PVC: Manufacturing prime quality pvc granules to meet quality standards
PVC is a very versatile and cost-effective material. Its main properties and benefits include:
- Electrical Properties: PVC is a good insulation material, thanks to its good dielectric strength.
- Durability: PVC is resistant to weathering, chemical rotting, corrosion, shock and abrasion. It is therefore the preferred choice for many long-life and outdoor products.
- Flame Retardancy: Because of its high chlorine content, PVC products are self- extinguishing. Its oxidation index is ≥45. Antimony trioxide has been used extensively, usually in combination with phosphate ester plasticizers, giving excellent fire performance and mechanical properties.
- Cost/Performance Ratio: PVC has good physical as well as mechanical properties and provides excellent cost-performance advantages. It has long life span and need low maintenance.
- Mechanical Properties: PVC is abrasion-resistant, lightweight and tough.
- Chemical Resistance: PVC is resistant to all inorganic chemicals. It has very good resistance against diluted acids, diluted alkalis and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Attacked by ketones; some grades swollen or attacked by chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, some aromatic ethers and amines, and nitro- compounds
