PVC is an essential material used in the building & construction industry. It is a durable polymer that can be readily processed into pipes, fittings, windows, flooring, cladding, fencing, and roofing elements. The versatility of PVC architectural components has helped spur innovation by architects and designers, enabling universally used, modern design concepts. PVC window profiles are long-lasting, durable and easy to maintain. They provide highly effective insulation and are extremely robust against mechanical as well as environmental influences such as UV radiation.

The automotive industry has embraced PVC as a functional material that improves the design and longevity of vehicles. It possesses a wide range of desirable material properties for the automotive sector, as it is light, aesthetic and insulating. The applications are numerous. PVC is used in door trims, seats, dashboards, sealing and soundproofing caulks as well as for roof panels, cable sheaths and many more applications.

PVC is now the most widely used polymer for medical devices. It is light, almost impossible to tear and can be formed into nearly endless shapes of rigid or flexible medical devices: blood bags, dialysis bags and other non-breakable single-use fluid containers, catheters, tubing, examination sets and surgical gloves. It enables easy fabrication at a low cost for safe single-use products and is resistant to chemicals and fluids. Even more importantly, PVC-based medical products can easily be sterilized, making it indeed an unbeatable material for medical devices, playing an essential role in providing access to safe and affordable healthcare.

PVC has excellent thermoforming and good intrinsic barrier properties making it a superior material for packaging applications. Not only does it remain physically stable under normal use conditions, it is also resistant to chemical, oil, and grease infiltration and has good clarity and impact-resistance.

PVC is a sturdy food packaging material, preventing contamination while preserving taste and quality. Applications include containers, trays, bottles, can linings, and flexible film. PVC packaging is also used for its excellent tamper resistance and transparency, for example in blister packaging for consumer products.

PVC provides endless opportunities to improve our everyday life. It is a uniquely versatile and cost-effective product used in day-to-day products including cards, printing panels, furniture, stationery articles, garden hoses, inflatables and toys.

PVC poses no health risks to consumers and its ability to create organic shapes in an infinite array of colours makes PVC a material of the future.
