When it finds its way into the environment, PVC, along with other similar plastics, take an extremely long time to break down, often several hundred years. Vinyl was first invented in 1920 by scientists who wanted to develop a material that would help to manufacture everyday products that were easier to make, more durable, and cheaper than what was available. Today, Vinyl has become the second largest manufactured and sold plastic resin in the entire world. Vinyl is such an important material in the modern world that it’s hard to imagine living without it. It has so many uses, and it is inexpensive and easy to work with.

Although vinyl records were eventually superseded by digital music even among DJs, the format has enjoyed a renaissance among music enthusiasts in recent years, with a huge increase in production of vinyl records compared with just 10 or 20 years ago.

Among the earliest uses was in vinyl records, which finally won the battle against the phonograph cylinder by around the early 1910s. At the same time, since the manufacture of new PVC requires the use of crude oil, recycling vinyl also helps increase its sustainability. In the 1940s, the makers of vinyl did their bit to help out in war times. There was an acute scarcity of natural rubber, thus vinyl was used as a coating for wires and proved to be an excellent substance for insulation of wires.

Vinyl is such an important material that it is used in the manufacture of many medical products. In an industry where human life is at stake if any inferior substances are used, Vinyl has found many applications because of its non-hazardous properties. Vinyl is commonly used for making the following medical products. Vinyl, along with polyurethane, is also commonly used in waterproof protectors, for example in waterproof mattress covers. These are used to cover children’s mattresses and can also be found in hotels. Vinyl is also used in waterproof protectors for walls, for example. The Manufacturing of Vinyl

The leading applications of Vinyl are in the construction and building industry. Almost 60% of all vinyl made in the United States is used in construction and furnishings. Here are some of the applications of vinyl in construction. Many of you may have come across the terms vinyl siding, vinyl records, vinyl flooring, vinyl gloves etc, but may not know what exactly vinyl is. Vinyl is a plastic material, which unlike other plastics, can easily be recycled. Because of the durability of vinyl, products made from this material have a long life span. Add to this the fact that the vinyl can then be recycled, which translates into an even longer life of the vinyl plastic resin. With modern technology, it has become possible to safely incinerate vinyl (and other plastics), and this is what happens to an increasing proportion of it.

Either of these processes yields vinyl resin as the final material. The vinyl resin is in the form of a powder. The vinyl resin, by itself, is not useful. Through the final step of vinyl compounding, it is transformed into a substance that has many uses. Compounding of Vinyl In this step, the ethylene and chlorine are united with each other, using one out of two procedures. Either Direct Chlorination (where pure chlorine and ethylene are used), or Oxychlorination (where ethylene reacts with chlorine in hydrogen chloride) are the two processes used. However, some similarities can be seen with what happened with bisphenol A (BPA). This was a substance found in some plastics that was subsequently found to have a deleterious effect on human health.The most common use of vinyl is that in construction, especially as vinyl flooring and vinyl siding. In fact, these uses of vinyl are often thought of as its only uses. In addition to these, vinyl has many other uses because of its ability to combine with various additives and modifiers, thus making vinyl highly suitable to be used in the manufacture of many different products. Common Properties Of Vinyl Vinyl is not a natural substance but is a synthetic man-made material. It is a type of plastic that is made from ethylene (found in crude oil) and chlorine (found in regular salt). When processed, both the substances are combined to form Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) resin, or as is commonly referred to – Vinyl. It was largely replaced by bisphenol S (BPS), but this is now also thought to cause similar problems. The solution is to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of single-use plastics while at the same time finding the best ways for disposing of plastics like vinyl that are important in applications such as construction.
