What Are the Benefits of a PVC Coating?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a coating compound used to strength and bolster materials and fabrics. PVC is a flexible compound that stays incredibly pliable in low temperatures, making it an excellent choice for those working in colder temperatures. Due to its low adherence level, PVC is incredibly resistant to sticky substances, making it ideal for professionals working with and around glue, grease and oil.
