PVC Resin
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely produced thermoplastic polymers in the world after polyethylene and polypropylene. Without the additions of plasticizers, PVC is a naturally white, brittle plastic. Its most common use is in the construction industry, but it is also used to manufacture signs, in healthcare applications, and as a fiber for clothing.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). The chemical formula for PVC is (C2H3Cl)n, where “n” indicates the number of repeating units.
Appearance: White to light yellow powder or granules.
Density: Approximately 1.4 g/cm³.
Melting Point: Typically ranges from 75°C to 105°C depending on the formulation.
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg): Around 80°C.
Thermal Stability: Stable up to about 60°C; degradation begins at higher temperatures.
Tensile Strength: Ranges from 40 to 70 MPa depending on the type and formulation.
Elongation at Break: Generally between 100% and 300%.
Hardness: Shore A hardness can vary widely based on additives, typically between 70A to 90A.
Good resistance to acids, bases, and salts but can be affected by strong solvents like ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Can be blended with various plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, and colorants to achieve desired properties.
