PVC Resin 701
PVC Resin 701 is a high-quality suspension-grade polyvinyl chloride resin with a K-value of approximately 70–71, indicating high molecular weight. It is widely used in the production of flexible PVC products where excellent strength, elongation, and plasticizer absorption are required. PVC Resin 701 offers superior mechanical properties, high thermal stability, and good compatibility with plasticizers, making it suitable for calendaring, extrusion, and molding applications in diverse industries.
Primary Uses
Flexible PVC Products
Used in making cables, wires, hoses, and tubing due to its excellent flexibility and plasticizer compatibility.
Ideal for synthetic leather and flooring where softness, strength, and durability are essential.
Employed in production of raincoats, boots, and inflatable items requiring elongation and softness.
Calendaring Applications
Applied in the production of flexible films, sheets, and decorative foils.
Used in wall coverings, upholstery, and tablecloths requiring a smooth, printable surface.
Extrusion Applications
Utilized in manufacturing soft tubing for medical and industrial use.
Applied in flexible conduit systems and protective coverings for mechanical and electrical components.
Dipping and Coating Applications
Used in glove manufacturing (industrial and medical) through plastisol dipping.
Employed in coatings for tool handles, safety equipment, and textiles.
Injection Molding
Applied in soft, flexible molded items like gaskets, seals, and footwear components.
Secondary Uses
Medical Applications (Flexible Grade)
Used in non-critical components like blood bags, IV tubing, and oxygen masks (depending on purity and formulation).
Toys and Childcare Products
Applied in the production of soft toys and teething items with appropriate stabilizers.
Automotive Interiors
Used in dashboard skins, seat covers, and door panel coatings for flexible, weather-resistant surfaces.
Adhesives and Sealants
Added in formulation of PVC-based sealants and adhesives to improve elasticity and adhesion.
Textile Coating
Used in manufacturing waterproof fabrics, tarpaulins, and awnings.
