6mm hard pvc rigid sheet panel for water treatment system

6mm Hard Rigid PVC Sheet – For Water Treatment & Chemical Tanks

Introduction

For environmental engineering firms and industrial tank fabricators, Jinan Jinbao Plastic Co., Ltd. provides our Industrial Grade Rigid PVC Sheet (Type 1).

Specifically formulated for water treatment systems, this 6mm solid grey sheet offers the chemical inertness required to handle corrosive wastewater, desalination brines, and chemical dosing. Unlike standard PVC used for signage, JINBAO’s Industrial PVC is a high-density engineering plastic that meets ASTM D1784 standards for structural tank fabrication, ensuring zero leakage and long-term durability in harsh environments.

Key Features

• Superior Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to strong acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric), alkalis, and oxidizing agents commonly found in water purification plants.

• Weldable Fabrication: Compatible with hot gas welding using PVC rod, allowing for the construction of seamless, leak-proof tanks and flanged connections.

• Moisture Impervious: Zero water absorption prevents degradation, swelling, or bacterial growth, meeting requirements for clean water systems.

• High Structural Strength: At 6mm thickness, it provides sufficient rigidity for self-supporting tank walls and baffles without reinforcement.

• Fire Retardant: Rated UL94 V-0 (Self-Extinguishing), ensuring safety in industrial facilities with strict fire codes.

• Electrical Insulation: High dielectric strength makes it suitable for control panel backboards in wet areas.

Applications

• Water Treatment: Sedimentation tank baffles, clarifier weir plates, and desalination equipment housings.

• Chemical Processing: Acid storage tanks, plating baths, and fume scrubber bodies.

• Ventilation: Corrosive air ducting and industrial fans (using thinner 3-4mm sheets for forming).

• Laboratory: Chemical-resistant bench tops and drip trays.

Why Choose JINBAO PLASTIC?

• Leak-Proof Guarantee: Our sheets are extruded using virgin resin to prevent micropores. We also supply color-matched PVC Welding Rods (Grey/White) to ensure your tank welds are as strong as the sheet itself.

• Precision Flatness: Our annealed sheets are stress-relieved to stay flat during CNC machining, critical for creating precise flanges and filter plates.

• Custom Dimensions: For large tank projects, we can extrude sheets up to 2000mm wide and custom lengths (e.g., 4m or 6m) to reduce the number of welded seams, minimizing potential leak points.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this for drinking water tanks?

A: Yes, our virgin rigid PVC is safe for water contact. However, for potable water certification (NSF-61), please specify "Potable Grade" in your inquiry so we provide the correct formulation documentation.

Q: How do I join these sheets?

A: Rigid PVC is best joined by Hot Gas Welding (using a heat gun and PVC rod) for structural tanks. For non-pressure applications, Solvent Cement (PVC Glue) works very well.

Q: Is 6mm thick enough for a 1000L tank?

A: For a tank of that size, 6mm is suitable for liners or small compartments. For the main structural walls of a large self-supporting tank, we typically recommend 10mm to 12mm. Our engineers can assist with thickness calculation.

Q: Does it withstand sunlight?

A: Standard dark grey industrial PVC has good UV resistance. For equipment exposed to direct sunlight in tropical regions, we recommend our UV-Stabilized grade to prevent chalking over time.
