PVC is one of the most versatile plastics in the world due to its ability to be formulated to achieve different physical and mechanical properties. For this reason, it has found applications across a wide range of industries and is considered one of the most widely used plastics worldwide. It is extensively used in the construction industry because it is relatively cost-effective compared to other plastics and because PVC is inherently flame retardant.
By its nature, PVC resin is a fine, porous, colorless, and odorless powder that has no practical use on its own. It requires the additives supplied by Chemical Additives de México in order to make a given finished product. There are functional additives that aid in PVC processing, as well as additives that impart properties to the final product. These are incorporated into the resin through a mixing process involving high speeds and temperatures.
Our experience has taught us that polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a complex polymer to formulate, requiring extensive technical knowledge to fully understand the interaction among all the variables involved. One of its key advantages is the ability to modify its physical properties, allowing it to become either a very flexible or a rigid plastic depending on the requirements of the product being manufactured.
One of our technical sales representatives will contact you to gain a general understanding of the materials you produce and your specific requirements.
If your company currently uses any PVC additives, we review our product portfolio and, if a similar product is available, we provide the corresponding information. If a new solution is required, we then make a technical recommendation.
In such cases, a sample is offered along with the option to provide on-site technical assistance during your manufacturing process.
If you are just starting PVC production, we will be glad to assist you — we will send a sample and offer on-site technical assistance during your manufacturing process.
