Plastic solenoid valves have become a vital component in many industries due to their lightweight design, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. These electrically operated valves are used for controlling the flow of liquids and gases in various systems. Constructed from durable plastic materials such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PP (Polypropylene), and PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride), plastic solenoid valves offer significant benefits over their metal counterparts, making them an ideal solution in applications that demand reliable flow control under challenging conditions.
What are Plastic Solenoid Valves? A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve that uses an electrical current to control the flow of liquids or gases. When an electric current passes through the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field that activates a plunger inside the valve, either opening or closing the valve to control the flow. Plastic solenoid valves function in the same way as metal solenoid valves, but with the added advantage of being made from plastic materials, which offer better resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and moisture. These valves are ideal for controlling flow in environments where traditional metal valves may fail due to rust or chemical degradation.
