Applications of Vinyl

Manufacturing determines their suitability for various applications, their durability, and their cost. There are currently two primary forms of mass production of vinyl films and they are casting and calendaring.

Polyvinyl Chloride or Vinyl compound is chiefly made from two basic substances - Salt and Crude Oil. The salt is used to obtain chlorine through a process called electrolytic dissociation of salt. The crude oil, petroleum, or natural gas, is used to obtain Ethylene.

In a process called 'cracking', the petroleum is passed through high heat and pressure, as a result of which the petroleum is broken down into ethylene, butadiene, propylene, and other by-products. Through further process, the other by-products are separated and only ethylene remains, which is then used to manufacture Vinyl.
