Polychlorovinyls (PVC, PVDC)

Based on 148 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Polychlorinated vinyl polymers appear as white powders that process into clear to slightly yellow adhesive films. Key features include outstanding adhesion to many substrates, superior resistance to oils and chemicals, and inherent fire-resistant properties. Polychlorovinyl polymers are used in industrial maintenance, transportation assembly, and specialized construction applications. 

Types include homopolymer PV, vinyl chloride copolymers, and modified grades incorporating additional monomers for specific performance enhancements. Plastisol forms deliver excellent gap-filling capabilities with good substrate wetting. Recent innovations focus on formulations with reduced plasticizer levels addressing migration concerns and the development of formulations with improved sustainability profiles.
