Extraction
The core ingredients of PVC are salt and oil so firstly we will need to extract the ethylene from the oil then we will need to extract the chlorine from water and sea water.
02.
Polymerisation
We will now use our solution from the previous step which is called ethylene dichloride which will then go through thermal cracking process that will then create vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) this will be sent through catalyst until the molecules react and link with each other.
03.
Compounding
Clearway not only manufactures PVC, but we also manufacture the compound that produces PVC. This is accomplished by incorporating various safe chemicals into the compound, which results in a PVC roll or sheet at the end of the process.
04.
Extrusion
Once we have the compound, we need to make this into PVC rolls or sheets. This is where the compound is pushed through the extruder at high temperatures and formed into the shape of our choice.
05.
Shipping
Now we have created our PVC product, and this is ready to ship directly to you, from our manufacturing plant straight to your door!
Credentials
Fully compliant and the only manufacturer using non-phthalate
We shout about this a lot as we are proud to be as green as possible when it comes to manufacturing our own PVC. Competitors tend to care more about the money rather than the quality and this shows. Here at Clearway, we are proud to produce PVC which is safe and healthy for all applications.
