PVC (polyvinylchloride)
PVC is an amorphous thermoplastic.
It is hard and brittle, but can be made soft and malleable by adding plasticizers and stabilizers. The plasticizer-free PVC-U (unplasticized) is predominantly used in our machining operations. PVC is known, among other things, for its use in flooring, window profiles, pipes, for cable insulation and sheathing, and for records, which are called “vinyls” in English.
Properties
The properties of PVC are:- high chemical resistance
- high rigidity
