PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, also called vinyl. It's made with carbon atoms derived from ethylene-which is created from natural gas or oil-and chlorine derived from salt.
PVC products last a long time. Flooring and roofing made from PVC can last for more than 20 years, and PVC water pipes used in infrastructure projects can last for more than 50. PVC products can also be recycled and reused. PVC is recycled by being ground into small pieces that are then processed into compounds to be melted and formed into new products.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used polymers in the world. Due to its versatile nature, PVC is used extensively across a broad range of industrial, technical and everyday applications including widespread use in building, transport, packaging, electrical/electronic and healthcare applications.
PVC is a very durable and long lasting material which can be used in a variety of applications, either rigid or flexible, white or black and a wide range of colours in between.
The first patent for a polymerisation process to manufacture PVC was granted to German inventor Friedrich Klatte in 1913 and PVC has been in commercial production since 1933. The material now accounts for about 20% of all plastic manufactured world-wide, second only to polyethlene.
