A. PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. The 'u' means that the PVC is unplasticised, i.e. rigid. PVC is a major thermoplastic material used in a wide variety of applications and products. The essential raw materials for PVC are derived from salt and oil. The electrolysis of salt water produces chlorine, which combine with ethylene, obtained from oil, to provide vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). Molecules of VCM are polymerised to perform PVC resin, to which appropriate additives are incorporated to make a customised PVC compound.
