Let\u2019s start talking about the <strong>rigidity of PVC<\/strong>: the material is <strong>very stiff<\/strong> if pure but <strong>it becomes flexible<\/strong> if mixed with<strong> other substances<\/strong>. This distinctive trait makes PVC suitable for the manufacturing of products used in different fields, from the building one to the automotive one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, <strong>not each peculiarity<\/strong> of the substance<strong> is convenient<\/strong>. The <strong>melting temperature<\/strong> of this polymer is <strong>pretty low<\/strong>, which makes PVC unsuitable for those environments where extremely high temperatures can be reached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, hazards can originate from the fact that,<strong> if overheating<\/strong>, PVC releases <strong>molecules of chlorine<\/strong> as hydrochloric acid or dioxin. Coming into contact with this substance could cause irreparable <strong>health issues<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To make the polymer compatible with its industrial production, it is <strong>mixed with stabilisers<\/strong>, <strong>plasticisers<\/strong>, <strong>colorants<\/strong>, and <strong>lubricants<\/strong> which help in the manufacturing process as well as in making PVC more pliable and less prone to wear and tear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PVC granules: the production<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on its characteristics and its dangerousness, PVC granules have to be produced in<strong> specialized plants<\/strong>. Plasticol has a <strong>production line solely dedicated to this plastic material<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first stage of the <strong>manufacturing of PVC granules<\/strong> consists of the <strong>creation of long tubes of material<\/strong> made through a special extrusion plant. The next step consists of <strong>cutting the plastic<\/strong> in really small beads. The process is actually really simple, but it is extremely important to use caution when handling the material, taking fundamental precautions that may make it more complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re interested in buying granulated PVC that respects all the<strong> safety standards<\/strong> call Plasticol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 1.7em\">Via San Carlo 35<\/span><br \/>\n21017- Samarate (VA)<br \/>\n<strong>Phone:\u00a0<\/strong>(+39) 0331 234 212<br \/>\n<strong>Fax:<\/strong>\u00a0(+39) 0331 235 108<br \/>\n<strong>Email:<\/strong>\u00a0info@plasticol.it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PVC granules PVC is one of the most used plastics in the industry sector.
