Abbreviation: PVC

Polyvinyl Chloride, commonly known as PVC, is a versatile and widely used synthetic plastic resin. It is derived from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers. PVC’s exceptional properties, including durability, chemical resistance, and affordability, make it a preferred choice in various applications. It is used extensively in construction for pipes, fittings, and profiles due to its ability to withstand diverse environmental conditions. Additionally, PVC is used in manufacturing vinyl flooring, window frames, cables, and a wide range of consumer products. While its widespread usage offers numerous benefits, concerns about environmental impact and recycling have led to increased efforts to develop more sustainable alternatives and recycling methods for PVC.
