thermoplastics with a wide range of applications than any
other plastics.
It plays an important role in every field such as
agriculture, electrical, irrigation, house roofs, shoe soles
and many other fields .
It is having limited thermal stability.

uPVC melts are viscous and typical flow path ratio is in the
order of 60 : 1 viscosity of plasticized PVC depends on
plasticizer level.
