Expanded PVC Plastic Sheet

Category: Misc
Cost: $5.75

Expanded PVC Plastic Sheet

Expanded PVC sheet is lightweight yet strong, and very easy to cut and drill. The plastic sands like wood, and can be fastened using nuts and machine screws, or can be glued using ordinary PVC solvent cement, super glue, or epoxy.


 


 


Comes in two thicknesses:



  • Use the 3mm (about 1/8") thickness for small bases (5" and under), small brackets, and various robot parts that do not require high strength. Fairly flexible, yet not easily broken.

  • Use the 6mm (about 1/4") thickness for heavier-duty bases and components.

Size of the panel is approximately 12x12" -- may be slightly larger or smaller. Select the color and thickness in the option lists below.
