Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Polyvinyl Chloride, or PVC for short, is a synthetic plastic polymer made from vinyl chloride monomer. It is one of the most widely used thermoplastics in the world, known for its versatility, durability, and resistance to water, heat, and chemicals. PVC is commonly used in a variety of applications, including construction materials like pipes and siding, clothing, packaging, electrical insulation, and automotive parts. It is colorless and odorless in its pure form, but is often plasticized with additives to improve its flexibility and processability. PVC is also recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for many applications.
