<strong>Polymers</strong><br />
EDC / VCM<br />
Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is the major raw material used in the manufacture of PVC. It is produced<br />
from the basic raw materials of ethylene and chlorine.<br />
Ethylene, one of the most important building blocks of the petrochemical industry, is produced by the<br />
thermal cracking of hydrocarbons. <strong>Chlor</strong>ine is produced by the electrolysis of salt (sodium chloride),<br />
and is a co-product of the manufacture of caustic soda. Ethylene and chlorine are reacted together to<br />
form the important process intermediate, ethylene dichloride (EDC).<br />
A complete VCM production plant consists of the following major units:<br />
• A direct chlorination unit in which ethylene and chlorine are combined in a continuous process to<br />
form EDC<br />
• An EDC cracking unit in which EDC is thermally decomposed into VCM and hydrogen chloride<br />
• An oxychlorination unit in which recycled hydrogen chloride is reacted with further ethylene feedstock<br />
in the presence of copper chloride catalyst and oxygen.<br />
EVC’s VCM and PVC resins facilities are located on large integrated sites. VCM is produced principally<br />
for use within EVC with any surplus being sold on the external market. Production capacity of VCM<br />
stands at 1.1 million tonnes per annum.<br />

S-PVC<br />
PVC resin is formed by the polymerisation of VCM. PVC is made as a number of different product<br />
types, each subdivided into a range of grades to meet the requirements of specific applications. EVC’s<br />
PVC resins products are marketed under the name EVIPOL. Production facilities are located in<br />
Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.<br />
S-PVC represents almost 90% of the PVC output of EVC, and is the type used for virtually all extrusion,<br />
injection moulding and film making processes. Individual grades produced are characterised by their<br />
melt flow properties and suitability for rigid (unplasticised) or flexible (plasticised) applications.<br />
The PVC process involves the polymerisation of VCM in large scale batch reactors in the presence of<br />
water together with initiators (catalysts) and other additives. In the case of the suspension process, the<br />
suspended droplets of liquid monomer are progressively converted to solid or porous PVC particles<br />
depending on grade. Once the reaction is essentially complete, unreacted VCM is removed and the<br />
polymer is isolated by centrifuging and drying.<br />

This type of polymer is used in the major fabrication areas of extrusion, injection moulding and blow<br />
moulding, and for the manufacture of films and foils. Typical applications include potable and gravity<br />
pipes, window frames, cable insulation, food and pharmaceutical packaging, automotive and domestic<br />
appliance components, medical applications such as tubing and blood bags.<br />
Copolymer grades are also produced, for example with up to 15% vinyl acetate being copolymerised<br />
with vinyl chloride, in a process which is essentially similar to that used for S-PVC. Copolymer grades<br />
have increased toughness compared with S-PVC and are used for high quality film and foil applications.<br />
EVC International N.V.
E-PVC<br />
E-PVC represents approximately 10% of PVC produced by EVC.<br />
It is used in a wide range of speciality applications involving coating,<br />
dipping and spreading operations, for which S-PVC cannot be<br />
used. It is generally converted into a usable form by the addition<br />
of plasticisers to form a ‘plastisol’ or paste.<br />
The polymerisation stage involves an emulsion of very fine<br />
droplets of VCM in water, and the polymerisation process takes<br />
place to form a stable emulsion, or latex, of polymer in water. After<br />
the removal of unreacted monomer, the water is removed by evaporation<br />
in spray drying equipment.<br />
Applications for E-PVC include coated fabrics, conveyor belting,<br />
cushion and wear layers of flooring, and wallcoverings.<br />
EVC’s E-PVC production sites are located in Germany, Italy and the<br />
United Kingdom. Annual capacity of emulsion PVC stands at 160 kt.<br />

PVC Compounds<br />
PVC compounds are prepared by blending PVC resin with stabilisers, pigments and other additives to<br />
give the required properties in the fabricated finished product. In the case of compounds for flexible<br />
applications, plasticisers are also included in the formulations.<br />
PVC compounds are produced in two physical forms:<br />
• Granules: PVC resin blended with the appropriate additives is fed to melt processing or extrusion<br />
equipment. The molten composition is then pelletised and cooled, producing PVC compound in<br />
granular form. Almost 90% of EVC’s compound production is of this type.<br />
• Dry Blends: PVC resin is blended with the appropriate additives and is screened and packed as a dry<br />
powder.<br />

