Market Overview:

PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride is a very commonly used thermoplastic whose usage has become ubiquitous thanks to its nonreactivity, chemical stability, lightweight, and longevity. It finds application in a plethora of fields, some of which include agriculture, construction, the automotive sector, gas transportation, consumer-grade plastics, water containers, and electronic equipment. The addition of certain compounds to the raw material during the production of PVC gives it new properties that may be required for application in a particular field. For example, the addition of Impact Modifiers like Acrylics and MBS (Methyl Butadiene Styrene) increases the Impact Resistance of PVC without impairing its other properties, thus making it ideal for usage in Automotive and Defense applications.
