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 />
