Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer formed through the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers. This material possesses characteristics such as water and fire resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, exceptional insulation, malleability, colorability, and cost-effectiveness.

PVC is divided into two categories: rigid PVC is used for the production of sheets, profiles, pipes, etc., while flexible PVC is employed for films, coatings, pipes, and more.

  • Construction Industry:

    PVC finds extensive use in the production of sheets, profiles, pipes, wall coverings, and other applications due to its positive properties such as water and fire resistance, as well as economic feasibility.

  • Automotive Industry:

    As a fundamental material in automotive manufacturing, PVC is used for producing various floor coverings, coatings, dashboards, and interior components of vehicles.

  • Pipe Industry:

    PVC is utilized in the production of water, sewage, gas, and electrical pipes due to its resistance to water and other factors, excellent insulation, and cost-effectiveness.

  • Packaging Industry:

    In this industry, PVC serves as a fundamental material for producing sheets, films, bags, and boxes, offering advantages such as transparency, moldability, and resistance to various factors.

Generally, most PVC producers in Iran are located in the industrial zones of the north, central, and southern regions. These areas have suitable infrastructure, access to raw materials, and consumer markets.

The price of PVC depends on various factors, including the type of PVC (rigid or flexible), PVC quality, packaging type, exchange rates, market demand, transportation costs, etc. According to the report of the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO), the average prices of different types of PVC in the domestic market in 2023, based on dollars and FOB terms, are as follows:

  • Rigid PVC: Approximately $0.85 per kilogram
  • Flexible PVC: Approximately $0.70 per kilogram

PVC Emulsion: Approximately $0.95 per kilogram

  • (These prices are calculated based on FOB terms, meaning the seller is responsible for the cargo until it is loaded onto the ship, and after that, the risks and transportation costs are transferred to the buyer.)

PVC is usually packaged in 25 kg plastic bags or 200 kg metal drums. For PVC exports, plastic bags or metal drums are commonly used. For domestic transportation of PVC, trucks, railways, or boats can be used. For international transportation of PVC, ships or airplanes can be utilized.
