PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride or Vinyl)
DESCRIPTION
PVC is a high-strength thermoplastic material. It is widely used in applications such as pipe, medical devices, wire and cable insulation. PVC has excellent chemical resistance. It is the world’s third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer after polyethylene and polypropylene. It is available in rod, tube, plate, and sheet. PVC is very durable and easy to process.
