Everything about polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

PVC Raw Material which is discovered “Twice”!

PVC and construction

It is good to know that more than half of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) made in the petrochemical industry is used in construction and in place of traditional materials such as wood, cement and pottery. The ease use of PVC and its low cost compared to other specialty building materials has made it one of the most popular alternative materials. One of the Applications of polyvinyl chloride in construction ,include door and window construction, flooring, wall covering, dark windows, wiring, walls and prefabricated ceilings, hard molded exterior coatings, and more.

PVC and consumer goods

Polyvinyl chlorides (PVC) is widely use in our lives. Just take a look around and at the gadgets we are using daily then we will understand. In the manufacturing of luggage, stickers, furniture, stickers, book ,office cover and credit card, toys, sneakers, desktops, plastic bags, lightweight ball, home appliances, and many other products , PVC material have been used.

PVC and medical industry

n the medical industry, plastics are widely used. Polyvinyl chloride materials are also involved in a large part of the medical industry due to their excellent properties. Medical applications of PVC materials include medical gloves, blood-borne bags and derivatives, medical tubes and hoses, dialysis sets, microstates, catheters, tube suctioning, and more.

PVC and automotive industry

PVC materials also are used in the automotive manufacturing industry. Embroidered seats, dashboard door panels, fabric and seat covers, different parts of the body, etc. are in the car made of PVC.

PVC and garment industry

By manipulating and modifying the PVC plastic, a leather-like material called rexin can be produced. Rexin synthetic leather is widely used in the garment industry. The synthetic leather obtained in this way is used in the manufacture of shoes, suits, furniture and more. It’s also cheaper than leather, latex, and even plastic.

PVC and plumbing systems

Cheap, natural and flexibility of the PVC has made it a suitable material for use in urban and industrial water and sewage piping. A high percentage of the PVC produced is using of pipe manufacturing. These tubes have characteristics such as lightness, strength and low reactivity. This leads to their use in underground wiring and water distribution systems.

PVC and packaging

PVC materials are widely use in the packaging industry and especially food packaging. For example, the packaging of meat products, the production of a kind of food containers, blood storage bags and their derivatives is carried out by PVC materials.

PVC and electronics industry

These materials are often using to insulate electrical wires in addition to being reasonably priced of PVC, are highly resistant to insects, abrasion and soldering. Manufacturing PVC coatings on power cables isolates them and increases the safety of unprotected cables. It is said to be resistant to chemicals, fire, oil and shock. One of the features that have made these materials ideal for making electrical cables is their high flexibility. For this reason, these types of plastics are used as coatings for copper, aluminum and fiber optics.

PVC and bottle production

In various industries PVC is use to make different types of bottles. Because these types of plastics are highly resistant to harmful and toxic minerals, acids (chloric acid) and strong bases. This has led to the use of polyvinyl chloride grades in the manufacturing of vinegar bottles, mineral oils, shampoos, cosmetics, and salad dressings, translucent and matte bottles.
