Notes: Opti-Pac 1900 IL/IDE is manufactured from rigid PVC sheet stock that meets CTI Specification STD-136 (88), with UV inhibitor added. Standard mil thicknesses are 10 mil and 15 mil after forming. Other mils are available upon request. Standard module dimensions are 12" or 24" deep x 12" wide.   Module lengths range from 4'0" to 10'0". Standard modules consist of 16 sheets. A 17th sheet can be added to insure nesting of the modules during installation.

Modules are fabricated in 12" or 24" depths, 12" to 24" widths, and in lengths up to 10'-0" in 2' increments.  Custom dimension modules are available upon request.

Standard sheet mil thicknesses are 10 mil and 15 mil after forming.  PVC sheets have the following properties:
