A terrible fire

 For many years, people have thought that PVC is an artificial note that is not harmonious in nature. It is believed that it destroys the environment and is not conducive to ecological development. In 1996, a fire broke out at the Düsseldorf airport, killing 17 people. Some wrong public opinion led people to regard PVC as the culprit of this fire, which undoubtedly increased people's misunderstanding of PVC. .

 

The beautiful appearance 

The surface and shape of the goods will give people a first impression. Advertising psychologists believe that this first impression plays a decisive role in the sale of the product. In this sense, the market prospects for PVC are very promising. In fact, with the development of the times, PVC has gradually won people's favor with its good performance, simple technology and many other advantages. It has been accepted and recognized by more and more people. PVC is in Europe and America. The darling of the construction industry, PVC can be seen everywhere in people's daily lives. PVC can not only express the color of nature, but also express the color of people's fantasy. In Germany, 40% of the furniture is made of PVC as the surface material. Seeing those desks, bookshelves, sofas and kitchen cabinets that are natural in color, gorgeous in color, rich in variety, beautiful in design, elegant in style and high in style, no one They will associate them with the ruined “white trash” on the streets, not to mention that PVC blister films give them such beautiful outerwear.


The perfect structure

So what exactly is PVC? PVC, the full name of Polyvinylchlorid, the main component is polyvinyl chloride, and other ingredients to enhance its heat resistance, toughness, ductility and so on. The uppermost layer of this surface film is lacquer, the main component in the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the lowermost layer is a back-coated adhesive. It is a well-loved, popular and widely used synthetic material in the world today. Its global use ranks second among various synthetic materials. According to statistics, in 1995 alone, the production of PVC in Europe was about 5 million tons, while its consumption was 5.3 million tons. In Germany, the production and consumption of PVC is an average of 1.4 million tons. PVC is being produced and applied worldwide at a rate of 4%. In recent years, the growth of PVC in Southeast Asia has been particularly significant, thanks to the urgent need for infrastructure construction in Southeast Asian countries. Among the materials that can produce three-dimensional surface films, PVC is the most suitable material. PVC can be divided into soft PVC and hard PVC. Hard PVC accounts for about 2/3 of the market, and soft PVC accounts for 1/3. Soft PVC is generally used for the surface of floors, ceilings and leather, but because soft PVC contains softener (this is also the difference between soft PVC and hard PVC), it is easy to become brittle and difficult to store, so its scope of use has been limited. Hard PVC does not contain softener, so it has good flexibility, easy to form, is not brittle, non-toxic and non-polluting, and has a long storage time, so it has great development and application value. Hereinafter referred to as PVC. The essence of PVC is a vacuum blister film, which is used for surface packaging of various types of panels. Therefore, it is also called decorative film and adhesive film, and is used in many industries such as building materials, packaging, and medicine. The building materials industry accounts for the largest proportion, at 60%, followed by the packaging industry, as well as several other small-scale applications.
