PVC – Lightweight, Stable, and Chemically Resistant

An economical plastic ideal for enclosures, spacers, and corrosion-resistant parts.

What Is PVC and Why Use It?

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a widely available thermoplastic known for its chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and ease of machining. It’s a popular material for general-purpose CNC projects where moisture or chemicals are present. Advantages include:

  • Excellent chemical and moisture resistance
  • Easy to machine and bond
  • Cost-effective for structural and utility parts
  • Low thermal conductivity
