Q
is pvc better than pu
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Determining whether PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is better than PU (Polyurethane) largely depends on the specific application and environmental considerations. PVC is a versatile, affordable plastic commonly used in construction, pipes, and medical devices. It offers excellent water and chemical resistance, but it has been criticized for its environmental impact, particularly concerning its production and disposal processes which release harmful chemicals. On the other hand, PU is known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to abrasion and impact. It's frequently used in furniture, footwear, and automotive interiors. PU is generally more expensive but considered more environmentally friendly than PVC, especially when produced as a water-based rather than solvent-based polyurethane. However, PU might not be as resistant to certain chemicals and temperatures compared to PVC. Therefore, the choice between PVC and PU should be based on the specific requirements of durability, flexibility, environmental impact, and cost.
