Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used plastics globally. It is produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomers and used in construction, consumer goods, packaging, electrical, and transportation industries due to its excellent electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and ease of fabrication. Global demand for PVC was 38.5 million tons in 2013 and is projected to reach 53.81 million tons by 2020. Common applications of PVC include films, building materials, sheets, appliances, medical instruments, and more.

contributing towards reducing environments impacts in
construction project completion. Most popular PVC materials that
used in building construction are pipes, Windows, Flooring and
Roofing.

11. PVC IN CONSUMER GOODS
#2

12. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) materials contribute 6% in world consumer
products. PVC materials are versatile in nature, and therefore it
widely used in manufacturing Furniture, Shoes, Credit Cards, Sports
equipment and bags. PVC materials are easy to use, strong,
durable, waterproof and lightweight and convert into any forms.

13. PVC IN PACKAGING
#3

14. Today Polyvinyl Chloride are almost used in all major types of
product packaging materials. It is best alternative to traditional
packaging materials to protect and preserve food for a long time.
PVC materials are cost-effective, transparent, tough and flexible
than traditional materials.

15. PVC IN ELECTRONIC
#4

16. PVC materials comes with good insulation properties. But due to its
polar nature in electrical insulating, it is inferior to non-polar
polymers materials. But it is suitable for medium and low voltage
and frequency insulation materials.
