Polyvinyl Chloride (abbreviated PVC) is known as the third most widely produced plastic raw material in the world after PE and PP. About 40 million tonnes PVC are produced per year and it comes in two basic forms: rigid and soft. PVC finds application in the construction trades, where its rigidity and low flammability are useful in pipe, conduit, siding, window frames, and door frames. In combination with plasticizer (sometimes in concentrations as high as 50 percent), it is familiar to consumers as floor tile, garden hose, imitation leather upholstery, and shower curtains. PVC is produced in two polymerization methods; suspension (about 80%) and Emulsion (Less than 20%). Suspension polymerization affords particles with average diameters of 100-180 µm whereas emulsion polymerization gives much smaller particles of average size around 0.2 µm
Suspension Polyvinyl Chloride (S-PVC)
S-57 / S-60: Used for extrusion, injection blow molding articles and calendering process of rigid film and sheet. It also used for pipe fitting.
S-65: Used for soft application, flexible film, and other flexible products such as hoses. It also suits for cables and wires application (insulation and sheathing). Also used for transparent and white products due to the excellent initial colour properties.
S-67: Used in production of rigid pipes (pressure and non-pressure), rigid profiles, electric cables, corrugated tubes and conduits, clothing and furniture, healthcare, flooring, wire rope, etc.
S-70: Used for extrusion, injection molding and calendering or flexible products, especially for wires and cables.
