PVC is one of the most widely used plastics in the world, with applications in construction, packaging, medical, and electrical industries. PVC is versatile, durable, and resistant to fire, water, and chemicals.

Main uses

PVC has many uses, depending on its formulation and additives. Some of the main uses are:

  • Rigid PVC: This type of PVC is used for pipes, fittings, windows, doors, roofing, siding, and other building materials. Rigid PVC is strong, lightweight, and easy to install.
  • Flexible PVC: This type of PVC is used for hoses, tubing, cables, flooring, clothing, and inflatable products. Flexible PVC is soft, elastic, and can be molded into various shapes and colors.
  • PVC foam: This type of PVC is used for insulation, cushioning, signage, and packaging. PVC foam is lightweight, thermal, and acoustic insulator, and can be cut and printed easily.
