PVC Suspension Resins PVC-1091

PVC-1091 is a medium molecular weight general purpose vinyl suspension resin designed for pipe, siding, window lineals and other general rigid extrusion applications where consistent particle size distribution and low contamination and residual VCM levels are important. This resin has good color and thermal stability.

PVC-1091 is listed in PPI Technical Report, 'PPI PVC Range Composition Listing of Qualified Ingredients' (TR-2/2006), under Section IV, 'Listings of Qualified and Functionally Equivalent Ingredients' Table 1-PVC Resin.
