PVC RESIN

Poly Vinyl Chloride Resin or PVC Resin as it is popularly called, is a thermoplastic Resin that can be softened on reheating. A common term for this commodity polymer is Vinyl. Often available in the form of a powder, PVC granules are highly resistant to oxidization and degradation caused by the atmospheric reaction.  In its raw form, it appears as a white powdery solid.

 

The composition of PVC is such that 57 % is chlorine and 43% is carbon. Since the process of deriving PVC Resin granules is rarely dependent on petroleum, it is considered as one of the more renewable plastics.
