Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a synthetic polymer that is widely used in various industries due to its versatility and low cost. PVC is a thermoplastic material that can be formulated to be either rigid or flexible, making it easy to process and blend. PVC is produced in two general forms: a rigid or unplasticized polymer (RPVC or uPVC), and the second as a flexible plastic. Rigid PVC is characterized by its rigid yet brittle structure, while the plasticized version of PVC is much clearer and flexible. PVC is used in various applications, including construction, healthcare, electrical wiring, and cables, among others. Some of the key properties of PVC include high density, low cost, good durability, high strength, and excellent electric insulator. PVC is also resistant to chemicals, weather, and corrosive environments. PVC is widely used in the construction industry for pipes, doors, windows, and profiles, among others, due to its durability and low maintenance. PVC is also used in the production of packaging materials, medical devices, and clothing fiber, among others.
