Product Overview
PVC Polyvinyl Chloride is one of the most widely used polymers in the world. Due to its versatile nature, PVC is used extensively across a broad range of industrial, technical and everyday applications including widespread use in building, transport, packaging, electrical/electronic and healthcare applications.
Polyvinyl chloride is the world’s third-most widely produced synthetic polymer of plastic. It is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic polymers. PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible. The rigid form of PVC is used in construction for pipe and in profile applications such as doors and windows. It is also used in making plastic bottles, non-food packaging, food-covering sheets and plastic cards etc.
PVC is employed in various applications, including construction, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods. Its adaptability arises from its ability to be rigid or flexible, depending on the additives and processing techniques used. PVC products include pipes, cable insulation, clothing, inflatable structures, and a range of building materials. Despite its widespread use, concerns about environmental impact and recycling practices have led to ongoing efforts to address sustainability issues associated with PVC
In summary, PVC is a versatile polymer with a wide range of applications due to its durability, chemical resistance, and adaptability to different forms. Its usage spans across industries such as construction, electrical, packaging, and automotive. Ongoing developments focus on making PVC production and usage more environmentally friendly.
