Know PVC

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), is the third most widely produced plastic of the world, after polyethylene and polypropylene. It is expected that the global vinyl growth is to be 3-4% annually, for 2014-18 period. With its utmost versatility, the vinyl is suitable for a broad range of applications in many different industries & markets.

Rigid Vinyl:

Building: Waste water pipes & fittings, guttering, drain pipes, grating covers, roofing sheets, window frames, sanitary installations and fascia boards etc.
Mechanical engineering: Ventilation ducts, pressure pipes, thermostat housings, pipe connections, fittings, cladding and ventilators.
Electrical engineering: Acoustic panels, insulation pipes, electricity distribution boxes, transparent distributor box housings, telephone housings, plug housings, battery terminals and sound carrier sheet.
Packaging: Spice & cream containers, disposable pots, ball point pen cases, oil & beverage bottles, etc.

Plasticised Vinyl:

Electrical engineering: Cable & wire insulation, cable jackets, sockets, plugs, cable heads & distributors.
Mechanical engineering: Stuffing boxes, pipes, gaskets, hoses, protective caps for pipes, and coatings etc.
Building: Seals for windows & doors, floor coverings, doorstops, swimming bath linings, garden hoses and wire coverings.
Others: Car body seals, shoe soles, ski sunglasses, tablecloths, toys, boots, cases, cling film, balls, handbags, inflatable dinghies, office equipment and book covers.

The inherent properties of Vinyl make it appropriate for a broad variety of applications. Biologically as well as chemically resistant, it is the plastic of choice for many household sewerage pipes and allied pipe applications, where corrosion would bound the utilization of metal. With the element of impact modifiers & stabilizers, it has become a popular material for door and window frames. Also, the addition of plasticizers makes it flexible enough to be utilized in cabling applications as an insulator.
