2. Introduction
0 Polyvinyl chloride more correctly but unusually poly(vinyl
chloride), commonly abbreviated PVC, is the world's third-most
widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and
polypropylene.
0 PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as
RPVC) and flexible.
0 The rigid form of PVC is used in construction for pipe and in profile
applications such as doors and windows. It is also used for bottles,
other non-food packaging, and cards (such as bank or membership
cards).
0 It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of
plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates.
0 In this form, it is also used in plumbing
0 Pure poly(vinyl chloride) is a white, brittle solid. It is insoluble in
alcohol.
3. PVC doors properties
0 Mechanical properties
0 PVC has high hardness and mechanical properties.
0 The mechanical properties enhance with the molecular weight
increasing but decrease with the temperature increasing.
0 Thermal and fire properties
0 The heat stability of raw PVC is very poor, so the addition of a heat
stabilizer during the process is necessary in order to ensure the
product's properties. PVC starts to decompose when the
temperature reaches 140 °C .
0 Electrical properties
0 PVC is a polymer with good insulation properties, but because of its
higher polar nature the electrical insulating property is inferior to
non polar polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
4. 0 Electrical properties
0 Since the dielectric constant, dielectric
loss tangent value, and volume resistivity
are high, the corona resistance is not
very good, and it is generally suitable for
medium or low voltage and low
frequency insulation materials.
0 Chemical properties
0 PVC is chemically resistant to acids, salts,
bases, fats, and alcohols; therefore, it is
used in sewerage piping.
0 It is also resistant to some solvents,
mainly . Plasticized PVC, also known as
PVC-P, is in some cases less resistant to
solvents.
0 For example, PVC is resistant to fuel and
some paint thinners.
5. PVC doors application
0 Used in different types of building such
as residential, commercial, institutional
and many more
0 Used in interiors as it is available in
many designs and colors.
0 Used in interiors as it is light weight
doors.
0 Used commonly because it is cheap.
0 Used commonly because of no
maintenance required making it time
saving.
6. Advantages and
disadvantages
Advantage Disadvantage
These are stable material so it is sea
water resistant ,pollution resistant
pvc windows and doors are not
suitable to be used as front doors
due to their light weight.
pvc windows and doors needs only
regular cleaning it doesn't rots or
fades.
less used in exterior because of light
weight
pvc doors and windows are
chemically proof , dust proof ,sound
proof
Upvc is cheaper material it is
available in low cost.
Strength and durability
