PVC Polymers Testing Instruments

Polyvinyl Chloride is an economical thermoplastic polymer used in the building and construction industry to produce door and window profiles, pipes, drinking and wastewater, wire and cable insulation, medical devices, etc. It is the world’s third-largest thermoplastic material by volume after polyethene and polypropylene. It is a brittle solid material that can be found in powder form or granules. PVS has many properties such as lightweight, durable, low cost and easy processability and is now replacing traditional building materials like wood, metal, concrete, rubber, ceramics, and so forth. PVC is available in two forms, one is a rigid or plasticized polymer and the second is a flexible plastic. In its base form, PVC is found in the rigid and brittle structure. While the plasticized version holds various uses across multiple industries, the rigid version of PVC also has its share of uses. Industries such as plumbing, sewage, and agriculture can utilize rigid PVC across many functions. Manufacturers test the quality of PVC using several testing instruments such as PVC Polymers Testing Instruments.
