PVC Resin 702
PVC Resin 702 is a high molecular weight, suspension-grade polyvinyl chloride resin with a K-value around 70–72. It is specifically formulated for use in soft and flexible PVC products due to its excellent plasticizer absorption and high mechanical strength. Its superior elongation, thermal stability, and processability make it highly suitable for calendaring, extrusion, injection molding, and dip molding operations. PVC Resin 702 is extensively used across the cable, synthetic leather, film, and footwear industries.
PVC Resin 702
Primary Uses
Flexible PVC Applications
Used in production of wires, cables, and flexible conduit sheathing due to its compatibility with plasticizers and high flexibility.
Applied in manufacturing soft tubing, hoses, and inflatable products for both industrial and consumer use.
Employed in making synthetic leather for upholstery, garments, and accessories.
Calendaring
Ideal for calendared products like decorative films, upholstery sheets, flooring tiles, and wall coverings.
Provides excellent surface smoothness and color retention.
Injection Molding
Used in production of flexible PVC footwear components, toys, and seals requiring high elongation and impact resistance.
Dipping Applications
Applied in glove manufacturing (household, industrial, and medical gloves) via plastisol dipping.
Used for handle grips, safety equipment coatings, and tool insulation.
Extrusion
Used for making flexible PVC profiles, tubes, edge bands, and soft trims.
Offers good melt flow and consistent dimensional stability.
Secondary Uses
Medical and Healthcare Products
Used in non-critical applications such as tubing, fluid transfer systems, and oxygen masks (when formulated with medical-grade additives).
Toys and Infant Products
Suitable for soft toys, bath items, and other flexible molded goods when stabilized appropriately for safety.
Packaging
Used in stretch films, cling wraps, and blister packs requiring good flexibility and clarity.
Automotive Interiors
Applied in dashboards, soft trims, and seat covering skins for UV-resistant, durable finishes.
Adhesives & Sealants
Incorporated into PVC-based adhesives to improve elasticity, flexibility, and bond strength.
Tarpaulins and Coated Fabrics
Used for outdoor fabric coatings requiring waterproofing and resistance to mechanical wear.
