Le PVC ?
P.V.C. or Poly-Vinyl-Chloride is the result of the synthesis of Chlorine and Ethylene. Originally: salt and oil. Applying electrolysis to salt enables generating chlorine. Oil refining, then steam cracking, produces Ethylene. Synthesis of Ethylene and chlorine enables producing Vinyl Chloride, which following polymerisation, is changed into polyvinyl chloride, more commonly known as P.V.C. It can be found in the form of a white powder similar to crystal sugar ; it is this form which is used by Extruflex.
"Compounding"
According to the qualities sought (flexibility, transparency, colour…) P.V.C. is added with other materials such as plastifiers, colouring agents, stabilisers… The final mix, or " compound ", is presented in the form of granules.
Extrusion
The " compound " granules are then changed into strips by means of extrusion. Extrusion enables varying the dimensions of the strips and boards, both in terms of thickness and width. The final product will be presented in the form of variable length rolls.
Extruflex's expertise covers the entire field of P.V.C. transforming.
The Extruflex range is the most comprehensive in the market.
