Where would we be without plastic, PVC and PU products? The answer to that question is hard to even answer; plastics are a part of almost every part of life, not just in manufacturing industries, but in food processing, medicine, and many other sectors of society as well. There are many, many different types of plastic, with polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU) being the most often used formulations. Here is a list of some of the more common of these two types of plastic products.

PVC Products-Everyone, whether or not they realise, comes into a number of PVC products everyday; this list is only a very partial one.

-grocery bags -car seats -flooring -household product containers

-boots -dashboards -fencing -chequebook covers

-lingerie -auto upholstery -pipes -toys

-luggage -door frames -tiles -mattress covers

-rain coats -moulding -wire/cable insulation -shower curtains

-shoes -window frames -gutters -plastic wrap

PU Products-Polyurethane, unlike PVC, has the ability to be fluffed into formed into products of different textures and consistencies; PVC is almost always a slick, hard plastic. Some of the most commonly used PU products are...

-furniture cushion filling -bandages -surfboards

-mattresses -bean bags -medical gels

-automobile tires -shoe soles -foam packing materials

-automobile car seat filling -pillows -paints

-hydraulic seals -raincoats -insulation

-wooden floor finishes -artificial rocks for landscaping -appliances

Because polyurethane has the ability to actually change composition, there are even more uses than PVC. There are several online sites that offer full lists of plastic, PVC and PU products.
