PVC Compounding - INDIAN VINYL COUNCIL
Thus, proper choice of plasticizer became an important part of PVC compounding. Use of plasticizer in PVC is common giving rise to far more variety of products than what is feasible with unplasticized PVC. Nearly 40-50% of all suspension PVC produced and nearly 95% of all emulsion PVC finds usage in plasticized applications.

- Are PVC resins compatible with plasticizers?
- Compatibility between plasticizers and PVC resins is another fundamental aspect that determines the overall performance of the final product. A good plasticizer must blend uniformly with the PVC matrix, ensuring that it does not phase-separate or lead to inconsistency in the material properties.
- How do plasticizers affect the performance of PVC products?
- Plasticizers influence the flexibility, workability, and durability of PVC products. Choosing the right type of plasticizer can enhance the performance characteristics of PVC while also addressing environmental and health concerns.
- Why do we need plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- Plasticizers play a crucial role in the overall performance and usability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Their addition can significantly alter the mechanical properties of PVC, thereby expanding its application range.
- Are plasticizers compatible with PVC?
- The molecular structure of plasticizers largely determines their effectiveness and compatibility with PVC. Plasticizers typically consist of large molecules that are capable of inserting themselves between PVC chains. This insertion effectively reduces intermolecular forces, allowing the PVC to become more flexible.
- Can polyvinylchloride be compounded with additives?
- In the present study, compounding of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) with some additives is studied for the enhancement of physical and mechanical properties.
