PVC films can be roughly divided into two categories: plasticized PVC films, also known as soft PVC films, and unplasticized PVC films, also known as hard PVC films. Polyvinyl chloride plastic film is generally used in the largest amount in electrical aspects, namely electrical adhesive tape. According to its characteristics, it can also be used for protective adhesive tape, luggage adhesive tape, identification adhesive tape, advertising tape, pipeline adhesive tape, etc. It is also widely used in daily life, such as footwear, toys, raincoats, tablecloths, umbrellas, agricultural films, etc.

The degradation of plastics refers to the end of the polymer life cycle and the reduction of molecular weight, manifested as brittleness, cracking, softening, hardening, and loss of mechanical strength. The degradation of ordinary plastic bags takes decades or even hundreds of years, and landfill or incineration of non degradable plastic bags can pollute the environment. Therefore, biodegradable plastic bags are a significant invention.

Transparency: PE film has lower transparency, while PVC film has better transparency. Tension: PE cling film has low tension, while PVC cling film has high tension. Burning: PE cling film is easy to burn, drips oil, and has a candle smell; PVC cling film burns and emits black smoke, producing a pungent odor. PVC cling film has much stronger self-adhesiveness than PE cling film.

The main PVC production areas are concentrated in Asia, the Americas, and Europe, with a total global production capacity of nearly 59.5 million tons. Asia has a capacity of about 39.5 million tons, accounting for more than 66% of the total global production capacity. The Americas have a capacity of around 11 million tons, accounting for approximately 18% of the global total, and the EU's PVC production capacity is around 8.6 million tons, accounting for 14.5% of the global total. In 2021, China's PVC total production capacity was 27.33 million tons, accounting for approximately 44.8% of the global total. The global consumption of PVC exceeds 46 million tons, with downstream consumption mainly focused on pipes, profiles, films, wires and cables, and floor leather, which are closely related to the construction industry. If the global construction industry experiences a recovery, the demand for PVC will continue to steadily increase.