EVC is active in all sectors of the compounds market and produces<br />
thousands of different formulations of PVC compounds used in a<br />
variety of industries. Its production is split equally between rigid<br />
compounds, mainly used by pipe, rolling-shutter, bottle and window<br />
profile manufacturers, and flexible compounds, mainly used<br />
for cables, profiles, medical and footwear applications.<br />
EVC operates four compounds plants in Italy, one in Germany,<br />
one in Switzerland and one in the United Kingdom.<br />
The PVC compounds products are marketed under the name<br />
EVICOM.<br />

PVC Films<br />
PVC Films are produced by blending PVC resin with appropriate additives, followed by melt processing<br />
and film formation using calendering equipment. In the calendering process the PVC mixture is initially<br />
melted in the gap between two heated metal cylinders rotating in opposite directions. Further cylinders<br />
control the consistency and thickness of the films, which typically range between 0.06 and 1.2 mm.<br />
Following the calendering process, a sophisticated range of finishing processes can be applied in-house<br />
including coating, laminating and stretching of the films. The finished films are cut to size and either<br />
wound onto reels or kept totally flat, depending on the final application requirements.<br />
The Films business focuses on manufacturing and supplying rigid films to four major application markets:<br />
• Coated and uncoated films for pharmaceutical and medical packaging - such as blister packaging<br />
• Magnetic stripes and smart cards - such as bank cards, identity systems and telecommunication cards<br />
• Films for applications such as printing and decoration, furniture, office supplies and special technical<br />
applications<br />
• Food and non-food packaging films<br />
EVC operates PVC rigid film plants in Germany and Italy and is the largest producer of films for credit<br />
cards in Europe. In addition, EVC holds a majority interest in Caprihans India Limited, the Indian<br />
producer of rigid, flexible and extruded films. This venture reinforces EVC’s commercial presence in the<br />
region and the neighbouring markets of Asia Pacific. It also strengthens our competitive position in<br />
rigid films across the global marketplace.<br />

Safety, Health and Environment<br />
Protecting the environment is central to EVC’s commitment. The goal of sustainable development is<br />
seen as key to the long-term, successful operation of the business and the efficient use of resources<br />
and the manufacture of products that do not damage the environment are essential requirements for<br />
business success.<br />
EVC’s approach is based on the principle of ‘Responsible Care’, and this is achieved through participation<br />
in the programmes of the Responsible Care ® initiatives in the territories in which the company operates.<br />
This commitment is summarised as an obligation to:<br />
• Protect the environment<br />
• Protect the health and safety of all engaged in the business<br />
• Protect and support communities in which EVC operates<br />
• Achieve commercial success in its business operations.<br />
In 1995, European Council of Vinyl Manufacturers (ECVM) member companies signed a voluntary<br />
Charter, committing themselves to meet demanding environmental standards for the production of<br />
VCM and S-PVC. In 1999, the scope of the Charter was extended to meet further demanding targets<br />
in the production of E-PVC by no later than 2003. In addition, in 2000, an integrated approach to<br />
deliver responsible cradle-to-grave PVC product management was set out in a ‘Voluntary Commitment<br />
of the PVC Industry’. The commitment, which has been signed by the four major industry associations,<br />
is a ground-breaking move by the European PVC industry, the first of its kind for the plastics industry.<br />
EVC International N.V.
EVC’s comprehensive Safety Management System has been derived from systems developed by the<br />
internationally respected survey and risk management group, Det Norske Veritas (DNV). Further<br />
developed to reflect the specific hazards and priorities of EVC’s business, this management system has<br />
been known since 1998 as the ‘EVC Rating System’.<br />
EVC Rating System is focused on achieving:<br />
• A clear definition of all activities and responsibilities<br />
• Recognised training and qualifications for all personnel<br />
• Required standards through internally and externally verified auditing<br />
