The main applications of PVC .

1. PVC profiles

PVC Profiles and profiles are the largest areas of PVC consumption in China, accounting for about 25% of the total PVC consumption. They are mainly used to make doors and windows and energy-saving materials, and their application volume is still increasing significantly nationwide. In developed countries, the market share of plastic doors and windows also ranks first, such as 50% in Germany, 56% in France, and 45% in the United States.

 

2. PVC pipe

Among the many PVC products, PVC pipes are the second largest consumption field, accounting for about 20% of its consumption. In China, PVC pipes are developed earlier than PE pipes and PP pipes, with many varieties, excellent performance and wide application range, occupying an important position in the market.

 

3. PVC film

The consumption of PVC in the field of PVC film ranks third, accounting for about 10%. After mixing and plasticizing PVC with additives, use a three-roll or four-roll calender to make a transparent or colored film with a specified thickness, and process the film in this way to become a calendered film. Packaging bags, raincoats, tablecloths, curtains, inflatable toys, etc. can also be processed by cutting and heat sealing. The wide transparent film can be used for greenhouse, plastic greenhouse and plastic film. The biaxially stretched film can be used for shrink packaging because of its thermal shrinkage characteristics.

 

4.PVC hard material and board

Add stabilizers, lubricants and fillers to PVC, and after mixing, use an extruder to extrude hard pipes, special-shaped pipes, and corrugated pipes of various diameters, which can be used as sewer pipes, drinking water pipes, wire casings or stair handrails . The calendered sheets are superimposed and hot-pressed to make hard plates of various thicknesses. The plates can be cut into desired shapes, and then welded with hot air using PVC welding rods to form various chemical-resistant storage tanks, air ducts and containers.

 

5.PVC general soft products

Extruders can be used to extrude hoses, cables, wires, etc.; injection molding machines can be used to match various molds to make plastic sandals, soles, slippers, toys, auto parts, etc.

 

6. PVC packaging material

PVC products are mainly used in various containers, films and hard sheets for packaging. PVC containers are mainly used in the production of mineral water, beverages, and cosmetic bottles, and are also used in the packaging of refined oils. PVC film can be used for coextrusion with other polymers to produce low-cost laminates, as well as transparent products with good barrier properties. PVC film is also used in stretch or shrink wrap for mattresses, cloth, toys and industrial goods.

 

7. PVC siding and flooring

PVC siding is mainly used to replace aluminum siding. Except for a part of polyvinyl chloride resin, the other components of polyvinyl chloride floor tiles are recycled materials, adhesives, fillers and other components, which are mainly used on the ground of airport terminal buildings and hard ground in other places.

 

8. Polyvinyl chloride consumer goods

Luggage bag is a traditional product made of polyvinyl chloride. Polyvinyl chloride is used to make various imitation leathers for luggage bags and sports products such as basketball, football and rugby. It can also be used to make belts for uniforms and special protective equipment. Polyvinyl chloride fabrics for clothing are generally absorbent fabrics (no coating required), such as rain capes, baby pants, imitation leather jackets and various rain boots. PVC is used in many sports and entertainment products, such as toys, records and sports products. PVC toys and sports products have a large growth rate, and they have advantages due to their low production cost and easy molding.

 

9. PVC coated products

The artificial leather with backing is made by applying PVC paste on cloth or paper, and then plasticizing it above 100°C. It can also be made by rolling PVC and additives into a film first, and then pressing it with the substrate. The artificial leather without backing is directly calendered into a soft sheet of a certain thickness by a calender, and then pressed with a pattern.Artificial leather can be used to make suitcases, purses, book covers, sofas and car cushions, as well as floor leather, which is used as flooring materials for buildings.

 

10.PVC foam products

When soft PVC is kneaded, an appropriate amount of foaming agent is added to form a sheet, which is foamed and formed into a foam plastic, which can be used as foam slippers, sandals, insoles, and shockproof cushioning packaging materials. It can also be used to form low-foaming hard PVC sheets and profiled materials based on extruders, which can be used instead of wood. It is a new type of building material.

 

11.PVC transparent sheet

Add impact modifier and organotin stabilizer to PVC, and become transparent sheet after mixing, plasticizing and calendering. It can be made into thin-walled transparent containers or used in vacuum blister packaging by thermoforming. It is an excellent packaging material and decorative material.

 

12. Other

The doors and windows are assembled with hard profiled materials. In some countries, it has occupied the door and window market together with wooden doors and windows, aluminum windows, etc.; imitation wood materials, steel-substituting building materials (northern, seaside); hollow containers.
