PVC

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), commonly referred to as vinyl, is a cost-effective and versatile thermoplastic polymer extensively employed in the building and construction sector. Its applications include the manufacture of door and window profiles, in addition to its use in drinking and wastewater piping, wire and cable insulation, and various medical devices. PVC ranks as the third-largest thermoplastic polymer globally, characterized by its lightweight nature, durability, affordability, and processing ease. It is often used as a substitute for traditional materials such as wood, metal, concrete, rubber, and ceramics. PVC is synthesized through the polymerization of vinyl chloride and is utilized in an array of products, ranging from raincoats and shower curtains to window frames and plumbing systems. Its inherent resistance to fire and water further enhances its suitability for a diverse range of applications.
