Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), commonly known as PVC, is a versatile polymer used in a wide variety of industries. It is produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) through a free-radical polymerization mechanism with the help of peroxides, azo compounds or other initiators, as well as light and heat. PVC includes vinyl chloride homopolymers and vinyl chloride copolymers, collectively referred to as vinyl chloride resins. With its outstanding properties and adaptability, PVC has become the material of choice for numerous applications.
