European Plasticisers and VinylPlus have come together to bring you an interactive introduction to the world of plasticisers and flexible how they help us all in our daily lives.

PVC is one of the most widely used plastics in the world with a wide range of long-life applications such as flooring, cables, sport equipment, furniture and lifesaving medical devices.

So take a tour of our virtual city to see all the places where flexible PVC positively impacts your life!

PVC is the most widely used polymer in building and construction applications. Over 75% of applications have a long life-span (10 to 20 years and beyond), making PVC a perfect material to be used in buildings all across the world. In Europe alone, 60% of its annual production is used in this sector, which includes a considerable amount of flexible PVC.

Many everyday products such as electrical cables, luggage, sports equipment, footwear, tablecloths, stationery, roofing membranes, flooring, wallcovering and automotive applications, are made with flexible PVC. In addition, some plasticisers (US: plasticizers) are used in applications such as coatings, rubber products, adhesives and sealants.
