Vinyl chloride copolymers

Vinyl chloride copolymers play an important role in surface technology due to their wide range of possible applications and their specific properties. These copolymers are often used as coatings, films or lacquers and offer a range of advantageous features for different applications.

By varying the copolymer composition, vinyl chloride copolymers can be adapted to the specific requirements of different surfaces. They can provide flexibility, hardness, adhesion, chemical resistance and other desired properties depending on the monomers with which they are copolymerized.

In surface technology, vinyl chloride copolymers are often used as coatings to protect, seal or decorate surfaces. They can be used on metals, plastics, wood and other substrates and provide good adhesion and a tough surface layer. These coatings can be used in various industries, including construction, automotive, electronics, furniture manufacturing and others.

In addition, vinyl chloride copolymers are also used to produce films and foils used in the packaging industry, labels, graphic applications and many other areas. Their versatility and adaptability make them an important material option in surface engineering, where they help to meet the protection, aesthetic and functionality requirements of various surfaces.
