What is Polyvinyl Chloride?
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): PVC is the main component in the manufacturing process of New England Arbor products. There are many chemical forms of vinyl. Some formulations are flexible. Others are termed “rigid.” New England Arbor vinyl is formulated out of this rigid dry-blend compound developed for high output extrusion. Our exclusive formula is blended for outdoor toughness and color hold.

Others are termed “rigid.” Merchants Metals Vinyl is formulated out of this rigid dry-blend compound developed for high output extrusion.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): PVC is the main component in the manufacturing process of VinylGard products. There are many chemical forms of vinyl. Some formulations are flexible. Others are termed “rigid.” VinylGard Vinyl is formulated out of this rigid dry-blend compound developed for high output extrusion.
Polyvinyl chloride, better known as PVC or vinyl, is an inexpensive plastic so versatile it has become completely pervasive in modern society. The list of products made from polyvinyl chloride is exhaustive, ranging from phonograph records to drainage and potable piping, water bottles, cling film, credit cards and toys. More uses include window frames, rain gutters, wall paneling, doors, wallpapers, flooring, garden furniture, binders and even pens. Even imitation leather is a product of polyvinyl chloride. In fact, it’s hard to turn anywhere without seeing some form of this plastic. In 1913, polyvinyl chloride became the first synthetic product ever patented. However, its diversity and ubiquitousness is now in question, as it comes from a highly toxic production industry and potentially remains an environmental threat throughout all phases of its life. In addition to the toxic chemical processing required to make PVC, mounting research indicates a tendency for some PVC products to lee
