Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
PVC is a durable and chemically stable plastic used in a wide variety of rigid and flexible forms. It can be formulated with additives for flame resistance, UV protection, and flexibility. Rigid PVC is often used in piping, while flexible PVC is found in tubing, flooring, and electrical cable insulation. It's known for its toughness, costeffectiveness, and resistance to weathering.
- High chemical and weather resistance
- Naturally flame-retardant
- Available in rigid and flexible forms
- Long-lasting in harsh conditions
• Pipes and fittings
• Electrical insulation
• Vinyl flooring and windows
• Medical tubing and blood bags
