polyvinyl chloride, is one of the three highest volume polymers, slightly behind polyethylene and polypropylene. It is used in most industrial sectors (e.g. packaging, automotive, building, agriculture, medical care). The typical intrinsic properties of PVC are [Pg.91]

Generally, there are three different processes used in the manufacture of PVC [Pg.91]

The co-existence of the suspension and emulsion processes is mainly due to the very different morphological characteristics of the PVC particles. On the one hand, the specific characteristics of emulsion-PVC (E-PVC) are required for a number of specific applications and give an advantage in some others. On the other hand, the suspension process is better suited to the large volume production of a limited number of grades. It is, therefore, necessary to produce a significant proportion of PVC via the emulsion process in order to supply specific markets for which suspension PVC is technically unsuitable. [Pg.91]
