- Polyvinyl chloride,
(IUPAC Polychloroethene) commonly abbreviated PVC, is a widely used
thermoplastic polymer.
- Vinyl chloride is a
colourless gas with a characteristic mild, sweet odour. A toxic and
hazardous material, vinyl chloride has been classified as a group A,
human carcinogen.
- PVC is a
thermoplastic material. Thermoplastic materials are those that can be
melted again and again.
- PVC is strong,
lightweight, durable and versatile.
- Vinyl chloride
monomer (VCM) is used almost exclusively in polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
manufacture.
- The basic raw
materials for PVC are derived from salt and oil.
- Polyvinyl chloride
is produced by polymerization of the monomer vinyl chloride.
- The chemical process
for making PVC involves three steps: first, production of the monomer,
vinyl chloride; then the linking of these monomer units in a
polymerisation process; and finally the blending of the polymer with
additives.
- There are four
polymerization routes for the manufacture of PVC. They are as follows :
Suspension Polymerization, Emulsion Polymerization, Bulk or Mass
Polymerization, Solution Polymerization.
- PVC is commonly used
as the insulation on electric wires; the plastic used for this purpose
needs to be plasticized.
- Polyvinyl chloride
is also widely used for producing pipes.
- Nowadays, PVC is
commonly used in the construction sector, for example in window frames
and shutters, pipe cabling and coating, etc..
- It can be used for
flooring, windows and door frames and shutters, water and waste pipes,
electrical applications such as cable and wire insulation materials,
architectural glazing systems, wallpaper, etc.
- PVC has been widely
used for surgery, pharmaceuticals, drug delivery and medical packaging.
- Worldwide PVC is the
leading raw material for window frames when it comes down to the fact of
comparing weather resistance, mechanical properties and
price.
- PVC itself is highly
dependent on the construction market, which reflects the ups and downs
of the world economies.
- The global VCM
market has been growing at nearly 4%/year. However, growth rates in the
developed world have been slipping as these markets mature while
stronger demand growth has been seen in Asia, in particular China and
India.
- It is estimated that
the present consumption of PVC pipes is approximately 800,000 tons per
annum in India.
- In line with
Asia-Pacific GDP growth, demand growth for PVC in 2005 is estimated at
7%, representing an increase from approximately 13 million tons in 2004
to almost 14 million tons in 2005.
- Existing and
projected demand for high-quality PVC is still expected to be supplied
by ethylene-based manufacturers.
- China has a very
dominant role with almost 65-66% of the Asian consumption and about 27%
of the World consumption.
- China leads the
world in both production and consumption of polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
and demand will rise 8% annually through 2010.
- Construction will
remain the largest application while packaging uses will surpass the
consumer and institutional segment to become the second largest PVC
market.
- The major
consumption sectors are Irrigation/water supply (38%), Buildings and
Construction (23%), the remaining being used in medical, footwear,
profiles, packaging etc.
- The world
consumption of PVC (2001) was around 25 MM MT (55 billion pounds),
second only to low density polyethylene.
