PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) is a plastic material with the longest history in industrial production. People started to synthesize PVC in 1835. However, it was not until 1937 that PVC was produced on a complete industrial scale.( see more: PVC Film Grade )
Classification and characteristics of PVC
- PVC plastic has 2 forms: white powder or pellets.
- PVC is made up of vinyl chloride molecules linked together, thereby forming a polymer.
- PVC is made softer and more flexible by the addition of phthalates in the manufacturing process.
- PVC is non-toxic, the only reason it is toxic is because of the additive. While processing and manufacturing products, PVC plastic will have the HCl (hydrochloric acid) separation, so PVC has less impact resistance. To enhance the impact properties of PVC, manufacturers often use: MBS, ABS, CPE, and EVA with a ratio of 5 - 15%.
- PVC is a very good electrical insulator, plasticizers are often added to create flexibility for PVC. From there, PVC can be applied to make insulating materials.( see more: PVC IC Tube )
What is the application of PVC plastic?
- PVC is commonly used to make pipes, conduits, and pipe fittings.
- Materials for vinyl flooring and vinyl siding.
- Used to make painted wire and cable.
- Packaging materials, packaging films, water troughs, gaskets, posters, billboards, and advertising banners.
- Finished textiles, thin bed sheets, roof membranes, irrigation systems, floor mats, etc.
- Making PVC panels, used in the interior, construction, etc.
- Used as medical devices such as intravenous bags, blood bags, tubes, catheters, dialysis equipment, etc.
- Making recreational toys and some sports goods, etc.
Due to its wide range of applications in industries and daily life commodities, the use of PVC is increasing day by day. However, the disposal of PVC plastic waste has not been handled well. This becomes an environmental problem.
Currently, many environmental protection organizations are calling for the treatment of PVC waste/scrap. Options for disposing of PVC plastic waste include: landfilling, incineration, and recycling. Collection and transportation systems also need to be considered to determine the overall economic and environmental performance of each of those measures. Among them, recycling is appreciated by many people and governments.( see more: PVC Lump )
Recycling PVC: Since PVC does not have a complex chemical structure or valuable elements; it is less likely to create high-value products in the recycling process. However, if the recycling process produces products of commercial value and exploits the properties of PVC, it can be cost-effective for many low budget commodities. Or, recycled PVC can be mixed with virgin plastics to reduce the price of the material. During the recycling process, PVC is mixed with a number of additives such as heat stabilizers, and various agents: lubricating, plasticizing, UV absorbing, machining aids, hardening, impact resistance, baking powder, fireproof to match the features of each product.
Prospects of the recycling process: Currently, only 2-3% of PVC waste is recycled. Potential processes for PVC recycling will be developed with the development of the recycling technology and collection and sorting system of each country. Whether the recycling process increases or not depends on the collection system and the associated costs of the chosen disposal method. The recycling rate also depends on the regulations applied to the recycling of PVC containing phthalates and heavy metals.( see more: PVC Mix Color Regrind )
