AKU®-DUR PVC-U WELDING ROD / WELDING ADDITIVES

Polyvinyl chloride unplasticized (PVC-U)
is a form of polyvinyl chloride that is produced without the addition of plasticizers or other plasticizing substances.

Properties of PVC-U:

• Hardness and rigidity:
  PVC-U is characterized by its high hardness and rigidity. These properties make it particularly suitable for applications where structural integrity and strength are required.
• Chemical resistance:
  PVC-U is largely resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for use in various industrial environments. It is particularly resistant to acids, alkalis and other aggressive substances.
• Temperature resistance:
  PVC-U retains its mechanical properties even at higher temperatures, making it suitable for applications in various temperature ranges.
• Electrical insulation:
  PVC-U shows good electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for applications in the electrical industry, especially for cable insulation.
• 
  Flame resistance
  
  
  PVC-U is intrinsically flame retardant and can be classified in various fire classes, making it suitable for certain fire protection applications.
  
• Workability:
  PVC-U can be formed using various processing methods such as extrusion, injection molding and calendering. This enables the manufacture of a variety of products for different applications.
