uPVC PROFILES (DOORS & WINDOWS)
[EIRI/EDPR/1303] J.C. 9965, 874
INTRODUCTION
PVC was produced for the first time in 1935 and has been industrially manufactured in large quantities for over 50 years. It has been developed into a material that can offer a wider range of properties and therefore has many different applications. Total PVC productions can be split approximately into the following applications:
• 55% Construction Industry
• 16% Packaging History
• 4% Furniture
• 4% Cars
• 2% Electricity Industry
• 19% Others (including Medical and Horticultural)
The production process starts with sodium chloride, (common salt) from which chlorine gas is obtained by electrolysis. Petroleum or natural gas is used to produce ethylene, one of many products of the process known as cracking. Bringing together chlorine and ethylene, liquid vinyl chloride (VC) is produced which is immediately changed in the process by polymerisation into polyvinyl chloride.
Vinyl chloride is toxic and therefore a closed production process is used producing PVC as a white power that is chemically stable.
Polyvinyl Choride (PVC) is a chemical compound of chlorine, carbon and hydrogen. The components of PVC originate from the naturally occurring raw materials of petroleum or natural gas and common salt. The ‘u’ stands for unplasticised and means that the material has not been softened by the addition of chemicals known as plasticizers.
uPVC FOR DOORS
The basic material properties of uPVC make it ideal for door application. These properties include:
• Does not rot or biologically decompose
• Is resistant to weathering with low maintenance requirements
• Is tough on impact
• It retains its shape within normal climatic temperatures
• It can be reshaped at high temperature and can therefore be recycled
