PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a synthetic resin made from the polymerisation of vinyl chloride used to make various plastic products. PVC is used in an enormous range of domestic and industrial products including raincoat, window frame, indoor plumbing, footwear, electrical cable, packaging, stationery, and toys, also medical devices such as medical tubing and blood bags, etc.
Reference Definition by Wikipedia: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC, known as poly vinyl or vinyl) is the world’s third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible. The rigid form of PVC is used in construction for pipe and in profile applications such as doors and windows. It is also used for bottles, other non-food packaging, and cards (such as bank or membership cards). It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is also used in plumbing, electrical cable insulation, imitation leather, signage, phonograph records, inflatable products, and many applications where it replaces rubber.
