The essence of PVC is a kind of vacuum blister film, used for all kinds of panels of the surface layer of the packaging, so it is also known as decorative film, attached to the adhesive film, used in building materials, packaging, medicine and many other industries. Among them? Building materials industry accounted for the largest proportion of 60%, followed by the packaging industry, and a number of other small-scale application of the industry.

Expanded Information

PVC is used to make corrosion-resistant pipes, fittings, oil pipes, centrifugal pumps and blowers because of its high chemical stability. The hardboard of PVC is widely used in the chemical industry to make various storage tank linings, corrugated boards for buildings, door and window structures, wall decorations and other building materials. Due to the excellent electrical insulation properties, it can be used in the electrical and electronic industries for the manufacture of plugs, sockets, switches and cables.
