Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a versatile type of plastic used in different industries like cars, buildings, electricity, and household items. It comes in forms like rigid or liquid paste. Manufacturers mix these PVC resins with other things like plasticizers to make a substance called PVC paste. Most PVC paste is made using methods like emulsion or micro suspension polymerization. Only a small part is made using a special method called suspension.
PVC paste, also known as emulsion PVC or dispersion PVC, is getting more popular because it's used in valuable products. It's used in many things like synthetic leather, products made through slush molding, wall coverings, floors, seats and coverings, printing inks, and films for greenhouses.
The reason the market for PVC paste is growing is because more and more is being used in cars and buildings. The world is growing quickly, and we're spending a lot on building things and managing resources well. This means there's more need for PVC paste. Also, changes in the economy mean there's more construction happening, which also boosts the need for PVC paste. Governments are doing things to help with housing, and this helps companies making PVC paste. More companies are making synthetic leather because people want to stop animal abuse. This is also good for the PVC paste market. However, sometimes the prices of the materials used to make PVC paste go up and down, and there are strict rules about certain chemicals used in it. This can slow down how much the market grows. But, if we can make PVC paste in a way that's good for the environment, it could help the market grow more.
