Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic resin that is manufactured by reacting vinyl chloride monomers with divalent metal ions in an emulsion. PVC is available in rigid and flexible forms depending on the type of stabilizers that are used. Rigid PVC is characterized by high mechanical strength, low cost, and good electrical properties. PVC is used to manufacture pipes and fittings, films and sheets, bottles, hoses and tubing, wires and cables, and profiles. The major end-users of the PVC include building and construction, automotive, electrical and electronics, packaging, footwear, and healthcare.
