WHAT IS PVC? 

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a popular material for a wide range of plastic products. It is a durable material, exhibits chemical and biological resistance. While it is a rigid plastic, the addition of plasticizers results in a more flexible material. PVC is cheaper to manufacture than other thermoplastics, making it a cost-effective material to use in many applications.

PVC is typically used for applications in the automotive, construction, plumbing, marine, furniture, and RV, window & door, and farm & garden industries. Some of the custom PVC parts we manufacture at Preferred Plastics are:
