POLY VINYL CHLORIDE (PVC)

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic polymers worldwide. It is naturally white and very brittle (before the additions of plasticizers) plastic. Commercially, PVC is one of the most important thermoplastics in the world today. Rigid (unplasticized) PVC is one of the most widely used plastic materials. Main applications of both types of PVC (rigid and flexible) include construction, domestic, packaging, automotive, medical, toys, clothing, wires and cables.
