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. Expanded PVC foam board delivers the chemical resistance and flame safety of rigid PVC in a lightweight, easy-to-fabricate sheet. At 7,500 PSI tensile strength and rated for service from 32°F to 140°F, this black 1/2" sheet handles demanding environments where moisture, corrosive chemicals, and fire safety requirements all come into play. It meets ASTM D1784 and carries a UL 94 V-0 flame rating — two credentials that matter in regulated industries. This material is a go-to for fabricators building chemical tanks, fume hoods, laboratory enclosures, electrical panels, and wet-area signage. It's equally practical for industrial maintenance shops, wastewater facilities, and OEM equipment manufacturers who need reliable, long-lasting sheet material without the weight of solid PVC. The black finish also makes it a clean choice for professional signage and display applications. Stocked and ships from West Nyack, NY.
