Plastic recycling news
Our company exports and imports different types of waste and raw materials of all kinds of plastics: PP, PS, PE, ABS, PVC PE, PET in bales and also (granulates). We sell them to different recycling companies and other countries in Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Australia,... We would like to improve our presence in the global market, that is the reason why we would like to take part in business cooperation with your company.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is the third most produced/consumed plastic globally: with more than 40 million tons/year and is expected to reach 60 million tons/year by 2026. Various additives are added, and PVC can be supplied in a multitude of raw materials ready to be used in many applications.( See more: PVC Film Grade )
Here we will learn about some properties and applications of polyvinyl chloride. And we will also learn about production and export markets, global merchants, and how such goods are transported.
What is "PVC" thermoplastic?
There are two types of plastics, also known as synthetic resins, and they are thermoset and thermoplastic.
Thermosetting resins include phenolic resins and melamine resins, which are thermosetting resins that are once hardened, and cannot be softened again, even when they are exposed to a heat source. Thermoplastics include PVC, polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP), which are flexible and can be softened by heating. Here comes an important question: what does PVC mean? - It is an abbreviation of "Polyvinyl Chloride". With more than 45 million tons produced each year, PVC is in third place as the most widely produced synthetic resin polymer.( See more: PVC Grey Pipe Regrind )
In contrast to other thermoplastics, PVC is manufactured in powder form, while the rest of thermoplastics are supplied in compound form in granules that have been mixed with additives (such as fire resistant agents, anti-oxidation, etc.). That is why long-term storage is possible because the material is resistant to oxidation and degradation. During the processing stage, various additives and colorants are added to PVC to produce a variety of PVC products with different properties.
What kind of material is PVC?
PVC is known as 'Vinyl' or 'Polyvinyl Chloride'. Its chemical formula is (C2H3Cl)n and it is insoluble in water and alcohol. In Europe, 'Vinyl' usually refers to some specific versatile applications, such as flooring, trim and artificial leather.
57% chlorine (derived from industrial salts) and 43% carbon (primarily derived from oil/gas via ethylene) are the percentages of ingredients required for PVC to be formed. It is less dependent than other polymers on crude oil or natural gas, is non-renewable, and therefore can be considered a natural resource-saving plastic, in contrast to plastics such as PE, PP, PET, and PS, completely dependent on oil or gas. This chlorine gives PVC excellent fire resistance.( See more: PP Recycled Pellet )
What is PVC used for?
It is the third most consumed polymer worldwide because PVC is - among other reasons - an inexpensive polymer. PVC raw material offers a wide variety of uses and applications. By adding chemical additives to polyvinyl chloride, you can get a multitude of uses, products, and applications. This includes many other things: pipes, medical equipment, wire, and cable insulation, window frames, drainage pipes, plumbing pipes, medical equipment, blood storage bags, and many more.( See more: PVC Powder Suspension )
In fact, PVC comes in hard and flexible forms, so PVC's applications and products are distinguished. It is widely used in building and construction materials, especially as the rigid form of polyvinyl chloride, for example in piping and profile applications such as doors. The ductile form of PVC is used in applications such as cable insulation, leather, and flooring. In the United States and the United Kingdom, PVC is also used in various applications related to the construction industry, but it is more commonly known as vinyl siding.
