About Cutting

- Our price is for the total amount of pieces your entire order needs to be cut into:
For Example:
- Buy 1 sheet/rod and have it cut into 15 pieces = £10
- Buy 3 sheets/rods and have each one cut into say 5 pieces (total = 15 pieces) = £10
What to do:
- Click the "Cutting" tab in our menu to visit the cutting section (if you're not already there)
- Click the "Buy Now" button of whichever quantity corresponds to your needs
- See bottom of this page, on how to advise your sizes and any notes
Want more than 300 pieces?
- Please give our sales team a call on 0114 2560889
Notes/tips:
- Please allow at least 4mm in your cutting allowance calculations for the width of the saw cut
- We use table saws and horizontal band-saws, so edges will have a sawn finish
- We only use sawing equipment, so we are unable to offer high precision items
- Tolerances are +2mm to minus 0mm
- We aim to cut as squarely as possible although incoming materials are sometimes out of square
- We are unable to cut or machine shapes but we are happy to obtain a custom quotation for machined
shapes or parts (please call us on 0114 2560889)
How to advise your sizes:
- Please checkout your basket/cart
- Fill in your details as usual on the checkout page
- At section 5 of our checkout page, there's a "customer notes" box for you
- Please enter your sizes and any notes for us there
PVC Rod Tolerances
Manufacturers produce engineering plastics that are slightly oversize in either diameter and/or thickness.
This oversize tolerance, which is listed in the tables below, is provided to assist customers to produce
very accurate items within the size shown and remove any minor surface imperfection.

Advantages of PVC Rod
PVC rod has good hardness and mechanical properties
Excellent electrical insulating properties
Very high chemical resistance
Very good moisture resistance
Good dimensional stability
Easily bondable and an excellent engineering plastic for welding
Self-extinguishing
Fairly inexpensive
Disadvantages of PVC Rod
The heat stability of PVC isn’t great– when the temperature reaches 140 °C PVC starts to decompose and its melting temperature is 160 °C
PVC is a good insulator but its electrical insulating property is not as good as polyethylene or polypropylene
It is generally only suitable for medium or low voltage and low frequency insulation materials
How does PVC Rod perform?
Most products made with PVC are long lasting – up to and over 60 years. Because of this reliability throughout their service lives, maintenance or repair is reduced significantly. It is the most widely used material in building and construction applications. PVC is resistant to oxidation and degradation and its inherent chlorine content gives it excellent fire resistance.
What is PVC Rod used for?
Common applications include chemical processing tanks, valves, fittings & piping systems. In addition, other applications include:
Pump components
Electrical insulators
Acid tanks
Templates
Fabricated fittings
Battery boxes
Why not to use PVC Rod?
PVC rod isn’t really a high wear application material like nylon or UHMWPE and also probably shouldn’t be used for components that will come into constant contact with food products or require great flexibility, low friction, or high temperature resistance.
Machining characteristics
PVC is reasonably hard. If possible use double edged milling cutters. When sawing using a circular saw, use saw blades with hard metal-inserted teeth and a tooth spacing of 10 to 20 mm as this has been found to be especially effective.
Is it easy to Glue and bond PVC Rod?
Gluing or bonding PVC is very easy, but is usually permanent and so cannot be easily undone. The only way to correct any bonding mistakes is to cut away the glued area. High frequency welding (gluing) is possible.
Food applications suitability
PVC rod is not FDA approved and so direct and or permanent contact isn’t recommended.
Does PVC Rod have good wear resistance?
PVC rod exhibits only reasonable resistance to high wear and abrasion. PVC is pretty tough and you will find PVC being used all over the place.
Chemical resistance
In general, PVC is suitable to withstand most strong acids, alkalis, aqueous solutions that are not strongly oxidizing, aliphatic hydro carbons, fluorides, photographic and plating solutions, brine, mineral oils, fats and alcohols. However, PVC rod should not normally be used with aldehydes and ketones, ethers, cyclic ethers, esters and aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, nitro compounds, some petrol / benzene mixtures and similar solvents which lead to a marked swelling and softening of the material.
Unique characteristics
PVC pipes have recently been analyzed after in-ground use for over 35 years and have shown no detectable corrosion or degradation and have been estimated to possess at least another 50 years of service life.
Trade names (also known as):
Boltaron®
Geon®
Vintec®
Corzan®
Size range, colours and availability
Our PVC rods are available in grey colour from stock but black, red and cream is available within a day or two from order and in diameters ranging from 6m up to 300mm.
Why should you choose PVC Rod?
PVC rod is an pretty durable material that is stronger than some other plastics. It can typically withstand impacts many times that which completely shatter components made of Acrylic or Styrene. PVC is also extremely chemical resistant and resists attack or degradation from a wide range of chemicals, making it the material of choice in many tough industrial applications, as well as very good electrical insulation properties.
Summary
PVC rod is a durable material that is resistant to chemicals, acids, weather and abrasion. It can be machined and tooled into a vast variety of shapes and components. It is strong yet relatively lightweight, affordable and widely available. While it has a low melting point in comparison to some other plastics it has a good fire rating, it has a service life that will outlast the person who works with it!
