PVC Resin

PVC Resin

Polyvinyl chloride, or simply vinyl( PVC) is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic polymer of plastic (after polyethylene and polypropylene). About 40 million tons of PVC are produced each year. 

PVC comes in rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible forms. Rigid PVC is used in construction for pipes, doors and windows. It is also used in making plastic bottles, packaging, and bank or membership cards. Adding plasticizer makes PVC softer and more flexible. It is used in plumbing, electrical cable insulation, flooring, signage, inflatable products, and in rubber substitutes. With cotton or linen, it is used in the production of canvas. 

Polyvinyl chloride is a white, brittle solid. It is insoluble in all solvents but swells in its monomer and some chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent.
