PVC, Polyvinyl Chloride, is one of the most widely used plastics in the world. With its excellent performance and diverse applications, it occupies an important position in industrial manufacturing, construction, medical treatment, packaging and other fields. With the continuous advancement of technology, the market size and environmental performance of PVC materials are ushering in new breakthroughs.

Characteristics of PVC

PVC is a chlorine and ethylene-based thermoplastic. Its unique chemical and physical properties make it a cost-effective general-purpose material.

1.High strength and durability

PVC has excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, impact resistance, and can be used for a long time in a variety of environments.

2.Excellent chemical stability

It has strong resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, salts and oils, and is particularly suitable for use in chemical and industrial environments.

3.Fire retardancy

PVC has a high chlorine content and has natural flame retardant properties. It is widely used in the outer protection of cables and wires and building materials.

4.Easy processing

PVC can be processed into various shapes through extrusion, injection molding, blow molding and other processes to meet diverse needs.

5.Cost-effectiveness

As an economical material, PVC provides cost-effective solutions for many industries
