What is PVC?

PVC material, namely PVC, is one of the largest plastic products in the world. It is cheap and widely used. PVC resin is white or light yellow powder, which can not be used alone. It must be modified. PVC is an amorphous white powder with low branching degree and poor stability to light and heat. Different additives can be added according to different uses, and PVC plastics show different physical properties and mechanical properties. A variety of rigid, soft and transparent products can be made by adding proper amount of plasticizer into PVC resin.

PVC is completely non-toxic and odorless. It has no irritation to human skin or respiratory system. For those who are allergic to wood and paint, furniture or kitchenware packaged with PVC film is very suitable. By using PVC film as decorative film, people can largely avoid using medium density board, particleboard, plywood and fiberboard, reduce the use of wood, thereby reducing the damage to forests and even the environment.

The use of PVC once caused great controversy in Western countries. Many people tried to replace PVC with various other materials. However, it has been proved that the quality of PVC is not inferior to other substitutes, while the cost of PVC is cheaper than these materials.
