Chemical resistance of PVC

Resistance of PVC against chemicals

The following table shows the resistance of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is used for manufacturing of Wavin Optima system, against various chemicals.

There are 3 levels of resistance in the table:

  • A - acceptable;
  • L - limited;
  • B - bad.
