PVC
What is PVC?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a thermoplastic material that can be repeatedly melted at a specific temperature and will harden after cooling. This process makes PVC strong, lightweight and durable. These qualities make PVC an ideal material for a variety of applications.
PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid PVC (also known as uPVC or RPVC) and flexible (soft) PVC. Both rigid and flexible PVC are cost-effective solutions that can be combined with various additives to enhance the versatility of performance. Due to its wide range of hardness, good electrical resistance and other PVC characteristics, this material is an attractive choice for everything from rigid PVC pipes to transparent PVC pipes used in automotive and medical applications.

Features and advantages of PVC
Easy to process, can be mixed into hard and soft PVC materials.
It is resistant to grease, oil and chemicals and can be effectively used in the automotive and medical industries.
Resistant to severe weather conditions-non-corrosive, very durable for long-term use and exposure.
Flame retardancy with fire resistance-it is difficult to ignite, without a powerful external flame, it will not continue to burn.
Compatible with various additives-make PVC transparent or colored, rigid or flexible.
Excellent electrical insulation-ideal for cable and other electrical applications.
