Case Study for Bidding

Time: March 2024
Supplier: SIMONA
Buyer: BASF
Product: Chemical-resistant rigid PVC rods for corrosion-prone process equipment
Quantity: 26,000 tons
Contract Value: USD 98 million
Delivery Timeline: January 2026

Case Study for End Using

End User: Veolia

Application: Machined PVC rod components for water treatment systems and chemical dosing equipment.

Installation Location / Usage Stage

Machined into bushings, spacers, valve components, and supports.
Installed in wet, chemically aggressive environments.
Operated continuously with minimal maintenance requirements.

Purpose

Provides corrosion-resistant structural and mechanical components.
Maintains dimensional stability in humid and chemical environments.
Reduces maintenance and replacement frequency.

Effect

Extended component service life by 25%+.
Lowered total cost of ownership versus metal alternatives.
Improved system reliability in corrosive conditions.

Alternative Materials
Polypropylene (PP) rods offer good chemical resistance but lower rigidity.
Polyethylene (HDPE) rods provide impact resistance but reduced stiffness.
Engineering plastics (PVDF, PEEK) deliver superior performance at much higher cost.
Metal rods offer strength but suffer from corrosion and higher machining cost.

Therefore, Polyvinyl Chloride Rods remain a cost-effective and versatile solution for corrosion-resistant, electrically insulating, and easily machinable components across a wide range of industrial and infrastructure applications.
