Industry Overview
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was first produced in 1935 and has been manufactured on an industrial scale for more than 50 years. Over time, it has evolved into a highly versatile polymer capable of delivering a wide range of physical and mechanical properties, making it suitable for numerous industrial and commercial applications. PVC production is distributed across various end-use sectors depending on the required product characteristics.
The manufacturing process begins with sodium chloride (common salt), from which chlorine gas is obtained through electrolysis. Ethylene is produced from petroleum or natural gas through the cracking process. Chlorine and ethylene are then combined to produce liquid vinyl chloride (VC), which is immediately converted into polyvinyl chloride through polymerization.
Because vinyl chloride is toxic, PVC is manufactured using a closed production process that ensures safe handling while producing a chemically stable white powder. Polyvinyl chloride is a compound consisting of chlorine, carbon, and hydrogen, with its raw materials derived from common salt and petroleum or natural gas. In the case of uPVC (unplasticised PVC), the material does not contain plasticizers, resulting in a rigid product widely used in applications such as doors, windows, and other construction products that require durability, weather resistance, and dimensional stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
uPVC is the rigid, unplasticised form of polyvinyl chloride. Unlike flexible PVC, uPVC does not contain plasticizers that soften the material. As a result, it offers excellent rigidity, durability, weather resistance, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for applications such as windows, doors, pipes, and other construction products where long service life and low maintenance are important.
PVC is manufactured by polymerizing vinyl chloride. The production process begins with chlorine obtained from common salt through electrolysis and ethylene derived from petroleum or natural gas. These materials are combined to produce vinyl chloride monomer, which is then polymerized in a controlled process to produce chemically stable PVC suitable for further processing into various products.
A closed production process is used because vinyl chloride is toxic. Enclosed systems help minimize worker exposure, improve environmental safety, and maintain process control during polymerization. This approach also supports consistent product quality by producing PVC as a chemically stable white powder that can be safely processed into finished products.
The primary raw materials are common salt and petroleum or natural gas. Chlorine is produced from sodium chloride through electrolysis, while ethylene is obtained from petroleum or natural gas by cracking. These feedstocks are combined to produce vinyl chloride, which is then polymerized into PVC for industrial applications.
uPVC is widely used in the construction and infrastructure sectors. Its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weather durability, and low maintenance makes it suitable for manufacturing doors, windows, profiles, pipes, cladding, and other building components that require long-term performance under varying environmental conditions.
