PVC
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a low-cost and versatile thermoplastic. With its good mechanical strength and chemical resistance combination, PVC is one of the most widely used thermoplastics. Moreover, PVC demonstrates good dimensional stability, electrical insulating properties, and negligible moisture absorption, making it a durable and cost-effective solution across various applications.
