PVC
PVC is polyvinylchloride and comes in many different forms.
These different forms modify the properties to suit particular
applications. Plasticisers, stabilisers and impact modifiers
can be added to produce these modifications.
In general, PVC is light, water resistant, offers a long
life cycle and does not require much maintenance. These excellent
qualities makes PVC one of the most commonly used plastics
today.
PVC is especially suitable for the construction industry .
Its commercial value results from these characteristics:
1. Basic properties: chemically inert; water, corrosion and
weather resistant; high strength-to-weight ratio; tough, dent-resistant;
an electrical and thermal insulator; and maintains properties
over long periods of time.
2. Process versatility; can be made in different form to
permit processing on a wide variety of equipment; each form
can be altered further by compounding to achieve particular
properties in end products which range from soft to rigid
in nature.
3. Properties can be provided at an economic cost. In the
long term, PVC products are less energy-intensive on an installed
basis than most conventional materials. Their light weight,
insulating-and maintenance-free characteristics contribute
to conservation of energy over the life of the product.
