How RH Nuttall Make PVC in the UK
PVC is made through melding molecules of monomer together to make a polymer – a synthetic material made from larger-than-normal molecules.
To make PVC, you create chloride by starting with a batch of salt water. You pass an electrical current through that water and then combine it with ethylene – a gas. This changes your chlorine into vinyl chloride.
Lastly, the vinyl chloride monomer goes through the polymerisation process, where those molecules form into strands, which then take on the PVC characteristics. From this point, manufacturers can add other materials to create the desired finish.
