What exactly is PVC?

<p>PVC, full name is Polyvinylchlorid, the main ingredient is polyvinyl chloride, and other ingredients are added to enhance its heat resistance, toughness, ductility and so on. The top layer of this surface film is lacquer, the main component in the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is a back coating adhesive. It is a synthetic material that is loved, popular and widely used in the world today. Its global usage ranks second among various synthetic materials. According to statistics, in 1995 alone, PVC production in Europe was about 5 million tons, while its consumption was 5.3 million tons. In Germany, PVC production and consumption average 1.4 million tons. PVC is being produced and applied worldwide with a growth rate of 4%. The growth of PVC in Southeast Asia is particularly significant several times, thanks to the urgent need for infrastructure construction in Southeast Asian countries. Among the materials that can produce three-dimensional surface films,<strong> </strong><a href="linyangpvc.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PVC manufacturers</strong></a> is the most suitable material.</p><p>PVC can be divided into soft PVC and hard PVC. Among them, hard PVC accounts for about 2/3 of the market, and soft PVC accounts for 1/3. Soft PVC is generally used in the surface layer of floor, ceiling, and leather. However, because soft PVC contains softener (this is also the difference between soft PVC and hard PVC), it is easy to become brittle and difficult to store, so its range of use is limited. Hard PVC does not contain softener, so it has good flexibility, easy to form, not brittle, non-toxic and non-polluting, and long storage time, so it has great development and application value. Hereinafter are referred to as PVC. The essence of PVC is a vacuum blister film, which is used for surface packaging of various panels, so it is also known as decorative film and adhesive film. It is used in many industries such as building materials, packaging, and medicine. Among them, the building materials industry accounts for the largest proportion, 60%, followed by the packaging industry, as well as several other small-scale applications.</p>
