PVC - Polyvinylchlorid
Whether as flooring, as window profiles, as plastic pipes or children's toys: PVC is characterized by its very high bandwidth of the most diverse applications. This is due not least to its outstanding chemical and physical properties, such as good stability against sunlight, difficult inherent flammability and good chemical resistance. PVC is one of the oldest polymeric materials, having developed into one of the most important and inexpensive mass-produced plastics from its first large-scale production in the 1920s to the present day. It owes this primarily to constant further development both in the field of polymer synthesis and in the additivation and research of new and customized formulations. With our many years of experience in the development of formulations and the processing of PVC, we are the perfect partner for you when it comes to equipping this material for future challenges. For this purpose, SKZ has decades of know-how and an extensive machine park for PVC processing and testing, which we are happy to share with you.
