- Polyvinyl
chloride, (IUPAC Polychloroethene) commonly abbreviated PVC, is a widely
used thermoplastic polymer.
- Vinyl chloride is
a colourless gas with a characteristic mild, sweet odour. A toxic and
hazardous material, vinyl chloride has been classified as a group A,
human carcinogen.
- PVC is a
thermoplastic material. Thermoplastic materials are those that can be
melted again and again.
- PVC is strong,
lightweight, durable and versatile.
- Vinyl chloride
monomer (VCM) is used almost exclusively in polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
manufacture.
- The basic raw
materials for PVC are derived from salt and oil.
- Polyvinyl chloride
is produced by polymerization of the monomer vinyl chloride.
- The chemical
process for making PVC involves three steps: first, production of the
monomer, vinyl chloride; then the linking of these monomer units in a
polymerisation process; and finally the blending of the polymer with
additives.
- There are four
polymerization routes for the manufacture of PVC. They are as follows :
Suspension Polymerization, Emulsion Polymerization, Bulk or Mass
Polymerization, Solution Polymerization.
- PVC is commonly
used as the insulation on electric wires; the plastic used for this
purpose needs to be plasticized.
- Polyvinyl chloride
is also widely used for producing pipes.
- It can be used for
flooring, windows and door frames and shutters, water and waste pipes,
electrical applications such as cable and wire insulation materials,
architectural glazing systems, wallpaper, etc.
- PVC has been
widely used for surgery, pharmaceuticals, drug delivery and medical
packaging.
- Worldwide PVC is
the leading raw material for window frames when it comes down to the
fact of comparing weather resistance, mechanical properties and price.
- PVC itself is
highly dependent on the construction market, which reflects the ups and
downs of the world economies.
- Existing and
projected demand for high-quality PVC is still expected to be supplied
by ethylene-based manufacturers.
- China has a very
dominant role with almost 65-66% of the Asian consumption and about 27%
of the World consumption.
- China leads the
world in both production and consumption of polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
and demand will rise 8% annually through 2010.
- PVC can
be processed into various products in a number of ways. The range
extends from heat-insulating, energy-saving windows to sturdy pipes and
easy-to-clean floor coverings. Approximately seventy percent of PVC
materials are used in the building sector, many of
which are long-life products
- The major
consumption sectors are Irrigation/water supply (38%), Buildings and
Construction (23%), the remaining being used in medical, footwear,
profiles, packaging etc.
- In 2012,
worldwide production
capacity for PVC was 54 million tons, an increase of 9 million Tons
since 2009.
- In the
emerging markets, e.g. China or the Indian subcontinent, growth is
expected to be between 5 and 8 % per year, while only slight growth is
expected for Western Europe.
