Extruded PVC granules products of any kind are commonly used in many industrial fields and this is the reason why the demand of these objects is extremely high. Although ever more companies request the products to complete their manufacturing process, the businesses that work in the extruding sector are not many and most of them use only a limited number of raw material types.

PVC is a plastic material used to build many different products. Its characteristics make it safe to be used in various industrial fields, especially because of its extremely low price and great durability. As any other material, before being sold to the end customer it must undergo different processing stages that transform the raw material into PVC granules.

PVC powder is the main raw material for PVC products. It is a pure powder and does not contain any additives or other additives.

PVC granules are usually added with stabilizers, impact aids and other modifying additives. Usually you don't need to add anything after purchase, you can use it directly on the machine.

The difference between powder and granules is due to the addition of different additives and raw materials. The cheapest price in the formula is PVC powder. The current price is about 7,000 yuan / ton (price changes are very large, the specific need to see real-time manufacturers quotes), accounting for 70% of the formula. The other 30% are other raw materials. In addition to the cheaper calcium carbonate, the price of other auxiliary materials is quite expensive.

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, and it’s a plastic material known for its many different properties that make it perfect for many industrial sectors as the building one, for example. PVC comes in two different forms, a rigid one which is also the most common, and a flexible one.

Its basic characteristics can be manipulated through the use of some additives. In fact, PVC can be transformed into a fire safe plastic, which comes in handy in those fields in which safety is a really important matter, but it can also be made more elastic with the use of certain chemical products.

Generally speaking, PVC is resistant to high mechanical stress, it can bear environments in which acids, bases, fats, alcohols, and salts are massively present, and it is also a good insulator. As we already stated before, even with all these high-quality characteristics this material is really cheap.

PVC originally comes in the form of tiny beads that are shaped into different objects through the extrusion process. The beads are pushed into a barrel, thanks to a rotating screw; here the high temperature, caused by the friction of the material rubbing on itself and the barrel, melts them. Through a series of processes, the final finished PVC granules are made.
