PVC Type I
PVC Type I Overview
What is the Material: PVC Type I is an amorphous material.
Key Material Features: This material is resistant to weathering, corrosion, and fire.
Other Considerations: It is beneficial in applications requiring corrosion resistance. It is more chemical resistant than PVC type II, but impact resistance is improved in PVC Type II.
