PVC
Polyvinyl chloride is used in a variety of applications. As a hard plastic, it is used as vinyl siding, window profiles,
It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely-used being phthalates. In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery, and to make flexible hoses and tubing, to roofing membranes, and electrical cable insulation.
Rigid PVC:
(Acid Resistant).
Battery Boxes/Covers, Skirting Boards, Kick Plates, Wall Coverings, Doggy Bag Dispensers and Mail Boxes.
