Plastic-Craft | PVC Sheet, Black

COMMON QUESTIONS: Q: Is PVC resistant to the chemicals in my application? A: PVC resists 90%+ of acids, bases, and salts — excellent for chemical tanks, fume hoods, and laboratory equipment. Always verify against a PVC chemical resistance chart for aggressive solvents, concentrated oxidizers, or elevated temperatures, where resistance can vary. Q: Is PVC flame retardant? A: Yes — PVC is rated UL 94 V-0 flame resistant, meaning it self-extinguishes when the ignition source is removed. This makes it the preferred choice for electrical panels, fume hoods, and applications with fire safety requirements. Q: Can PVC be solvent cemented or welded? A: Yes — PVC bonds readily with PVC solvent cement for strong, permanent joints. Also weldable with hot gas welding for fabricated tanks and chemical vessels. One of the easiest plastics to fabricate and assemble. This 3/4" black expanded PVC foam board delivers the chemical resistance, flame rating, and structural integrity that demanding applications require. With 7500 PSI tensile strength, ASTM D1784 compliance, and a UL 94 V-0 flame rating, it's a go-to material for engineers and fabricators who can't afford to compromise. It performs reliably from 32°F to 140°F and shrugs off the acids, bases, and salts that destroy lesser materials. Industries ranging from chemical processing and laboratory equipment manufacturing to electrical fabrication and industrial signage rely on PVC sheet for exactly these properties. It's equally at home lining a fume hood, building a chemical tank, or serving as a durable wet-environment panel where moisture and corrosion would ruin wood or metal alternatives. Fabrication is straightforward — PVC cuts cleanly with standard saws, machines well with conventional tooling, and bonds permanently with solvent cement or hot gas welding. The black color provides a clean, professional finish with no additional treatment needed. Stocked and ships from West Nyack, NY. Plastic-Craft Products has been a
