Latest News and Developments:
- April 2026: Molecor participated once again in Vinyl India 2026, a prominent global event in the PVC sector, held in April at the Sahara Star Hotel in Mumbai. The event brought together over 1100 industry professionals and around 50 exhibitors. At the 13th edition, Dolores Herrán, Business Development and Marketing Director at Molecor, delivered a presentation during Session VII, which focused on future oriented application and machinery innovations. Her session, titled “The PVC O Innovation Journey,” outlined the advantages of PVC O over conventional materials, supported by Molecor’s proprietary molecular orientation technology and the strong mechanical performance of its solutions.
Product Description
Polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as PVC, is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer belonging to the vinyl family, and it is produced from vinyl chloride monomer (chloroethene). Its repeat unit has the molecular formula C2H3Cl in Hill notation, and the commercial resin is a polymer rather than a single compound, so no single molecular formula describes the whole material. It is typically a white, rigid solid that is largely amorphous with some crystalline order, and it shows good mechanical strength and resistance to water, acids, alkalis and many solvents. Because of its high chlorine content it is inherently flame retardant and self extinguishing, though its thermal stability is limited. Unplasticized grades are rigid, while the addition of plasticizers produces flexible grades. Construction is the largest user, where it goes into pipes, fittings, profiles, window frames, flooring and roofing membranes. Electrical industries use it as insulation and jacketing for wires and cables. Packaging producers use it in bottles, films and blister packs, and healthcare manufacturers use flexible grades in tubing and blood bags. In coatings, sealants and adhesives it acts as a binder, and in certain formulations it serves as a base resin.
