AKU®- DUR PVC-U U-profiles and panel edging profiles 

Polyvinyl chloride-Unplasticized (PVC-U) is a form of polyvinyl chloride that is manufactured 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 maintains its mechanical properties even at higher temperatures, making it suitable for applications in various temperature ranges.
• Electrical Insulation:
  PVC-U exhibits good electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for applications in the electrical industry, particularly 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.

• Applications:
  PVC-U is frequently used in construction for pipes, window profiles, doors, and other building elements. It is also used in the chemical industry, water supply, electrical industry and other technical applications.

The exact properties of PVC-U can vary depending on the manufacturer and formulation.
Therefore, it is advisable to observe the specific technical data sheets and recommendations in order to choose the appropriate PVC-U product for a specific application.
