Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) granules are a widely used thermoplastic material used in various industries. These granules are made from raw polyvinyl chloride along with additives such as plasticizers, stabilizers and pigments to achieve specific properties.

Features of PVC granules:

– High chemical resistance to acids, bases and oils.
– Variable flexibility and hardness depending on the type of plasticizers added.
– Excellent electrical insulation making it suitable for electrical applications.
– Flame resistance which is important in some construction applications.

Types of PVC granules:

– Rigid PVC: High strength and suitable for pipes, building profiles and automotive parts.
– Flexible PVC: High flexibility and suitable for cables, hoses and medical products.
– Transparent PVC: For products that require visual visibility, such as medical packaging and plastic windows.

Applications of PVC granules:

– Manufacturing of pipes and fittings in the construction industry.
– Manufacturing of electrical cables and electrical insulators.
– Manufacturing of automotive parts such as gaskets and seals.
– Medical products such as blood bags and medical tubes
