PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is derived from ethylene and chlorine. Over the last couple of decades, we have seen PVC become exceptionally popular in dozens of sectors and the material is used to make thousands of products.
So, let us explain the reasons for this popularity
Highly Versatile
PVC is certainly one of the most versatile materials out there. As experienced PVC material suppliers in South Africa, we know that our PVC compounds are used to make a vast array of different products in the construction, packaging, and medical industries, as well as many other industries. PVC does truly lend itself to many different uses and this is certainly the biggest reason for its widespread popularity.
Readily Available
PVC materials and PVC compounds are readily available around the world. These materials are easy to come by. In most cases you don’t need to wait very long to have your order delivered to your doorstop. This constant and reliable supply is what makes PVC a favorable material for many manufacturers.
Durable and Weather Resistant
One of the things that PVC receives the most praise for is the fact that it is so durable. It is one of the most durable types of plastic and can be UV resistant, chemical resistant, and weather resistant, depending on what sort of additives you put into the raw materials.
Lightweight
Most durable materials tend to be quite heavy, and this makes them impractical for certain applications. Steel is a good example of a durable material that is very heavy. But PVC is quite unique in that although it is strong and durable, it is lightweight so can be used for a wide variety of applications across different industries.
Comes in Many Different Forms
PVC comes in so many different types, colors, and flexibilities. And this is what allows it to be used to create so many different types of products.
