PVC Machining
PVC Machined Parts
Sunhy has a reputation for producing quality screw machine parts from PVC. We can machine intricate parts on our CNC Swiss machines and CNC turning centers.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a low-cost plastic, ideal for parts that require strength while remaining lightweight. It is highly machinable to close tolerances and has excellent corrosion, flame, and water resistance. PVC also has high strength, impact resistance, and toughness.
PVC has a machining cost factor of 1.1 when compared to steel 12L14.
Industries & Applications
- Insulators
- Fittings
- Pipe and valve components
- Bushings

Common Material Cost Comparison
| Type | General Characteristics | Alloy | Common Applications | Tolerances for 1/2" Dia. | Material Cost Factor | Machining Cost Factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steel | Designed for excellent machinability. Case hard only | 12L14 | Endless commercial products; probably more pounds used in turned products than any other material | Cold drawn 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Stainless Steel | Designed for machining, non-magnetic | 303 | Electronic hardware, automotive, aerospace, medical instruments, and many applications requiring corrosion resistance | Cold finished +/- .002 | 1.9 | 2.7 |
| Brass | Designed for machining | 2011 | Electronic hardware, endless commercial products | Cold finish +/-.0015 | 3.8 | .6 |
| Aluminum | Designed for machining | 2011 | Electronic hardware, endless commercial products | Cold finish +/-.0015 | 3.8 | .6 |
| Titanium | High strength, light weight, good bio-compatibility | Ti-6Al-4VEli | Medical implants | Ground & polished +/-.002 | 30.2 | 6 |
