PVC Powder (Polyvinyl Chloride)
PVC powder is supplied in free-flowing form for flexible coatings, dip-coating, and rotational processing applications. It offers inherent flame resistance and strong chemical resistance, and can be formulated across a wide hardness range. Typical particle size ranges from roughly under 10 to 150 µm depending on resin type; particle size and specific grade are confirmed at time of quotation.
