Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Polyvinyl chloride is an amorphous thermoplastic polymer. PVC (acronym) is hard and brittle and does not become soft, plastic and suitable for technical applications until plasticisers and stabilisers are added to it.
PVC is known for its use in floorings, as window profiles, pipes, for coloured cable sheathing and records.

Especially in the packaging sector, PVC films are used as the carrier (backing) for adhesive tapes.
