Bio-based PVC- A revolutionary new technology-2
The properties of bio-based PVC can vary considerably from material to material. Bio-based flexible PVC compounds use a non-phthalate plant-based plasticizer made from renewable feedstock rather than using a traditional petroleum-based plasticizer. Bio-based compounds have the same feel, strength, and ease of processing as traditional PVC compounds. This bio-based PVC cannot be distinguished from conventional plastics other than by scientific analysis. It is durable, light, strong, and fire-resistant, with excellent insulating properties and low permeability. By using various additives in the manufacturing process, features such as strength, rigidity, color, and transparency can be adjusted to meet specific needs.
The compounds are suitable for both injection molding and extrusion processing. It is suitable for several applications in agriculture, footwear, automotive, and medical applications. This gives customers the confidence that they are choosing a high quality, sustainable product without compromising the unique product qualities such as durability, strength, and recyclability that make PVC one of the most widely used, sustainable plastics in the world value-added applications across a range of industry sectors, including highly specialized end-uses such as automotive and medical.
The products from bio-based PVC help to reduce climate and environmental impacts in an even broader range of applications that have a proven positive environmental impact whilst retaining the same high performance and quality standards expected by customers.
