PVC

Polyvinylchloride (PVC)

One of the first synthetics ever, PVC is applicable for a wide range of products due to its properties (resistant to most chemicals, low flammability, nearly zero water absorption, good thermal insulation) - mainly as a water proof coating material. However, PVC is not environment-friendly (chlorine) and not resistant to high temperatures, and thus it is being replaced more and more by other materials.
