PVC Plastic Washers
Key Properties
- Thickness
- Good chemical resistance
- Cost-effective
- Rigid and flexible grades
Why specify PVC for plastic washers?
PVC is available in rigid and flexible grades, each with distinct washer applications. Cannon Gasket die-cuts and machines custom PVC washers for chemical processing, plumbing, and industrial applications where chemical resistance and cost efficiency matter.
Properties of PVC plastic washers
Cannon Gasket cuts PVC plastic washers to your drawing in durometer and thickness specifications of 0.010" to 0.500" thickness. Good resistance to acids, alkalis, salts, alcohols, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Not recommended for aromatic or chlorinated solvents, ketones, or esters.
PVC tolerances and customization
Standard dimensional tolerances on PVC plastic washersland around ±0.010" to ±0.015" on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on select grades. Cannon Gasket cuts PVC to custom profiles in-house and matches lead times to your production volume. PSA backing, pad printing, custom packaging, and kitting are all on the menu when you need them.
How PVC Performs
- Excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and most solvents. - Good electrical insulator. - Rigid PVC for structural; flexible (vinyl) PVC for sealing and conforming. - FDA grades available.
Common Washer Applications
Chemical pump and valve isolators, plumbing fitting sealing, industrial vinyl sealing washers, weatherstrip washers, electrical insulator washers, and economical chemical-resistant industrial use.
When to Choose Another Material
For higher temperature, CPVC or polypropylene. For aggressive solvents, PTFE.
