PVC vs. PE Cones: The Stack Test

Same test, two very different cones

Cones spend half their life stacked on a truck with weight on top of them, so that is exactly how we test them. In this video we stack JBC injection molded PVC cones against look-alike PE cones and let the weight do the talking.

The PVC cones flex and recover their shape; the PE cones deform and stay that way. If your cones ride in a stack between jobs, this three and a half minutes will save you a replacement order later.

What to look for in the video

  • How each material behaves under stacked weight over time.
  • The recovery difference when the stack comes apart.
  • Why injection molded PVC costs less over the life of the cone.
