What is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

 Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was one of the first plastics discovered, and is also one of the most extensively used. It is derived from salt (57%) and oil or gas (43%). It is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible.


Properties
 

PVC’s combination of properties enables it to deliver performance advantages that are hard to match. It is durable, light, strong and fire resistant, with excellent insulating properties and low permeability. By using various additives in the manufacturing process, features such as strength, rigidity, colour and transparency can be adjusted to meet specific needs.
 

Applications
 

PVC is widely used in applications such as:
 

  • Building products, including window frames and other profiles, floor and wall coverings, roofing sheets, linings for tunnels, swimming-pools and reservoirs.

  • Piping, including water and sewerage pipes and fittings, and ducts for power and telecommunications.

  • Coatings, including tarpaulins, rainwear and corrugated metal sheets.

  • Insulation and sheathing for low voltage power supplies, telecommunications, appliances, and automotive applications.

  • Packaging, pharmaceuticals, food and confectionery, water and fruit juices, labels, presentation trays.

  • Automotive applications, including cables, underbody coating and interior trimmings.

  • Medical products, including blood bags, transfusion tubes and surgical gloves.

  • Leisure products, including garden hoses, footwear, inflatable pools, tents.

If you were in their position.You would perhaps desire a system where security, dignity and fair play are assured to everyone. You might want, for example, that no one should be arrested without proper reason and information. And if someone is arrested, he or she should have a fair chance to defend themselves. You might agree that such assurance can not apply to everything. One has to be reasonable in what one expects and demands of everyone else, for one has to grant the same to everyone. But you might  insist that the assurance does not remain on paper, that there is someone to enforce these assurances, that those who violate these are punished. In other words, you might want a system where at least a minimum is guaranteed to everyone – powerful or weak, rich or poor, majority or minority. This is the spirit behind thinking about rights. Rights are claims of a person over other fellow ...
