WHAT IS uPVC?
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride Vinyl) is one of the three major thermoplastics – Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE) and PVC being manufactured and used across the globe. Globaly, around 60% (˜21 million metric tons) of PVC finds its way into infrastructure in the form of Water/SWR/ Plumbing/Drainage Pipes, Window & Door Profiles, Prefab Housing, Portal Cabins, False Ceilings, Wires & Cables, Floorings, Sidings & Claddings, Dockings, Fencing, Cable Trays & Channels, etc. thereby earning the sobriquet of “Infrastructure Plastic”. To make PVC useful for various applications, additives such as thermal stabilizers, lubricants, processing aids, colorants, UV stabilizers, Plasticizers, filers, etc. are added to it before processing to ensure good mechanical properties and weather-ability. Due to this process, called “Compounding”, PVC becomes a highly versatile plastic making its processing possible for the rigidest of products (unplasticised PVC, i.e. uPVC) to the softest (fPVC)
WHY uPVC WINDOWS?
UPVC Windows are widely used across the globe, from the deserts of Arizona to the coldest parts of Scandinavia/Russia, from the hot environs of Gulf to the tropics of Malaysia, Thailand as well as very extensively in China, S. Korea, Taiwan, and many more Geographies. In fact Europe and North America predominantly use only UPVC Windows in their residential constructions, for both new and replacement. This is due to their good aesthetics, durability, noise proof, low maintenance requirement, best air & water tightness, and their ability to provide excellent thermal insulation, thereby helping save air conditioning power costs in homes, offices and commercial centers. UPVC Windows come with a very high quality surface finish, soft-contoured profiles and a variety of styles to meet the needs of the most demanding architects, designers and users. The environmental benefit of using UPVC Windows instead of wood and metal windows is phenomenal. Due to their ability to conserve energy throughout their lifetime, UPVC Windows are recognized as Green Windows thereby scoring over traditional wood and metal windows.
