PVC IN CONSTRUCTION#1

PVC contributes widely in construction materials and also contributing towards reducing environments impacts in construction project completion. Most popular PVC materials that used in building construction are pipes, Windows, Flooring and Roofing.

PVC IN CONSUMER GOODS#2

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) materials contribute 6% in world consumer products. PVC materials are versatile in nature, and therefore it widely used in manufacturing Furniture, Shoes, Credit Cards, Sports equipment and bags. PVC materials are easy to use, strong, durable, waterproof and lightweight and convert into any forms.

PVC IN PACKAGING#3

Today Polyvinyl Chloride are almost used in all major types of product packaging materials. It is best alternative to traditional packaging materials to protect and preserve food for a long time. PVC materials are cost-effective, transparent, tough and flexible than traditional materials.

PVC IN ELECTRONIC#4

PVC materials comes with good insulation properties. But due to its polar nature in electrical insulating, it is inferior to non-polar polymers materials. But it is suitable for medium and low voltage and frequency insulation materials.

PVC IN TRANSPORTATION#5

PVC materials are widely used in high quality and cost effective automobile materials with lower environmental impacts. Polyvinyl Chloride PVC mostly used in manufacturer Vehicles components such as underbody coating, floor modules, wire harnesses, dashboards, arm sets and exteriors parts.

PVC IN OTHER MATERIAS#6

PVC mostly used in making popular designers materials like ceramic, metal and glass. PVC are available in rigid and flexible forms, and both materials are durable and lightweight and best modern alternatives of traditional materials.
