At Adams Plastics, we supply a variety of extruded PVC strip and sheet products for industrial and commercial applications. Extruded PVC is a heavier material compared to our other clear PVC vinyl products, and is made for jobs that require very high durability while maintaining flexibility. We carry extruded PVC from .040″ up to .160″ thick, in standard, low temperature, anti-static, and weld tint formulations.
Extruded PVC Strip and Sheet Products from Adams Plastics
We distribute high-quality extruded PVC strip and sheet from trusted manufacturing partners. Below you’ll find our standard range of finishes, thicknesses, and sizing options for extruded PVC sheet and strip. Not seeing the color, gauge, or compound you need? Contact us. In addition to our standard extruded strip and sheet, we supply custom orders and specialty formulations beyond what’s listed on this page. Our team can supply the right extruded plastic material with a quick turnaround.
Extruded PVC Sheet
Our standard PVC extruded plastic sheet is smooth, polished, optically clear, and flexible, and available in heavy gauge thicknesses. This PVC sheet works well for machine guarding, curtain wall panels, and more. All standard extruded sheet runs 48″ wide. Thickness and roll length options include:
| THICKNESS | WIDTH | STANDARD ROLL LENGTH |
|---|---|---|
| .040″ | 48″ | 150′ |
| .060″ | 48″ | 60′ |
| .080″ | 48″ | 60′ |
| .120″ | 48″ | 60′ |
| .160″ | 48″ | 60′ |
The .040″ gauge is also available in two application-specific versions: an antistatic clear formulation for clean room environments, and a red or amber weld tint version that cuts down on flash and glare in welding areas (additional details on finish options available below).
Extruded PVC Strip
Extruded PVC strip is available in a standard smooth finish or a ribbed texture for added wear resistance in high traffic doorways. Extruded PVC strip is often used as plastic curtains that help control temperature in industrial and commercial spaces. Warehouses often use PVC strips in loading docks to keep warmer inside air from escaping outside, while cold storage facilities use it to slow heat transfer at cooler entrances. PVC strip curtains are also used for noise control between rooms, or to block dust from escaping a workspace.
Our extruded PVC strip options are available in a range of thicknesses and widths, including:
| THICKNESS | WIDTH | STANDARD ROLL LENGTH |
|---|---|---|
| .060″ | 6″ | 300′ |
| .080″ | 8″ | 300′ |
| .120″ | 12″ | 200′ |
| .160″ | 16″ | 300′ |
Material and Finish Options for Extruded PVC
Extruded PVC can be purchased in multiple finish options. Available finishes vary depending on thickness and product type. Our extruded strip and sheet line card breaks down availability for each combination. You can also send us your specs directly and we will confirm options.
Our finish options for extruded plastics include:
- Standard: Standard PVC is the most versatile option for environmental separation, noise control, dust control, and more in doorways and openings with regular walk-thru and motorized traffic between areas.
- Antistatic: Formulated with a lower static surface resistivity, our antistatic extruded PVC helps prevent static cling, which helps keep airborne dust particles from sticking to sidewalls in cleanrooms.
- Weld screen with tint: Available in red or amber, this material is tinted to help create a safer work environment by reducing welding flash while still allowing some visibility through the barrier. Weld screen is not suitable for direct viewing, and proper eye protection should still be maintained in those applications.
- Low temp: Low temp extruded PVC is formulated to stay flexible in freezer conditions instead of stiffening and cracking the way standard PVC can.
- Ribbed: An available option for standard and low temp strip, ribbed texture adds durability, scratch resistance, and wear resistance for doorways with motorized traffic.
Custom Converting Options for Extruded Plastic Sheets & Strips
We also offer converting services to cut standard extruded PVC sheet material into the custom dimensions your application requires. Tell us your desired specifications and we will let you know whether that’s standard supply or something our converting team should handle.
Common Applications for Extruded PVC Strip and Sheet
- Manufacturing plants use extruded PVC to separate processing areas without losing sightlines
- Cleanroom facilities use extruded PVC curtains to minimize the risk of contamination across different zones
- Material handling environments use PVC strip as curtains to control temperatures or reduce dust transfer as motorized traffic moves between spaces
- Food and beverage plants use extruded PVC to manage temperature and airflow between rooms
- Distribution centers use PVC strips to cut energy loss at dock doors
- Machine shops use PVC sheet to guard equipment while keeping the work visible to nearby operators
- Welders commonly use extruded PVC curtains to contain welding areas for safety compliance
Frequently Asked Questions About Extruded Plastic Sheet & Strip
What is extruded PVC?
Extruded PVC starts as PVC resin that is heated and then forced through a die to form a continuous sheet. The PVC sheet is then cooled and wound into rolls, or slit into strips. The extrusion process gives the PVC sheeting a heavier gauge than calendered PVC film, and it’s why extruded PVC is often used in industrial doorways, machine guards, and other applications where the material needs to withstand heavy daily abuse.
What’s the difference between extruded PVC and standard PVC vinyl film?
Extruded PVC is a heavier gauge material made by pushing heated resin through a die, starting at .040″ thick. PVC vinyl film is a thinner calendered product, typically well under .040″, used for laminating, upholstery backing, and similar flexible applications.
What thickness does extruded PVC strip and sheet come in?
Standard extruded PVC ranges from .040″ up to .160″ thick. PVC strip widths run from 6″ to 16″, while PVC sheet is available in a consistent 48″ width across every gauge.
Can extruded PVC strip be used in a commercial freezer?
Yes. Our low temp formulation, available in smooth and ribbed textures, stays flexible in cold storage and freezer conditions rather than stiffening or cracking the way standard PVC can.
What is weld tint PVC strip used for?
Weld tint strip is a red or amber tinted material used to build welding curtains and screens. It reduces flash and glare exposure for anyone working near a welding operation, while remaining translucent enough that visibility through the barrier isn’t fully blocked.
