Plastic Available

    Advanced Seals & Gaskets work with a multitude of material manufacturers and suppliers, giving our customers more choice of plastic sheeting - our most popular materials being:

    • PTFE
    • Polycarbonate
    • Polypropylene
    • HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
    • ABS
    • Polyester
    • Acetal
    • Acrylic
    • Nylatron

    Benefits of using PVC Plastic

    • Cost effective
    • Impact, corrosion, abrasion and weather resistant
    • High chemical resistance
    • Strong and rigid
    • Can be easily machined, heated and bent, glued and moulded
    • low heat and electricity conductivity for use with electrical insulation

    Advantages of using PVC Plastic Sheet

    PVC sheets and components cut from them are some of the world's most commonly used products, this is due to the vast range of advantages and desirable properties the material offers.  The material itself is strong, rigid and lightweight.  PVC plastic sheets offer durability and longevity as PVC plastic is resistant to chemical and weather corrosion, shock and abrasion which means it can be utilised for many indoor and outdoor applications.

    PVC plastic sheets can be available in standard sizes or moulded into bespoke sizes  both of which can be further converted by way of sawing, milling, drilling, gluing or bending (heated and manipulated) to produce finish components such as washers, strips, gaskets, tubes, pipes, etc.  PVC plastic sheets are non-toxic, do not conduct electricity so can be used for electrical applications and although PVC plastic will burn, it is self-extinguishing  due to having a high chlorine content.  PVC plastic sheets are often taken for large surface coverings such as screens or surface protection or for customers and end users to cut down themselves as and when the parts are required.
