Flexible PVC Applications Authorised by Recovinyl
PVC can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers. In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery, and to make flexible hoses and tubing, flooring, to roofing membranes. PVC is an excellent electrical insulator which makes it a model product in manufacturing of cabling applications.
