PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used synthetic plastic polymer. It is known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for various applications. You can find PVC in everyday products like pipes, window frames, flooring, and medical devices. It can be produced in rigid or flexible forms, depending on its use. While PVC is affordable and versatile, concerns about its environmental impact and potential health risks related to its production and disposal have led to ongoing discussions about sustainability and safer alternatives.
