Advantages of PVC

PVC has the advantages of flame retardant (flame retardant value is above 40), high chemical resistance (resistance to concentrated hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid with concentration of 90%, nitric acid with concentration of 60% and sodium hydroxide with concentration of 20%), good mechanical strength and electrical insulation.
