PVC


Versatile Solutions for Construction and Consumer Goods
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a widely used general-purpose thermoplastic that can be customized in terms of hardness, durability, and other properties by adjusting the additives used during processing. Leveraging these characteristics, PVC is extensively used in a variety of applications, including flooring, window frames, pipes, interior films, and more. LG Chem has developed HRTP (Heat-resistant and Recyclable ThermoPlastic), an innovative high-molecular-weight PVC with excellent durability and heat resistance, offering solutions for electric vehicle charging cables, automotive high-heat-resistant wires, high-quality artificial leather, and more. Additionally, LG Chem is leading the eco-friendly trend with BCB PVC (Bio-Circular Balanced PVC), which uses bio-based raw materials, and PCR PVC (Post-Consumer Recycled PVC), which incorporates recycled materials.
